    I want:
    -To plug the holes in my list of R2 2600 carts.
    -A 2nd 5200 controller refurb kit.
    -To complete my U.S. Virtual Boy collection (only three titles away).
    -Small battery packs (rechargeable or BYOB) for Nomad and/or Game Gear.
    -Some Dreamcast import stuff: Godzilla Generations and some Japanese-release-only VMU's.
    -To pick up a few odds and ends for Jaguar and Lynx*

    * - And as usual, this last statement is best translated as meaning "I'll probably blow most of my dough at the B&C Computervisions booth." Wouldn't want to mess with tradition.

    Heh. Funny. I never put much thought into what I'd buy. Just jazzed to be going.

    -Retro game shirts: If I can find some polos with classic logos on them, that'd be cool. Represent my retro love at work with pride and still look business casual .

    -classic magazines: I still have to plug some holes in my VG&CE and Game Player's collection. Thankfully I'm just collecting what I used to have and nothing else BUT the downside was that I started buying the mags when they first started so I'm after the older more sought after mags.

    -maybe get some 2600 homebrew: been pretty impressed with what I've seen out there.

    I'd like to get some bigger items if the prices are right (still internally fighting to see if I want to get an Atari 5200 again) but I think the shipping would be murder and I don't know if I want to pack it in our luggage as I don't know what else my wife and I would be acquiring in Vegas.

    Two Arcadia 2001 Titles (Spiders and Grand Slam Tennis)
    Colecovision and Colecovision peripherals/controllers

    After the above, whatever the little voices in my head tell me to get. Last year at OKGE they told me to get an SMS and the 3D specs, so this year they may tell me to get a 32x to be consistent with the "voices in my head have a thing for Sega" theme.

    I also am weighing whether or not to bring an original Odyssey or two for the swap room. The shipping of such a beast is expensive, so I'm hoping I'll find people who'd want to take advantage of getting one in person.

    Hmm, I'd trade a complete Odyssey for a complete Colecovision. Is that a fair trade?
    EDIT: Yeah, that be a good thing to do if I actually had a complete Odyssey. I forgot that I don't have the box for the rf switch for any of them.

    Oh, and I'd like a chance to play something on a working Adventurevision, just because I know I'll never put out the money needed to own one.

    And a pony.

    EDIT: Okay, scratch the ColecoVision and its peripherals. Scratch the 32x. The voices in my head drove me to eBay and to a local store and suddenly I have those things.

    I'm still looking for the Arcadia 2001 stuff, though.

    I'll be looking for the following:

    CIB N64 games
    Empty NES boxes or boxed/CIB NES games that I can buy to have the box.
    CIB/boxed SNES games or empty SNES boxes

    And, specifically:
    Mortal Kombat II (32X) CIB
    Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (SMS) CIB
    Nester's Funky Bowling (VB) Box and Manual

    Thats all I can think of for now.

    Probably a new 7800, as mine doesn't work that well. Preferably one of the early ones that was manufactured in 1984.
    And if I do get that, I am interested in a Supercharger.

    Games:
    Turbografx hucard games
    Turbografx / PC Engine CD games
    Sega Master System games
    Colecovision games
    N-Gage games
    A few games for every other system I have - 2600, 7800, NES, Genesis, SNES, Sega CD, Saturn, Playstation, Dreamcast, etc.

    I'm interested in accessories. Mainly the "weird" ones -- if it's interesting and unusual I'll probably want it. Two specific (and big) wants of mine are SMS 3D glasses and a Saturn twin stick.

    Finally, if anyone has an Amiga for sale, I am very likely to buy it. And if I do, I would certainly buy Amiga games/accessories/parts as well.

    I also want an RGB monitor (with or without the Amiga). Like a Commodore 1084, or whatever.

    I've never been to CGE before, so I'm going to focus on not buying too much! Seriously, though, I mostly want to beef up my 5200 collection (which is really small right now). I might buy some homebrews for the 2600 and 7800 as well. I wouldn't mind getting more issues of Electronic Games and other pre-crash magazine. I think I'm going to just have to see everything and take it all in.

    I think it is during whatever the show floor hours are. I dunno if they're open during things like the auction (that is after hours...right?). Swap area may see a fluctuation of sellers since there is an hourly charge (is there an hourly charge this year?).

    I have to change my status from "confirmed going" to "maybe" =( (job issues). Some things that are on my mind...if I make it out:

    Software:
    -Sega CD/32X games

    -Genesis games. Specifically: Gain Ground/Gunstar Heroes. Really simple, yet slightly pricey, items to find right? I tried to get my hands on both of these last CGE...still haven't gotten around to finding complete copies of either!

    -Is NES Reproductions coming out? Cause I def want some of those carts.

    Hardware:
    -Thinking about an Odyssey. Possibly a 5200. Maybe a 3DO. Probably a Famicom. Nothing outrageous or rare. I'm a simple man in that respect.

    Fun fact: When it comes to my experience with CGE and hardware, I rarely ever walk out of the show with what I was determined to buy. Only because I wind up sidetracked by a bunch of other stuff that I didn't realize I wanted, but found out I absolutely had to have. I wonder how many of us are going to stay true to our "I want" lists.
