One of the better yard sale days for us, got everything below for $126, both PSPs had ac adaptors and work great. Some nice 3DS games, SNES mini, and stack of Xbox and Wii games including steel books and a CE. A lot of fun to be had with these goodies, the collection is looking very solid!

Visited a nice little retro game shop in Billerica, MA called Boom Boom Games. Games as far back as the 2600 although some of the pricing may be out of whack. The gray box Canyon Bomber goes for $25 without the huge cutout and on Ebay for example. Good selection of gaming magazines and Amiibo.

Went to the local used book store and grabbed a bunch of Conan and S&S books including a couple Thongor the Barbarian books signed by Lin Carter. Thongor was the original hero Marvel went after before “settling” with licensing Conan back in the 70’s. Carter also “finished” some REH Conan stories.

Amazing letter from the July 1980 issue of Mediascene Prevue #41 regarding Empire Strikes Back spoilers. “The mere thought that Luke Skywalker gets maimed… makes fans cringe. We know these to be completely untrue, Star Wars is intended primarily for children…”
