Funny you should say that, I ordered a game from lukiegames which was expensive aswell around 35$ and used the budget shipping option. It was shipped a few days after yours and still haven't seen it. Usually games from the US for me anyway arrive in under 8 days including weekends. You used the budget shipping option too?
Yeah I did. I've ordered tonnes from him before so trust him. Hopefully it's just An Post holding things up.

Nope. Never played them. When Super Metroid was released, I remember Super Play gave it 96%, or something like that. Can I buy the NTSC-J copy and play it or is it text heavy in places or decision making sequences?
Anyway, I have to go take some photos of today's GET! action. Here's a little taster for you. No SHMUPS action today....BUT...one of these items is MEGA.*
*well, in my humble opinion it is. I bet Anthony Julius Williamson T-Bone Xavier III 76 a colossal €807 Jillion today and he never guessed what it was.

OK, here is todays GET! action. I received:
Suzuka 8 Hours [NTSC-J, Super Famicom, CIB]
Not an amazing game by any means, but just look at that cover art! I personally think it's one of the best pieces of box art EVER. That's the main reason I bought this game, plus it's an average racer but good enough to pass the time.
What really surprised me is the condition of this game. The box is virtually flawless, the manual and RC-OCD is crisp and clean. The manual has probably never been opened before. It even has a weird NAMCOT warranty card in it (WC-OCD? :pac:).
But forget all that, just look again at the cover art! It's utterly stunning and truly captures the essence of a racing game. LOVE IT!
Bing! Bing! Bingo [NTSC-J, Super Famicom, CIB]
The pick of today's GET! action for me. I've wanted to own this game since I first played it in 1993. Another box that's amazingly almost in mint condition too. Anyway, this is one of my favourite games of all-time. If you haven't played this bizarre bingo game yet, do yourself a favour and PLAY IT! It's absolutely BRILLIANT!
Game Center CX: Companion Book [Japanese Text]
No obi unfortunately, although it has the dust sleeve. I don't think this shipped with an obi anyway according to my research.
This is a hybrid book of sorts. On the one half it takes you through all the video games played on the show, divided by publisher (Taito, Sega, Konami etc) and the other segment of the book is full of drawings and sketches by the staff (or AD's) and interviews and so on.
Very cool book indeed. I like it a lot. Good to practise my Japanese skills with too!

I need this item in my life immediately.
Was there an arcade version of this? Have vague recollections of hearing the title being shouted at me from an arcade machine down in Trabolgan in the 90s0 -
Here's a collection I've had complete for a while now, but it's been spread around different storage spots. First time I've managed to get them all in one place - hurrah!!!
I feckin love these boxes and labels (thans again Pyong! I still have plenty more to put together, it's kinda fun in a geeky way). In my infinite wisdom, I didn't order a label for Metal Slug 5. It's in there though, I swear!

@Armand Van Halen: There was indeed an arcade version of Suzuka 8 Hours. The Super Famicom version is alright, just a mode 7 racer really. I like it though, amazing that folk concur that the cover art is awesome. Its up there with the Mega CD version of Night Striker as one of my all time favourite pieces of game art.
@Pantrylad: Lovely collection! Glad you like the neominiboxes! Though your collection is still missing one game!
@Sera: I don't think the book has an obi strip. I saw an episode of the show recently where they were at a shop in Akihabara and saw the book on display and it had no obi...?
Bing! Bing! Bingo is awesome isn't it? My favourite mini game is the Pilotwings-style parachute level.
@JuliusWilliamson76: I know! 0 -

I may have to get that guy's contact details from you to order a few more miniboxes and labels, great little yolks so they are.
As for one game - you are wrong sir! That's every Neo Geo MVS Metal Slug game there is. Unless there is some Metal Slug Mushi Mushi Futari Black Label DX Gaiden version with success letter I don't know about?
Other than that, all I need now is Metal Slug 6 for the Atomiswave and Metal Slug 7 for the DS...then I think that's them all? (excluding the millions of ports that is)0 -

Well my game from Lukie games arrived, a bit late but arrived eventually. I got this:
I know it's not the best game in the world but like all Warp games I'm expecting something really flawed and interesting.
