I havent gotten to update this much lately as of my move ... but I have a few things to mention (pics will eventually come once I get everything in order).

First, I won a Moogle stress ball from a contest on RPGfan.com and it just arrived yesterday morning. Its really cool looking.
Picked up Dark Pit amiibo the day it was released from Best buy, pre-ordered that retro 3 pack amiibo set as well.
Bought Toy Soldiers for the PS4

Also, I mentioned something a little while back that I was in the process of picking up and it arrived a few days ago. I have had a feeler thread out for missing pieces of my SMS collection for months on all the forums I visit. I put up bounties and it worked. I now own the kiosk demo of Transbot which finishes off my SMS demo set. Im super excited to finish this set and cant wait to show it off.

That's really neat, congrats!  I guess completing a set must be a pretty special feeling.

It pays to be a regular at local game stores. Picked the Wii games up B1G1 and Max Payne was $5. Walked out for just over $20 after tax

Yeah it is. Once I get pics of it and submitted, it will be the first completed set on NA/SA.

Sooo envious of the Valkyrie Profile stuff - you'll have to let me know if you see a similar deal again ;P

Will do!  I've been both looking forward to/dreading going after these games.  On one hand, I loved the first and couldn't wait to get it again.  On the other, I dreaded the price for them.  But for the price, getting 1 & 2 in mint condition and the DS and PSP games still sealed....Yeah.  I can do that.

On a side note, I need to really get ahold of my uncle.  He has an Atari 2600 with a few dozen games.  What makes his collection so special is that when he bought the system back in it's heyday, he also picked up X-Man, Custer's Revenge and Beat 'Em & Eat 'Em.  Three pretty rare & valuable titles.  Would love to add all that nostalgic goodness to my collection!

I traded some things for a Walmart gift card, so I went to the local one across the border from me and finally picked up this thing.


They'd had this on clearance for $12 for about two months but they finally lowered the price this week and so I bit on it. Of course, with my luck, it'll end up in a Humble Bundle in a few minutes or in a main one next Tuesday since they just announced a Kickstarter for the sequel.

So I'm not opening this just yet. :p

While I haven't technically got the item yet, I just won an auction for an item that competes a big milestone in one of my console collections. I'll be posting pics when it comes! Very, very excited about it

[davifus]

Chocobo Racing! Im still looking for a rear label for that.

I swear, it might as well have been 2011 today when deals were abundant when hunting for games in the wild! I scored at every place I went looking for games. The highlight is the almost CIB red Wii that ws picked up for $30. God, I miss when hunting used to be this fun. At least I had a day like I used to have again

I've been eyeing this since Gamestop got them in last year, but their price was too rich for my blood. They marked it down on clearance this week to $10, and I got my wife to swing by & pickup the last one in town for me.

My complete SMS kiosk demo set.

Congrats, my brother.  That's huge.

Nice pickup dude. Must have cost you a mint.
