I have had a good few days:

The Infinity characters were $20
The 3DS games were $25 each
The 3DS XL was $100 off Kijiji and it used to be brand new I think this is a significant improvement over the original 3DS and I have been wanting one since I saw my sister-in-law's

My girlfriend is obsessed with New Leaf right now. She got it for XMAS and has probably put 150+ hours into it since.

I made yet another trip to the local Goodwill and walked out with another Sega MK-2103 power adapter, a complete Sega Menacer light gun, Altered Beast for SMS CIB, Outrun for SMS CIB, 2 Atari/SMS/Genesis controller extensions and a 3-button turbo controller.

EDIT: I forgot about the Game Genie for Genesis.

Btw, in case you get free, this Saturday is Skylander day at Gamestop. Here are the promotions : First 25 people get a free poster, spend $20 on Swap force stuff and get one of the Giant sidekicks for free, $20 off the starter pack (including the dark one), 50% off swap force accessories.

We actually went this morning. We got the poster (was a pretty generic poster though) and we got 2 of the newest figures (Dune Bug and normal Smolderdash) and got the Eye Small sidekick plus a couple of coloring pages for them. Was definitely more kid friendly than the first Skylander day.

I'm out trash digging today. So far all I've found is Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance on GC for $2. 

It's a nice day here. It makes me wish for all the spring cleaning that will happen in a few months. Bring on the yard sales!

I hope to be able to hit up yard sales at least twice a month this year, I'm looking forward to it!

Well, today was weird.

I went to go pay our property tax today and after that was done, I went to a local mall to go get some groceries (there's a supermarket store there). I dropped by to check out their DVD selection since they sometimes have really cheap movies there. Well, there was a stand with a bunch of random budget CDs in there but it also said "Video interactive"... so I got close and what did I find?

VIDEO GAMES.



Their price was $26 pesos (about $2 USD) but the store also had a 30% off promo on most DVDs. And the discount stacked on top. So I got four budget FPS games, PUBLISHED AND PRINTED IN MEXICO, for $20 pesos each. That's like six bucks and a half! They also had a few different two packs, but they were "casual" (hidden object) games so I left 'em behind since I didn't have that much money on me then. I -might- go back for them, just because of the novelty of them being printed in Mexico! (Come on, you guys know I collect weird stuff like that. Remember my obsession with 10 peso DVDs from last year? I still need to go get the last ones I still don't own... :p)

Edit:
Oh yeah, they also had Transformers DVDs! The older show? They had the same price, but they only had four or five episodes per DVD, and they're dubbed to Spanish so I said nah. Someone's selling a pack with all six volumes over here, so they were sold in a box at one point... somewhere.

Wow. .  .umm definitely not something I ever thought I'd find in the wild in million years.





This isn't just your normal, run of the mill PS2 console. This is an NTSC-J console, or in other words a Japanese PS2. I have wanted one of these so, so, so badly for such a long time, however these things fetch insane prices online. Not only was this one boxed, but it is actually brand new. I felt a little guilty opening it when I brought it home, but consoles were not meant to be stared at, they are meant to be played. But the best part is I only paid $60 for this thing. I have been scouring the internet for import PS2 games since buying this this morning. As if I needed another group of games to collect for lol. Very excited to have one of these !

Nice pickup bikingjahuty! That's a great price for pretty much any brand new system. Do you have any games in particular that you are going to get?

Lol I have a ton of games in mind, only problem is finding them for a decent price! I have been looking online all day since finding the PS2 for good deals on the games I want, and sadly I haven't found much. I was so close to bidding on a copy of Ibara this afternoon, but it was at $120, a little out of my price range at the moment for a single game. The two games I want the most are Mushihimesama and Sega Ages 2500 Treasure Box. Haven't been able to find then for under $45 so far.

Picked up Need for Speed: Rivals today for the PS4. Also just bought Code of Princess off the e'shop

First off, just want to say how badly I miss this community, I used to spend so much time in here on these forums and my last year has gotten continually busier, in a very good way, but it has left my vgcollect time at an all time low. I still use it as my go to collection tracker though. So here's my latest neat addition, hope you all have a great 2014!
