Got any other recommendations? I was thinking of getting Alien Hominid and Gunstar Super Heroes come payday. Astro Boy also looks great, and Dragonball Advance Adventure (you can see my preferred game styles obviously).
You have good taste in games. All of those that you have named are definitely worth picking up.
Personally, I would recommend any of the Mega Man Zero games from 2 to 4, and Golden Sun: The Lost Age (the second Golden Sun title), if you can find them. Wario Ware: Minigame Mania is a must-have for insane fun in short bursts, although I cannot be held accountable for the game making you chuckle at your GBA on the bus. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is good if you don't already own the SNES version, and I suppose it goes without saying that The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is also well worth checking out. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land is a great fun though somewhat short title that is potentially deserving of a place in your collection. If you happen to like puzzling platformers try to find Klonoa: Empire of Dreams, too. Last of all, keep an eye on the twin packs of games that are currently being released at a steady rate - some of them represent good opportunities to pick up two previously out of print games for the same price as, or less than, one of them alone would originally have cost. (A good way to keep tabs on them would be to check
http://www.game.net from time to time).
A word of warning, though, in case you were considering it: Try to avoid buying Game Boy Advance games over eBay, as nowadays there seem to be large numbers of counterfeits with dud save-batteries and they seem to outnumber the genuine copies of games at times.
I hope a few of these suggestions are helpful in some way.
Also, just so you are aware, Gunstar Super Heroes has been renamed to "Gunstar Future Heroes" for the European market, in case you get any funny looks whilst asking for it under its original name.
And don't forget - should you ever get a Nintendo DS all of your GBA games will still be playable on that as well.
