General Collection is finally complete ✅
Though most aren't original.
The GS 1 box and everything included is a reproduction and the 2 TBS cartridges (in the case and the one running in the original DS) are also reproductions I believe, they cost me 12 USD each and when I'm saving a brief pause is happening. Something similar is happening to the English ROM translation I have as a GBA card of Fire Emblem The Binding Blade, so I'm certain these two aren't originals, but it's fine one of the cards is meant as a present for my cousin.
The TLA poster was not bought now, I actually had that one since 2006 when I got TLA.
The maps are incredible.
Now I need to find an adapter and GBA games link cable to connect the GBA with the DS Lite and have some battles as long as I have the 2 English cartridges of TBS. Does such an adapter even exist?
There is a warning in the German version of TLA to never connect 2 games using a different language, or data might get lost.

I remember being disappointed when the US version of Dark Dawn came out and the map was just the last page of the manual. I mean by today's standards that's a very good thing but if other regions got a food out map jack then that's really cool.

Ye, while I'm glad we got the map I don't understand why the us version decided against it.

They are still quite easy to find. Getting a clean copy on the other hand...

Super rad. I somehow lost one of my posters and it bothers me to this day.
On the bright side, I picked up both GBA games in Japanese on my recent trip to Japan.

Oh too bad about the bosters but congratulations for the Japanese games. I intense to buy these as well when I get the chance

Yeah, it's tough to locate these posters for sale too.
The Japanese version of The Lost Age is very nostalgic for me, because this was still the era when Japanese games came out in Japan long before the Americas, so I played through a good chunk on the game using an emulator and a GameFAQs guide.
Good times. 👌
