January 2016 Pickups and Finds

[Flashback2012]

New Year...new Pickups!     

I got dragged out to breakfast/lunch this morning after only 4 hours of sleep ( ) and afterwards we hit up Target. Nothing decent clearance wise but I found a stray pack of Disney Infinity 2.0 Power Discs (Marvel) on a shelf and decided to scan them. They scanned at $1.50/pack. I moseyed over to the Infinity section and found 11 more packs and grabbed them all. I had 8 packs worth of unique discs and 4 packs worth of doubles. 

Most places are closed today so that limits our ability to gallivant around (and the places that are open have Sunday hours  ).

I have a bunch of games to add to this thread when they all arrive in the mail (thanks to some Christmas cash!).

But I had to share this guy, separately, just because it's such a cool little find.

Neat little promotional comic that's perfect for a retro-gamer and comic collector like myself. Lots of ads for other Nintendo-themed comics too like Captain N and Legend of Zelda.

 It's well made. It feels like a Baxter edition from the 80s.

That's a pretty swell find!

Awesome find. So it's on that paper like the original jumbo G.I. JOE Treasury Editions?  Sweet.

Picked up a copy of Coolboarders for the PlayStation, complete. Also bought a PlayStation music CD, which is my second one. Also bought a ton of old Game Informers dirt cheap. Picked up a run of #104 through #140, just missing about six random issues scattered through that.

No, not oversized (though it is slightly larger than your normal modern comic, more like a Silver Age issue). Baxter editions were an experiment comics did in the early 80s when Direct Edition was coming out. It was higher-quality paper-stock, higher-quality covers, and more vibrant colors and ink. It's a shame they didn't stick with it. But people liked their comics cheaper, rather than higher-quality, so it only really stuck around for a few years.

This is feels very similar to that, but was in the early 90s.
