Valkyrie figurine and bomberman' 93 pencil case

Because I love these games.....

Goonies 2 is a great NES game, but Goonies on Famicom is better.  It always was a super cheap game, so if you like part 2 there is no reason to pass up on part 1.

Interesting story....I picked up Goonies 1 for my Twin Fami at MGC this year. I always kinda wanted the game but wasn't prepared for the unexpected memories that came flooding back. Having thought I had never played the game before previously (only Goonies 2) I started to remember playing Goonies 1 on a Playchoice 10 at a local grocery store in the mid 80s. We would go there every morning before school for donuts with my mom and I never failed to bug her for quarters so I could play Metroid and...this game apparently. For years I've known that Goonies 1 only saw release in the arcades but I never put 2 and 2 together. I just assumed that it was Goonies 2 I was remembering. ...Such a nice reunion.

Goonies one was also on nintendo vs for arcades.I remember playing it at a chuck'e'cheese as a kid.I enjoyed the game allot to and disappointed the nes didn't get it.Even today it's still not known why it wasn't released in na for the nes maybe it was a license issue.

it's all parts that need to be slotted together so there are bits that are a bit of a tight squeeze and because it's all plastic some bits almost broke so be a little careful when piecing it together!
It's part of the namco vs capcom games.  None moving parts!

Got it from here same site same seller and I think same price.  It comes in pieces tho and mine don't quite look the same as that as the ear feathers are angled differently.

I was looking at this one too which I think is more suited to the pce

Small hall at a swap meet today:



Glad to pick up some Sega stuff. All everyone is after is anything Nintendo. The PCE game I grabbed is Psycho Chaser; every PCE game I buy is a shot in the dark as I still don't know enough about the library, but for $5 this title looks pretty cool

Small hall at a swap meet today:

I had that last story limited edition box set for the wii but somehow I just didn't like the game.  The british voice acting just didn't suit the style of the characters or mannerisms so I was put off by it.. but then that's just me...

IMO the Wii doesn't have much going for it in general haha. I've been looking for a copy just because I like the box art. I didn't think I'd pick up a LE but a guy had it decently cheap so I grabbed it. It looks like a really nice game at least lol

I've been getting enjoyment out of mediocre RPGs lately so hopefully this won't disappoint.

I am actually playing the wii right now and getting the hell into Harvest Moon Tree of Tranquility.  I can't stop playing it now even though the game has been sitting in storage for years. Somehow I can't stop trying to find ways to make more cash but this is both a chore and stressful yet I cannot stop !

Valkyrie figurine

A while ago I was hoping that there was a Valkyrie action figure but the best I could find was this posable, mostly snap together model. I really like it even though I don't have the skill or supplies to make it look proper.



Comes with some alternate parts, including a blank face and different eye decals:



edit: I see now that this appears to be the same model you were also considering, if it is then it will not look like the picture in the auction after you put it together unless you paint it; the Amazon listing I bought mine from had a picture that looked the same as the one in your link.

This story warms my cockles.

It wasn't until I recently picked up a 150-in-1 NES cart that I realized a Goonies 1 game actually existed. I always thought the NES game was a spiritual sequel to the movie.

When I was a kid I also thought it was the spiritual sequel too.  In hindsight, it was stupid to put the 2 on there in the U.S.
