This weekend at the Toronto game show I did OK.  I was inside when someone showed up outside with a ton of goodies, so I missed most of them.  I did manage to get:

2 different empty NES controller boxes.  1 CAN and 1 US.
1 empty Challenge Set box (only half the foam)  CAN version
1 empty Deluxe Set box (no foam) CAN version
1 complete Action Set (new Red gun with Mattel stickers).  Box and foam werent great.  I guess Mattel started releasing their later stuff in Canada with just stickers to reduce cost instead of re-printing the box.  The NES also has a mattel sticker on the bottom.)
Action 52  Transparent label, Rev A green PCB version (which I probably already had)
Solomon's Key  3-screw
Popeye  5-screw CAN version
Gyromite 3-screw CAN code version
Xevious (yellow seal and lettering version.  I didnt even know this existed)
A Nintendo Cassette Boy (looks like a gameboy but ts a walkman)
A Gameboy Bath game (looks like a gameboy but its got soap in it)
A Donkey Kong  vinyl record
Tiny Toons 2 box and manual
Star Trek 25th Anniversary box
Robocop 3 box and manual
TMNT3 manual and a few others I didnt have
A Mario toy from Wendy's
Side Pocket, Championship Pool, Nightmare on Elm Street, Jurassic Park (to replace mine which had label damage)
Some various Nintendo strategy guides and books
About 30 donor carts for making my next batch of Sudoku carts.

Thats about all I can think of.

I dont know about soon. I only have one cart at home.  I still have 60 to make.

This weekend I got the following:
Trog (Complete, even has warranty card and poster)
Zelda 2 (CAN version. CIB)
Fisher Price perfect Fit (CIB)
SMB 3 (CAN loose)
52 in 1 (Famicom with converter)
Felix the Cat (Cart and manual.  I needed both. My cart was in bad shape)
Darkwing Duck manual
About 10 GB games loose, 11 SNES games complete, 3 classic gameboys (I hope to be able to make my own Wide boy) and thats about it.

Not exactly a find, but my sister came over today and she saw 2 R.O.B units. She wondered why the arms where different. Turns out one of them have the Stack-Up parts on I've had it for months and i havnt noticed before she said it hehe.

Very nice Speedy.  Incredibly tough box to find for sure.  If you happen to stumble across another one you know where to send it

Over the weekend I spent way too much money on gas.  So from now on, I'm only buying from the forums and ebay.

I did manage to buy:
Loopz (factory sealed)
Pipe Dreams (factory sealed)

I traded some generic SNES sports titles for "Mountain Bike Rally" for SNES.


I got in the mail:
Vegavox
Power Pak Lite
a bunch of boxes and manuals from NGD
a sample for Sudoku (unlicensed concept cart)

Al

I guess this is a find.  When I was going through some stuff  got from NGD in a recent trade, I found out that I already owned some manuals.  LoL. I hadnt entered them into my spreadsheet so I had been actively trying to trade for them.

Luckily I didnt end up with too many dupes.
Even more luckily, I found out I have
Battletoads/Double Dragon

Al

I picked up Kid Klown with Manual today.  I needed the manual.

Nice find Gundam

I used to have that occasionally as well...since then I've gone through my entire collection to catalog it and I keep constant track of my purchases trades to make sure that I don't buy or trade for two of the same item
