$9.99...just $10 for this gem at the local comic shop today! Holy crap!

The cover is a little loose, but who cares at this price! This will look very nice displayed on top of my graphic novel shelf! (And yes, this is the original, oversized Treasury Edition!)

Nice. 

I always wanted that comic as a kid but I never realized back then that it was in Treasury format (which is about 4x the size of a normal comic book). I did eventually end up getting in a trade called Crossover Classics which also includes the 2nd Superman/Spider-Man pairing, Batman/Hulk and X-Men/Teen Titans. 

The 2nd Spider-Man/Superman is actually the better story of the two, even though it's worth far less. They team-up against Dr. Doom and Parasite.

Managed to add a bit more to my action figure collection:



What amazes me the most is that despite being 22 years old, the battery in that Q figure still works.

Once again (like every April and December) i visited an expo i like to call "The Paradise of OST" since there is a seller inside who sell a LOT of them at a very good price and once again i've come back with a few things in my bag (but sadly no OST from the .hack or Star Ocean series to complete my collection):

DVD
Street Fighter II (the new box for the full series from 1995, i didn't even know they finally released it)

OST
Arc the Lad Generation (OST)
Brain Powerd (OST 2)
Dragon Quest I-II (GAME-002)
Dragon Quest Swords (OST)
Onimusha Buraiden (OST)
Lost Universe (OST)
Lunar Songs 2 (it's from the Lunar Series and that is all i know since i'm not really familiar with it)
Sa.Ga (i don't read japanese but it seems to be a 2 CD compilation for the 3 first games)
Shadow Hearts ("near death experience", an arrange tracks from the three games)
Shadow Hearts From the New World (OST)
Tales of the Tempest (OST)

Everything seems to be new & sealed except for the Lost Universe OST.

One of the other things I collect is electronics and movies. I'm not sure how many movies I have but I know I have near or over 1000 VHS for example. In recent months, there has been a lot of LaserDiscs popping up, I'm not sure why.

First it was a pawn shop I never been to before, and they had a bunch of them for $4 each. They also had 2 players and a Betamax which I am thinking of picking up at some point. I ended up getting these 4 LDs:


The LD player I had at the time was the Pioneer CLD-V2600 but without a remote. Recently I decided to make up a list of the tech products I want to get (eventually) and to start buying some of the things I needed, starting with the cheap stuff. The issue with the CLD-V2600 is that it is a single side play deck and the unit I had would continuously repeat sides. I knew I needed the remote, only to disable this function. I believe I had posted this before but since the CLD-V2600 is an industrial player, it has a remote that is unlike what you normally see with CE.


The timeline is weird here. I think it was 3 days prior to this remote coming in the mail, I went about and bought one of the LD players at the pawn shop. The Panasonic LX-H670 which supports both sides play. In the terms of LD players, I rank them as such:
1. Single side play
2. Both sides play/auto-reverse
3. Both sides play with AC3RF
4. LD/DVD combo

So I went from a #1 to a #2. I also picked up a "Ray Disc" player, which is one with component out that I have hooked up to my dedicated 4:3 setup. This BD player now also will perform DVD and VCD playback. The previous device was a DVD recorder, sans remote and has some weird quirks like always enabling subtitles.


And then just Saturday, someone posted an ad to Facebook for an estate sale advertising 1,500 Laserdiscs! I went on day two and got just over a dozen, with the highlights being these:

I picked up these 80s issues of Starlog for only $1 a piece, in great condition, at the legendary Cal's Books in Redding, CA yesterday!

Can you guys see the photo in my post above, now? I think I had to change some settings to make it viewable.

[rayne315]

no its still showing up as a blank photo for me.

Okay, last try. I just used a different image hosting site. Hopefully you can see that 80s goodness, now.

Found 6 of the 9 Jack of Fables trade paperbacks in Half Price Books for $3 each. That's 6 or so issues for the price of what one single issue would have cost.

Got my copies of Thor: Ragnarok and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 today! Loved both of these! I also added Captain America: Civil War to the Marvel collection (which was essentially Avengers 3, not sure why it was considered a standalone Cap movie).

I just need Doctor Strange and Ant-Man, now.

Remember when the Marvel Cinematic Universe was just 4 hero movies and The Avengers? Now it's almost like collecting comics to get all the Marvel flicks.
