A Finn's Fantastic Finds - I Love Ebay Edition

First of all, a huge thanks to Funktastic for coming up with such an awesome name for my blog. It's a million times better than anything I would've come up with. So thanks!

Without further ado, let's get down to business. All of these games have been acquired through ebay.



Starting it off with the lone DS game in this haul, we have Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Some people don't seem to like the DS Zeldas, but I found this one really enjoyable.



Next up, Megaman Zeros 2-4. These are all still sealed, and I intend to keep them that way. I love the Megaman Zero series. I still need to get the first one on GBA and the collection on DS, and then I'll be a happy panda.



Megadrive! These were going for quite cheap, so I figured I might as well buy them (even though I don't own the console itself). Gotta love the boxart on Strider. So cheesy!



Ebay isn't always as kind to me, it seems. I thought I was bidding on the special edition of the Transformers game from 2004 (the awesome one), but instead I got this thing. I guess that's something you have to be prepared for when shopping on ebay. Sooner or later you'll get scammed. At least the seller was kind enough to not scam me on Every Extend Extra.



Here we have Dragon Quest VIII and Front Mission 5 for PS2. I had to get the NTSC version of DQ8, since it came with a cardboard box, and the PAL-version didn't. Oh, and Front Mission 5 is awesome, but the last few missions are kicking my ass. One of these days, I will beat it, though!



Have I mentioned that I love mahjong? Well I do. And I love Akagi and Legendary Gambler Tetsuya, both of which are animes about mahjong. So when I got the chance to buy these games based on the animes, of course I had to have them.



Here's some NES games. I was specifically aiming for Ducktales, but ended up getting the other two as well. Got them for pretty cheap too, about 15€ altogether.



Some awesome PS2 games here, Killer 7, Yakuza and the special edition of Silent Hill 2 (missing the manual unfortunately). Got these for super cheap as well, only a few euros a pop.



All the games from here on out are japanese imports. We've got D no Shokutaku: Complete Graphics edtion, Beat Mania, Front Mission 2 and some kind of game making software called Let's be a super GAME CREATOR!!



A couple Saturn games. Enemy Zero, a survival horror game where the enemies are invisible, and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner.



Here we have the first Front Mission for the SNES, Gyakuten Saiban 2 for GBA and a Shaman King fighting game for the Playstation.



And here's Hideo Kojimas brilliant adventure game Policenauts and Policenauts: Private Collection, which contains all kinds of extras and information about the game. And it comes with a poster!:






Oh yeah, and I bought an ipod touch (not from ebay, though). Plants vs. Zombies is great on this thing.


And that is it for this time. Look forward to my next haul, I've got a lot of awesome stuff coming up. It might take a while until I manage to amass enough stuff for another blog post, though.

Until then, cheerios!



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Great stuff! I am really liking all that import stuff you managed to snag! I used to have a bunch of imported games for the SNES but I was stupid and traded them all away for things I no longer have.

Can't wait to see more of your hauls and thanks for sharing!

I dig your things. I use ebay to get stuff as well though it can be hit or miss with good deals. Recently snagged a Shadow Hearts: Covenant strategy guide for $10 which made me happy. I look forward to jealously fapping to pictures of your things.

Is that a hologram cover on Enemy Zero?

Nice stuff mate! ^_^ Glad you liked the blog name idea! =P Hahaha! A wee bit too much moonspeak stuff for my liking, although, I must admit, the Devil Summoner (ATLUS baby!) and the Policenauts are pretty sweet! =D
