New SEGA Genesis Pick'n'Mix bundle. I guess this is a good way to pick up any of these you might be missing. Checking which ones you have is a pain in the ass, for those that have forgotten/are dumbasses, they're listed as DLC in the SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics entry on Steam.

 
There's a new Warner Bros Pick & Mix bundle on BS. Better selection than the last several times they've done these kinds of bundles. Anyone interested in splitting this with me? I just need The Force Awakens and can buy up to 2 copies of any games

I'm kinda interested in grabbing the Lego Batman trilogy. That's really all I'd want from the group of games though. If you can find somebody else looking to get one of the other games, I'd be interested in taking part in a split.

EDIT: Thanks Spoder

Every time I see Lego games:

Oh, wow, I really love Batman/Harry Potter/Jurassic Park/Lego Movie!

Oh, wait, it's still a Lego game.

Well that's one thing about LEGO games... if you've played one, you generally know whether or not you're going to like another.

Having said that, I've been playing through LEGO Batman 3. A long time ago, I made the mistake of starting a bunch of them at once and it's taken me a while before I was ready to get going on another.

If you like LEGO games, Batman 3 is very good. It references a lot of the modern DC movies and it has a very diverse cast of characters. For the nostalgic, it even features Adam West and has a few really fun levels themed to the old television show. It's a pretty exceptional mix of old and new. Be warned: you WILL want the Season Pass. In addition to the usual completely unnecessary character skins, it does have quite a few story levels to play. As a package, there's a ton of content.

One thing Batman 3 does that I like very much is this: for characters that have multiple suits with unique abilities, it allows you to switch to the correct one with a single button press, when needed. It makes the game flow much more smoothly.

That Trilogy is a nice deal for what amounts to $3.33.

I'm trying to keep a more open mind about LEGO games. I was playing the LOTR game for a little while, but when I sort-of abandoned my desktop to play on my beefier work laptop, I dropped it. I know this is probably a dumb question, but does anybody know whether I can start from where I left off on my desktop on my laptop if I install it there? Is that something that Steam Cloud does? Anyway, I like that IP but the LEGO Batman 2 game nearly killed any desire I had to play any of these games.

If anybody has a single slot open for a group buy on this one, I could use a copy of Gauntlet.

Yep, Steam Cloud should have your saves.

I had a hard time completing LEGO LOTR. The story part was fine as it's sort of the Cliff's Notes version of the movies, but the open world stuff got tiresome because of the crafting system. Usually I 100% them, but not LOTR.

Thanks, hal. I'll probably jump back into it soon.
 
I played through Lego Jurassic World with my six year old son.  We had fun with it.  Now I know to avoid Lego LoTR so that's a good thing -- almost feels like the older ones are more suited for us since they're likely simpler and aren't mucking up the formula trying to make the 50th Lego game compelling to people who have played them all.

Mind you, I own most of them anyway.

Crafting was tedious, but the main game is one of the better Lego games.

New Dollar bundle today. Terrible games as always, but I was missing 17 of them so I bought it. I made about $2.50 back in steam wallet which I'll spend during the steam sale, so you should be able to profit a bit from the bundle in cards.

Many of them have been bundled or free (or probably all of them have been free if you're madjoki), but if you're missing some it might be worth the buy.

Man, I was all excited until I ran these through Compare2Steam and found out I wasn't missing anything. Not even one.

That's a great deal and a ton of Steam card farming potential for cheap if anyone's missing anything.

They might've all been in pevious BS, Groupees, and DIG bundles. Most of them were in a previous BS Dollar bundle too (that's why this one is "reloaded"), so you may have gotten them from those. I skipped the last dollar bundle, and I've been skipping most poopees bundles for the past year

Wow... that is a pile of hot garbage! It's like a Steam's Greatest Hits: Or, Why we Changed the Card Drop Policy

I'm missing maybe 10-12, but I'm debating whether or not to trade minutes of my life for this steaming heap and maybe a couple of Gabe-bucks.

Yeah, I've skipped almost every Groupees bundle this year as well, they're dead to me. I think I picked up a lot of these from Steamground.com too.

 
Think only Flame in the Flood is a repeat, and I bought Aarklash: Legacy super cheap during a Steam sale a while back for likely $1.99. I've been wanting Speed Runners from Hell and Pang Adventures, so this looks like an easy buy.

I skipped Aarklash at that price because it seemed like a trap. I do have Stronghold Crusader from one of Tony's Amazon bundles.

 
I bought Aarklash as well when it was $2.   Nice game; some interesting characters, RPG, some puzzles and tactics.  Some decent platformers in the bundle as well.  $5 fair price.

 
damn got the Warhammer chess game from the sale or else this would be an instant buy for me.

managed to skip buying Human Fall Flat and the Runner game

 
Only own The Flame in the Flood and SEUM (got for free), so pretty good bundle for me. Aarklash took forever to get bundled.

Great bundle, only one repeat too (The Flame in the Flood). It's about time Aarklash got bundled. I almost bought it during the Summer sale but figured I might as well wait at this point. Patience pays off.  :D/

Got this mainly for SEUM, been wanting to try that for awhile.  Already had Flame and Stronghold so not bad.  HFF looked neat too.  

 
Only game I already owned was Flame in the Flood, which I didn't even know that I owned. Bundle was worth it just to realize what a stupid loser I really am.
