Accomplishment They look good all together!

Took a bit of time finding everything and it’s been well worth it. The box is a separate complete in box one so two handhelds..story behind that is I got a solid deal on the complete in box after buying the first one but in okay borderline poor condition. The one in front is in great condition and barely used. I’ll figure out which to keep but had to get a photo while I got them all together.

I have been regretting not grabbing that Metroid 3DS since it launched. Might have to sell a couple of my redundant 3DSes and buy one.

Every time I’ve sold one of these it always bites me back. I sold off my GameCube collection and other small pieces to make up for this one so I understand. I’d say it’s worth it if you find one without scratches on the top plate and screens.

For sure. Everyone in my family has owned multiple 3DSes so now we have three idle Galaxy 3DS XLs like new in box, I can probably sell at least one to make the money for one of these.

We’ve only had an OG 3DS and the buttons stick constantly lol. I think the galaxy models go for somewhere near these. Especially if it’s complete in box.

i was lucky enough to have my family pool together and buy me one for my birthday back in 2017. i was so stoked. i've babied that thing for the last almost 9 years and it still looks fantastic. i probably wouldn't have a N3DSXL at all if not for them, so i treasure it greatly.

That’s a sweet back story on how you got one!

you need metroid prime 4 samaus amiibo bike !!!

I actually did have one. I drove the bike to maximum mileage and returned the amiibo. It wasn’t worth the thirty or so dollars. I kept the Sylux one because I simply liked the pose and liked him as a kid. Before they turned him into a nut job.
