Ahh, more Activision games ...
Untitled
Chopper Command (Atari 2600), blue label variant
Enduro (Atari 2600), blue label variant

Just 26 total Activision Atari 2600 carts left (including variant-label versions) 'till completion ...

Also, today I went Game Chasin' TM, and hit up an antiques store that I discovered about a half-hour away. Slim pickings on the gaming front (but they did have some cool stuff, including a TurboGrafx16 that I was very tempted to get), but I did pick up:
Untitled
Popeye (NES) with Nintendo-branded sleeve
Untitled
Green Game Boy Pocket

And on the non-gaming front, this little purchase that I'm sure @ogo79 will recognize immediately:
Untitled
Presto the Magician from the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon! I didn't even know they made these. There was also a Bobby the Barbarian, but in poor condition so I passed on it.

And finally (not pictured), I also snagged two Pink Floyd LPs (hail vinyl!) in great condition, "The Wall" and "The Final Cut" (for the record - pun intended - Floyd is my second favorite band of all-time, right after The Beatles).

She-Ra is awesome. If you believe otherwise, you are clearly wrong.

@Ryno The Land Before Time! What a beautiful franchies of animated films! I love that series with Denver: The Last Dinosaur! ♥ But I prefer only the first, the second, the third, the fourth, the five, the sixth, the seventh, the eighth, the ninth and the tenth of The Land Before Time.

I hope this doesn't sound but you are the only person I have heard that has said that they liked the "other" Land Before Time movies. Foe me I can just only watch the first one. The other hundred we just bad.

@Tasuki - he's probably being facetious and pulling our leg. But if he isn't, I'd be curious to know why he feels about the way he does about the twelve DTV sequels? I'm not saying it's wrong if he does like them, it's his opinion, but even so one cannot help but wonder why?

Grabbed myself Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Supposedly its the game that makes the slog that is the first Golden Sun worth it. Hopefully I'll get to iot some time this decade...

What a coincidence, I just got Golden Sun: The Lost Age as well

I also picked up the first Golden Sun, Sword of Mana, Frogger's Adventures 2, and a couple of DS games.

@CapnPancakes Sword of Mana! Best Action RPG of GBA! Very good choice.

I dunno, I didn't think Sword of Mana was that good. For a redux of the first Sword of Mana, it felt like a step down in every way except story, and even then the story wasn't as good as some other games on the GBA, such as Swordcraft Story. I'd personally keep my expectations for it low, IMO.

Got it, though I'm waiting to see if I can attempt to get my friend to play a game sometime.

I ordered some game called Super Variable Geo "new" from amazon from a Japanese seller. The game is probably a crappy fighting game but it has one of the most squandered-potential game titles (if anyone is thinking what I am) I couldn't resist based on that alone.

Alright, just got me some Barrel Rolling action with the original Starfox on the Super Famicom:

I also nabbed three LCD games that were previously released as McDonalds Happy Meal toys two years ago at a Japan surplus outlet. Not sure what series the characters are from, but if anyone recognizes them, I'd like to know what they are:

I don't think I'm interested in selling, sorry. (I see the same seller has another copy for $71 and shipping. I'd link in a PM but I'm not seeing such a feature on this forum.)
For reference, the Japanese title is 美食戦隊 薔薇野郎.
I did also order Minna no Tabou no Nakayoshi Daisakusen loose for Famicom.
That's like the third Sanrio Famicom game I have. Because I admit they make some decent simple gameplay. I do not care about the characters.
(this one is two minigames on one cart: one is memory-matching but with enemies and walls and the other is like Yoshi's Cookie but more evil)
And also Popeye for the Famicom. Not Popeye's English but regular Popeye that I could get on the NES if I paid a few bucks more.

This week I got a whole mess of games:
Untitled
Kung-Fu Master (Atari 2600) — Complete in box and basically mint, another rare Activision cart GET!
Mario Bros. (Atari 2600) — this port is fascinating.
Batman (GB)
Star Wars (GB)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan (GB)
The Battle of Olympus (NES)
Spider-Man 2 (GameCube)
and an insert for E.T. to get on of my boxed copies closer to completion.

Okay, if you know the name then the site I got it from was rakuten.
Sorry I'm late in responding. PC got some malware, I hope it's gone now.
(new PS3 not wanting to login to PSN. Tried to log in on Media-Go on my PC to see if I could. No luck and my PC crashed. But I think AND REALLY hope that wasn't the source. )

I decided to take a chance on two series I've been interested in, so I bought the first two Mega Man Battle Network games along with Advance Wars 1 and 2.
