Garage sales were good today. Early on I nabbed a ziplock bag with the following contents for $20.

Gameboy Color (yellow)
Pokemon Gold
Wario Land 2
Donkey Long Country
Donkey Kong Land 2
F-1 World Grand Prix 2
International Rally
Crazy Castle 3

I didn't really want the racing or crazy castle games but they were only selling as a lot. I wasn't going to argue based on the asking price so I happily took it all. 8)

Later I nabbed a few Wii games for $10:

Mario Party 8
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Wii Sports Resort

All in all, a pretty good day. :D

That's a nice chunk of gaming goodness there.

I went back to Toys 'R us.

There were some games I wanted and others I couldn't afford. I did spend cash on more games a few days ago.

But like a moth to a flame I burned myself.

But it was cheap!

DS Fossil Fighters Champions $3.99

WII The Adventures of Tin Tin The game $3.99

WII De Blob 2 $3.99

PS3 Crysis 3 Hunter Edition $8.00

I also got a nice set of in-ear buds/headphones For $4.00

I'll have to go next weekend (next paycheck) to get other games. Hopefully they will still be there.

You sound a lot like me but it does sound like you found a lot of decent stuff either way. You kinda make me want to check out toys r us but the closest one is 30mi away round trip *sigh* if only the one that was closer hadn't died quite a few years back...

Many games are 60% off!


happy hunting!

I went back to Toys 'R us.

THANKYOU! This is sweet! Not all the games were on the clearance 60% off, but I did spot some of the green tags. Looks like just the 60% green tags and only on some titles, but there are also accessories that have the green tag. According to the employee, there has not been any determined ending sale date of the tag sale.

Xbox 360 - Epic Mickey 2 19.99 $8.00 ToysrUs :shock:
Anyone who has not discovered Epic Mickey yet should jump on this! Even though a Disney title, they are very solid games and do not need all the silly figurines to unlock all the features. Already have both 1 and 2 for the Wii, bought the 360 version for my daughter who has that console.

Note that it is 60% off the green tag marked price! :mrgreen:

Yes that is the ICO Shadow Colossus HD edition for eight bucks! There are other PS3 HD collections also on sale!

I know it's a YMMV deal but did they mainly have worthwhile games on discount? I kinda want to have a rough idea if it's worth the trip.

I guess the discount varies with each store. In my local store only one game has a brown tag and almost all the rest have green tags.

I see that a lot of the games I see in your pics are also clearance in my store.

I'm also tempted to take epic mickey 2 as well. They still have plenty of copies for both wii and PS3. I may get it next weekend.

The games that I got these last few days are rare(ish). There was only a copy or two left. I went back again to try and find SYNDICATE for PS3. It was $8.00. But the clerk told me he just sold it a few hours before I got there. DAMN IT.

One more thing CRTGAMER! How many copies of Gremlins Gizmo does your store have? I swear theres like 10 copies for wii in my store. And the same amount for DS. I think that this game is exclusive to Toys R us? Its still expensive. Maybe it will go down? I dont know if the game is worth it?

Speaking of Toys R' US exclusives. They have a whole bunch of them. I still see a whole bunch in mine. There's two DS Hudson Beyblade games with a free toy in them. Not to mention some Zhu Zhu pets games too. Theres also a combo pack for wii that has Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! The only thing that makes this one special is the cardboard sleeve. Theres also some DS littlest petshop game and a princess fairy game with a free wand.

Theres a bunch of stuff. and you as a hardcore collector, what do you think of them?

I may go back for the beyblade games, Since they have the Hudson logo on them . But their original prices are $34.99. I guess I would get it for about 20 some dollars.

There's a lot on the table. I want more!

There were a bunch. I did not know it was an exclusive. I just checked Amazon (resell?) which has it for cheaper.

I just did a VG chartz search for Epic Mickey since I was surprised they had in stock as I thought it was kind of an obscure title. Looks like I am very wrong, it sold 2 million units!
