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. :D
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!  :D 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. :)

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!   ;D

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 :D

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. :D
