That Zelda 3DS is not even close to a find of the year, although it is a sweet deal. The Miracle keyboard is closer, and might be about that level if was complete.
man, been having a hard time getting anything recently, did my normal rounds today and only came home with: 3ds charger $2 Perfect Dark cart only $2.99

I snagged one of these today too. Thanks for the heads up. Front of the box is a little faded, but otherwise minty fresh for $20.
havent posted any games finds for a while. I spent most of my money last month on anime and DVDs from an FYE that was closing.
this morning I went to the fleamarket and I got
Buffy The Vampire Slayer XBOX $2.00 Complete
Game Genie for Genesis $1.00
Junction GEN $1.00 Never heard of this game!
Forsaken 64 $5.00
The selection wasnt that great. The flemarket on the weekends has mostly newish stuff, not game related. I have to go on weekdays to get more gaming goodies.

Ooh, will have to look for one when I go out in a bit.

I picked up one too. Gaah I hate it when a post has only an indistinguishable acronym! I almost missed this because of a simple post stating purchase of a TvC fight stick. Thanks to Hobie's earlier post of looking into buying one spiked my curiosity.
Anyone who has a Wii should definitely grab this. Anyone who likes modding for other systems such as jay_red should also grab it! To raise awareness no acronyms, but the full description. Here is the Gamestop link and pic.
At one time these were going for around eighty bucks. The $39.99 price sticker is dated December 2011. Don't think, just click the link and find a local Gamestop. Definitely don't call ahead, the employee might just buy it themselves. A very nice Arcade stick though only for Classic Controller games. Note the slide switch to select either Analog Stick or the Digital pad. The mod in me wants to gut a Remote for Bit Runner and Metroid M. I'll post a review at my Wii Gamecube Thread later.

Finally stepping out of the past and got a Pearl Blue Game Boy Advance SP for $21 off Ebay last night. That is the AGS-101 (2nd revision) with the brighter LCD screen and it comes with the charger. Not bad considering SP's are selling from $30-$50 over the past few days there.
Going to use it for my older GB titles for now, until I can find decent deals on some of the really NICE GBA titles. Was wanting one of these for the longest time.

I would lol.
I'm in a pinch here as well. I've seen the prices jump online, but just like the Skyward Sword/wiimote bundle, there are still a couple of places to buy these new at MSRP near me. I know that it will "eventually" command the prices that it is going for online now, but man, that's almost $200 bucks, and I'll probably never use it.
Being a collector sucks sometimes, because I buy stuff I want to use, but don't want to open it. I haven't gotten to play Mortal Kombat yet (which I'm pretty sure won fighting game of the year multiple times for 2011) because I bought the collector's edition, and I don't want to open it. Same for Catherine.
F-it, I should just buy one. LOL. Who knows? Maybe it will integrate or do something really cool with the Wii-U when it comes out? I haven't been a huge fan of the 3D, but the games are sometimes pretty good. I still dust off my original "huge" DS from time to time, just to play the AMAZING Castlevania games exclusives. Damn.... now I'm probably gonna go buy one after work.
It's been a good while since I've posted anything on the Finds so here goes:
Refurbished SNES mini (with all cables and 2 generic controllers) + groovy SNES timer The timer was used back in the days before Internet cafes, neat little piece (picked while I was overseas on vacation; not an official N product)
SFII Guile watch sealed Bought from a fellow retro gamer off craigslist
FFVII + VIII Key Rings
Kunio-kun multicart for Famicom I love this cart; love it even more because it works on genuine hardware

20th Anniversary Sonic Figure + Comic Of course I had to snag these guys The comic is actually a redone issue of the old Archie comics
Club N 18 Card Case for 3DS Loving the 3DS since my wife got me the SM3DL bundle for X-mas; so much that I haven't touched my PS3 or 360 since! For 250 Club N coins
Old-school Super Mario lunch box My favorite find in a while! Same lunch box I used as a wee-lil' man! Bought off the same fellow who sold me that Guile watch. Popping that cap off the thermos brought back so many memories!
