Nice buys. I have all of them, except Metal Gear, which isn't my cup of tea. But I know it's a nice game for fans.
I bought these two this month. I was reading an article about how good 'Disney Sports Soccer' is, so I decided to add it to my collection. Burnout 2 is a classic game, so I decided to finally buy the GC version to go alongside copies for the PS2 & Xbox. I expect the GC version to look really nice through Component.
So I now have around 40 GameCube games that I felt needed to be in my collection. I don't think I'll be buying many more.
I bought a spare 3.3v Japanese Dreamcast to put a GDEMU inside. It's in good cosmetic condition and works perfectly, so I'm happy with it. The only problem is - I had to pay £22 charges for a $25(clearly stated on the package) item, so I will have to complain about that.

They lowered the tax free limit from £18 to £15, so with the crappy exchange rate against the dollar at the moment $25 would be over that then Royal Mail charge their ridiculous £8 'admin' fee.. crooks
[MENTION=2924]Leon Retro[/MENTION] That’s well unlucky mate, I can imagine how pissed off you must be. I don’t think I’ve ever had a Japanese seller on eBay mark a package as anything other than gift... not sure why this guy decided to screw you over on a cheap Dreamcast.
VAT is charged against both the value of the item AND the cost of the postage... yeah, exactly... ****ing con. And it’s Royal Mail who charge £8 for handling, and Parcelforce who is more...
I have heard that said before not entirely sure thats true though as when i get stuff sent from japan via tenso i usually consolidate my parcels so the shipping does get quite expensive, sometimes my shipping cost alone is £30+ and yet not a single parcel has ever been hit with import tax if it was calculated on postage cost as well, all my parcels would be getting hit for sure. Not a single one from tenso has ever been hit and im talking like 40+ parcels.
Not sure if this counts as retro or not but I have just bit the bullet and ordered a Super NT (SF version). I have to say I haven't been this excited getting a console in quite a while. Just need to get an SD2SNES cart and I think I am all set for the rest of the year.

What is the SD2SNES for? You can load ROMs on the Super Nt lol
