I'm glad the image name is area.jpg, because Area 51 is clearly the best game in the picture. Best arcade lightgun shooter, best home port.

Why is it worth it? What do they do that makes them worth the price of actual games? For that matter, will you be opening and using them, or just staring at them in their package like a collectard caught up in another whirlwind fad before it all eventually crashes? What factors are at play to decide the measure of worth of these things, outside of just scalper demands? I only ask this because I have seen people go crazy town over Skylanders, paying scalper prices for that shit too, then not being able to sell it for pennies on the dollar afterwards when they come to their senses, too little too late.

^^  he's right.  ^^
learn from beanie babies. 
same. exact. bullshit.  i feel bad for anybody falling for this crap. 

[Opethian]

I don't feel bad for said people

[SuperGrafx]

Idk.
The amibo fad seems all to similar to beanie babies and pogs.
That said, there are a few that seem appealing, but I'll be damned if I pay $13 a pop for them
