I thought I'd share all my pickups I got in one year again.
Going through all the pictures I'm always surprised just how much I get in one year.
Many new game consoles where added to my collection and I get my first arcade cabinets this year.
There's a lot of pic's so enjoy this recap of all my pic ups in 2016.
A fellow collector sold me this Atari Computer for cheap and I finally got Magic Girl which I pre-ordered 2 years ago.
Finally was able to find a copy of Rodland and thank god I picked up Devils Third at the time.
This was that day I found a stack of CIB games at my local used game store for the price of a loose game.
A rare Japanese game console entered my collection and many cool homebrews.
2 more rare and obscure consoles entered my collection, (still love that Wondermega) and this is when I found Streets of Rage 2 and Castlevania Bloodlines for only $2 at a thrift store. Also got the last Dreamcast game I needed to complete my collection.
So glad I pre-ordered Fire Emblem Special Edition and got the first of the Limited Run Games.
Finally broke down and bought a Retron 5, why? because it was on sale for $80. Still never used the thing. lol
Thrift store fines galore, the day I found a stack of Dreamcast games at a thrift store for $2 a piece. Also picked up a ROB box from a local game store. It's in rough shape but I still love displaying it in my game room.
The same week I find even more great games at that same thrift store.
MORE games I picked up that day from that same thrift store. I have NEVER found so much games fro one thrift store in my life.
Some random pick ups. A few NIS collector's editions.
The cool Anniversary Pokemon 3DS and the Hitman Collector's Edition. This game never did get a Physical Release.
Found a Gizmondo for cheap so I could have both versions. I kinda regret buying all the Animal Crossing Amiibos.
When I bought 150 Super Famicom game lot for $100.
More to the Super Famicom Lot, I'm thinking of trying this again in the future.
Last of the Super Famicom lot, even though many of the games where not in the best shape, can't beat under a dollar a game.
That neon is hanging in my game room and those weird Japanese porn games. I love the reactions I get when people see the cover to the one game. Yet the game itself is almost impossible to play. (maybe that's a good thing) lol
Another one of those weird Japanese porn games and I finally find a Giant Yoshi Amiibo. lol
The first finds from a garage sale, I Wii U box full of Nintendo toys. lol Also picked up a silver Gameboy Advance player.

Another great garage sale haul. A cool SNES lot for cheap, but that N64 lot was one of the best I found this year.

I pay her and find Chrono Trigger, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Contra Hard Corps and Splatterhouse 3 just to name a few. Also got a NES lot that I again had to beat a reseller too and thanks to my long arms I got it.
Some cool deals, Limited run games and some cool Collector's editions.
