N64 Analog Stick Repair Kits...genius idea. She'll clean up with this. We'll all need these someday

I've learned the hard way there's a time limit on the lower-middle-class privilege of owning Pokémon games. Now, whether I'm going to play them or not, I buy them anyway because eventually, this happens to them all.

You know what I WOULD pay $60 for? Eleven. For the longest time, I've wanted a little El to put on my computer desk next to Link and Kirby. I did a gasp when I saw these but...despite her prominence on the packaging, she's not among them.

Why are these Pomni and Jax dolls all $60? Way too much. The stickers say "Japan exclusive." Japan got a LOT of TADC exclusives.

Nintendo World Championships Reproduction Cartridge: $300
That's hilarious. Apparently they're now considered to be worth more sealed

It's time to compare prices again. It wasn't too long ago that these Super Mario Odyssey amiibos were being cleared out for $10 apiece.

"Super Smash Video Games" lives up to its name. There was no hour of the day in which you DIDN'T have to stand in a line just to get in, and then weave through the cramped aisles like a rat in a maze.

I never knew there was a lenticular version of the Family Guy Vol. 3 cover, did you?

Not only that, there are a lot more booths in the con itself with VHS, DVD and Blu-Rays. Perhaps there's a surging collector's market for physical media overall. If I wanted the entire run of Dragon Ball Super on Blu I could have had it today.

The VHS buy-and-trade area gets bigger every year. No, they don't have pre-recorded WOC stuff. If they did, I'd probably be spending my entire budget in this room.

I attended two panels today, one with former Sonic voice actors and one with Grant Kirkhope. I learned Grant can speak very fast. He had a lot of stories to cram into 45 minutes.

It's cool that there's a tribute to The Crimson Diamond here. That's not a Sierra game, but it is one in spirit.

Al Lowe was also in the room at the time, quite loudly narrating a playthrough of one of his embarrassing point-and-clicks about a lecherous munchkin.

While I was snapping these photos, Pat Contri was right behind me by chance. When he got to Mystery House, he said "That's what I want to get. I want to get that next." The woman standing next to him said "Lovely, so that can be my dowry."

This year's museum is devoted to the Sierra library of games, with a space in the corner for the XBox's anniversary. It's a testament to how awesome Ken and Roberta are that their efforts make Microsoft's look puny.

When I first glanced at this I thought "A PS5 dev unit for $500? That's less than the console goes for!" But I mistook a 3 for a dollar sign. It's actually $3500, which COULD be a bargain for a regular PS5 eventually.

Is it offensive to cut up old 35mm film reels and sell them two frames at a time like this? Theaters threw them out all the time back in the day. But I know there are collectors of those reels.

This year some guy is selling pay phones! I guess there's a market? He has a wide variety that even includes a British phone booth.
