I swung by Toys R Us after work hoping for a cheap Vita case in their clearance section for my wife's new Vita I managed to get for her.  No luck - but they have dropped green/blue tagged clearance items down to 70% off, so I got the last Lara Croft figure for $12 and Dead Rising: Off The Record for $6.  My Mugen Souls Z LE also came in the mail today (due to my last-minute waffling I didn't get my order in early enough to get mine with everyone else).

How are you guys adding pictures?

I use tinypic. You don't need an account there to upload a picture quickly.

I use flickr.  They give you 1tb of storage for free and nice options like the ability to post a smaller size pic that links to a bigger one, etc.

Risk $3
Shadowgate $7

Nice      I'm glad it came safely and it looks nice with your collection.  Now give me some feedback so I can stay at 100 percent!

Scooped up another set of games for my racing/automotive collection and they are all imports!

Never heard of this Zero 4 Champ series before and was intrigued by the images of real cars in it mixed with anime characters etc. Found someone selling the complete Super Famicom and Saturn games but didn't want to do shipping for so few/small/cheap items so I browsed his ebay store and found JP versions of Gran Turismo 1, 2, and 3 for cheap. My favorite driving series!

Cool stuff.

So I bought a video card at Tiger Direct. According to the video card manufacturer, I was supposed to get a Radeon Rewards coupon which would entitle me to two free games. Tiger did not include the coupon in the shipment box and it wasn't in the card's box either. I contacted Tiger and they told me to contact XFX. So I did.

The XFX rep that handled my case was a bit ticked off - apparently I was entitled to a card but Tiger did not send me one, so he asked me to contact them. I did. They replied once then proceeded to ignore me. The rep told me he'd take care of things, but Tiger kept ignoring him.

Two days ago I get an email from the rep, he says that he contacted AMD directly and got me a code. I expected to get a Silver code (what I was supposed to get) but he sent me a GOLD code, which gave me the choice of three games. So I went with:

Deus Ex Human Revolution: Director's Cut
PayDay 2
Murdered: Soul Suspect (THIS HASN'T EVEN BEEN RELEASED IT'S A $50 GAME)

I've also grabbed some other games from bundles / Steam Greenlight / online sales:

Full Bore
100% Orange Juice
Race the Sun
Deus Ex: The Fall
Paper Sorcerer

And finally, I picked up these two items yesterday for $1 each:

The Madness of Roland (PC / Mac)
Quest For Glory V OST / Demo CD

How are you guys adding pictures?

You have to first host your pictures somewhere (like tinypic or flickr, as mentioned), then you take its URL (the link to it). When you write your post, click the icon with a Mona Lisa look (right under the italic I), and paste the URL in there. It will look like this, but without spaces in the brackets: [ img]paste URL here[ /img]

Found this beauty yesterday for $13 at a thrift store.



It's a 36inch CRT.

It was made by Technicolor so the color is fantastic out of the box.

It has side and back inputs for composite and svideo.

The stereo speakers are really good and are powered by built-in amps.

The menu includes Dbx noise reduction, bass/treble,and input renaming.

Most importantly, light gun games play great!

Full Specs here:

In 1998 this was a $1,100 tv.

I can comment on some of the skylanders. First I see Gill runt which is one of the sidekicks. They definitely have value. Second is Scarlet Ninjini which was (I think) the last variant of the Giants released. Wham shell which is the last released Spyro released and still one of the more expensive characters.
