This is the actual worst. I try to find a box for anything over $40. It's not like it even really adds to the shipping cost.

Back when I was buying them, people would ship CIB NES boxes in bubble mailers fairly regularly. Alarming, but everything came in okay so whatever.

I've had similar happen. Guessing you got a Japanese controller if it's white. Smart as they are much cheaper and functionally identical.

I had a much smaller Saturn controller I believe. This one looks much better. The only thing just from looking at it is that the dpad looks a little sunken in, do you ever have any problems with that or does it still stick out far enough for you?

Everything about it feels great to me. I like it much better than model 2, which is this

19-Oct-2017(#47)Since we were discussing shipping today, I received an Amiibo from BB today literally stuffed into a small bubble mailer. Good thing I got this knowing I would be opening/using it.
I waiting to get all of the Zelda Amiibo before I start to play BOTW. I'll probably start after the new Amiibo get released next month. I haven't read about the game in fear of spoilers, are those new Amiibo characters in the main game or the DLC?

19-Oct-2017(#48)All this saturn talk reminds me of when I had a chance to buy one. It was about the time the original XBOX came out. A friend wanted to sell me his saturn and all games for $20. I don't remember what the games were, there were like 5 disc only games. I rode my bike around to several stores and blockbuster around the city to see if I could still find games for it. I couldn't find any so I chose to pass on buying it.

For 20 bucks? It could have been a gameboy with five random games and I would have bought it as long as it worked.
I did eventually trade my Saturn for some n64 games here because I was basically poor enough to realize I wasn't getting a decent copy of shining force 3 back then any time soon. It's a system I will eventually get again I'm sure as long as my life doesn't fall apart before then. Or if I get into another lopsided relationship I could see it not being any kind of a mutual priority too.

The 4 amiibo being released later are of legendary heroes in the BotW story, and give bonus equipment when used.
Do you still need any of the existing Zelda amiibo? My GS just got a restock, so perhaps I could help.

It was under $8 for me to ship it to you. Maaaaybe if it's going all the way across the country a flat rate would be an okay option.

Nice! (Well unless you wanted a nice perfect cart) what game did you get 15 dollars off of?
Thread Description
. I want to start an effort to get some trades going and to discuss some good games perhaps you never heard of or interested in but want to discover/know more of. For example, I just got intto shmups after years of ignoring the genre and I love to discover new(to me) and rediscover old ones(Sonic Wings comes to mind).
