Cheapy cheapy cheapy!!!

Bazaars... they are so... bizarre.
Corny jokes aside, I found some cool stuff for only 100 yen each.
Check out this stuff I got!




5 items per customer, 100 yen each. 500 yen for a small bookbag, a suit jacket, a plate, a cd, and a mini grill!!!
I needed a suit jacket, and this one is just fine. Its not as good as the one I forgot at home, but is exponentially cheaper.
The plate? Yeah. I needed a plate. Wish I coulda bought more.
I can use the small bookbag for days I only have one class, or if I'm going on a small trip.
Listening to the CD right now... sounds very... generic. Anyone ever heard of the Japanese singer Anri? Oh well, 100 yen isn't so bad for it... was just looking at the original 3000 yen price on the back...
And the grill. No idea how it works, or even IF it works. Danny is gonna look at it for me.
So yeah, I got cheap stuff. Whee!

EDIT:

HOLY CRAP!


Holy holy holy crap.
LOOK at what I got!
FOR ONLY 3000 YEN!
Thats... around 25 dollars...




Yup. A Sega Saturn. Came with a bunch of free games too!
And, I can play it on that big widescreen TV in the lounge!
After buying that in Musashi Sakai, we went again to Kikijouji and I bought the memory card for 980 yen (about the cost as all the games combined) and a few more games for a grand total of 500 yen.
Here is a list of some of the games I got ... please keep in mind these were all bundled together...
Evangalion
Nights into Dreams
Sakura Taisen (Sakura Wars)
Culdcept
Grandia
Slayers Royal (A (crappy looking!) Slayers game, apparently)
Also, that Langrisser 3 game on the bottom left kinda looks like Growlanser... maybe the same artist. You can't see it from the photo, but it's got a really cool 3-D lenticular cover!
And there were a few other games I can't read or recognize...
Grand total: 3500 yen: System plus 15 games... then 980 yen for memory card... which will hopefully work
I've never even had a Saturn before...
I know I have a couple classics in here, such as Nights. Your input would be great, I would like to know about any other Sega Saturn classics I should get my hands on!
I bought the Saturn at this manga/video game store in Musashi Sakai. They have cheap games and manga there... I bought the Japanese first 5 volumes of Excel Saga for only 400 yen! There was tons of other manga in there... I could barely find anything!
Searching for souveniers is hard... I'm trying to find things my friends know about. I DID find these Lupin III keychains for my parents though. They didn't have Lupin and Jigen, just Fujiko and Goemon.

Wait.

Wait. Wait.

How am I gonna get all this back to America???

Oh well.
I think I saw Sould Calibur at the store, but I was pressed for time and had to go. I read in an EGM or PSM once about a beautiful 2-D fully drawn action game, but I forgot its name. I'm also on the lookout for Record of Lodoss War...
I'll let you know how the Saturn turns out! Please recomend any games I should get! I could probably find them here for less than 500 yen!!!
