      Bookoff does have 90% their hard goods items wrapped in plastic, the box is original and it's in good shape, but the plastic is not original (or very rarely so), as Bookoff adds plastic to everything that can be plasticized.

      @@negakurai, I managed to trade the Super Star Wars Trilogy for my SNES/NSFC version of Chrono Trigger. I also got a copy of the PS2 port of Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 at a thrift store in my country of the USA (it is a retroactive side story of the HBO cable miniseries that is called Band of Brothers, and that it is a series of parallel, but intertwining, events, but from two different perspectives from the same military unit, albeit under different military companies, if you are wondering), plus I got plenty of SNES/NSFC, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, N64, PS1, and PS2 video games for good prices at a flea market for years, and a few PS2 titles at a now defunct retro video game store. The best actual retail store game that I got was a then brand new copy of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3/Sparking! METEOR for the PS2. I got quite a few good PS2 titles at retro video game stores and, yes, at GameStop, but before they went completely to seed.

    My childhood just reached out from the past to choke me. What I'd give to be back in Japan for a few days just to browse this store & stay at an inn. (There's gotta be some Super Robot Wars in there. I've been missing those a lot.) I'm amazed at how organized and neat everything is. It doesn't feel like a thrift store. Thank you for sharing your memories, Mrs Eats!

    The jacket that you said may come back in style in your lifetime is currently already a hit item in Canada. People buy them cheap at thrift stores to resell online or at vintage stores for a nice profit. Some big name stores also have new jackets in their speing collection that are designed ro look like those from the '80s. The Cheech and Chong item made me laugh. My parents would not allow that movie in our house, haha.

    Yeah that biohazard two cartridge even here in the states is pretty hard to get. I have one and the big problem with those is a lot of times when you find them the safe function on the cartridge requires a small battery inside the cartridge and a lot of times the battery if it gets left in the cartridge it can damage the cartridge

    Last year I took my kids to Hobby-off and they bought so many Demon Slayer gachapon for themselves and their friends / cousins!
