I’ve strayed a bit into retro gaming lately, more as a nostalgia and “best games on X console” thing. If you’re not collecting mint or complete and perfect boxes, etc then the costs aren’t too bad. And if like me restoring/cleaning is part of the fun then some things can be found quite cheap.
That said, many titles command stupid prices... and things do break sometimes: old consoles with disc readers love to just up and die. Cartridge systems are more solid but be prepared to pay anywhere from $10 to $60 for loose SNES or Nintendo carts for them.

I’ve understood and even kind of defended past Hasbro price raising but this $10 hike especially on deluxes has broken me. So weird to stare at a full line I’d like to own in WalMart and just walk away. So far from Seige, a line I want most of, I’ve only gotten Optimus and Megs with a stacked 25% and 15% off deal from TRU (making them $25 each).
