Guess that I wasn't the only one that didn't worked yesterday because this month thread wasn't created 

[telly]

Quick question, is there a reason why we have a new thread started every month? Why not just have a general "pickups" thread?

At this point it's sort of a tradition. I kind of like keeping them separate since it's easy to find specific months when stuff was picked up.

I think a general thread would get too bloated and harder to follow or keep interest in over time. Besides, it's not like the monthly thread are really clogging up the forum.

Anyhoo, got a few new games to start the month:

Game Boy:
The Lion King

Wii U:
Splatoon

360:
Duck Dynasty
Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (replacing a copy that was borrowed by a friend, but lost)

One:
Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers
Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4
Spyro: Reignited Trilogy
Transformers Devastation

[bunnybear]

DS
Bleach: Blade of Fate
Feel the Magic XX/XY
Final Fantasy IV
Henry Hatsworth
WarioWare: D.I.Y.

3DS
Persona Q Premium Edition

Switch
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

PS2
Maximo and the Army of Zin

PS Vita
Ys Origins

Scored these tonight for about half of what they sell for on ebay. I've wanted the FF7 figures for a long, long time, and this was actually the first time I'd ever seen them in person. The employee at the store I bought them said they had the Cloud Motorcycle statue, but it sold a day or two earlier, which was a bummer. Regardless I'm super happy to finally add these

[mark1982]

I was about to leave when he says I only knows where some Gamecube games where. I stop and tell him to please bring them out. He comes back out with a large box and I open it and see its full of Gamecube games and PS3 games. 
I ask what he wants for the games and he says $2 a piece. I bought all the Gamecube games but passed on PS3 because they where all junk. All games where like new in great shape. Here's all the games I got.

I see a bag with a box sticking out of it. The box had Funcoland written on it. This got my attention and I look inside and see two NES systems and a bunch of games. I ask about it and she tells me one of the systems don't work and the other see wasn't sure. I ask a price and she says $15. Games and controllers alone are worth over that.

Now onto the Garage Sale finds...

First this week was slow for sales in my area, it was cold and rainy. I was out and hitting as many as I could but wasn't finding much then I find an ultimate score.

First I find a Supa Boy (portable SNES) at a sale for $10.

Then after much of nothing I stop at a sale advertising "Video Game Consoles" They had a SNES in box but wanted $100 for it. 
They had a Xbox 360 and a bunch of scrap games, nothing worth buying for me.
This guy was a Collector and knew values for the most part.
I ask if he had anything else video game and the guy points and says "I have that portable computer over there." I look thinking I was going to see a laptop but saw a huge metal box with a handle. Wasn't sure what exactly I was looking at, I walked over and took a closer look and almost S**t my pants.  It was a Commodore SX-64. 
This is the first "portable" computer ever made. (the thing weighs close to 25 pounds) I ask a price but he tells me he's not sure what it's worth and he starts looking it up on Ebay. (oh crap) He finds one selling for $300. I look it up and see what he found was an open bid that hasn't ended yet, there was also one with a buy it now for $700 he didn't see. I ask if I can test it out and he's fine with that and we plug it in. He had one game to go with it and a Joystick. I boot it up and the game runs great. I tested it out and everything worked fine.
After a little talking he agreed to take $160 for the system and $20 for the game and joystick. I don't think I'll ever have another chance at this piece of computer/gaming history again in this great of shape for any cheaper so I had to get it.
The one game it had was...
- H.E.R.O.

So after many hours of finding next to nothing, I find one of the rarest computer/gaming systems. When this first came out it cost close to $1000.00 in the early 80s. It sold poorly and only under 10,000 where ever sold. It was discontinued after a year on the market.
So now I can take my Commodore 64 on the go. lol
