I finally found a Toad Amiibo. Found him at a local Toys R Us, there were four left. Usually won't buy amiibos at TRU since they are a little expensive, but only go as a last resort or if it's a store exclusive.

I also bought a couple Wii Points(yes, WII POINTS) cards for the Wii. I did so to download these old WiiWare titles...
Castlevania Rebirth, Contra Rebirth, Gradius Rebirth and Bomberman Blast.
Probably will be the last few titles I'll download from WiiWare.

Considering Konami's quest to destroy everything they've ever made, you probably did the right thing. :p

Picked this up at the local used movie/game shop. Looks quite interesting. A platformer where you torture your enemies with various devices and weapons in a humorous (albeit dark humor) way. Can't wait to get some time to sit down and play this one!

Stopped by the mom and pop shop today.

Left with this...



Yeah. So now I need to buy a game gear.

Never heard of Vampire Night. But apparently it's a spiritual successor to House of the Dead and the best light gun game ever released for PS2.

I'll have to fire it up (pun intended) on the crt this weekend and see for myself.

I also picked up something not pictured, A PS1 model 1 with about 6 crappy games most incomplete with all hook ups and a controller for free, when I asked about video games at this sale, the lady brought out a dirty PS1 with a bunch of crappy games, I passed but she said I could have it because she was just going to throw it away. Fine I'll take it. lol

I stopped at a sale and asked about video games and the young man there said, ya I got a game boy, but its at my house. He said He'll have them later in the afternoon and told me to come back. Well seeing how I was stiffed at three other sales that did this I didn't get my hopes up. I come back and the young man wasn't there. His mom told me he'll be back soon, so I waited. After waiting 20 minutes I was about to tell the mom, I'll be back in a bit when the young man pulled up with a stack of stuff. First I saw a stack of 360 games, nothing special and nothing I was interested in. Then I looked in the small box he had, and in it was a Game Boy Pocket (Black) the screen had issues but still worked. A couple Game Boy Advances Both missing battery cover and colors I had so I passed of those. Next a Game Boy Advance SP (101 light blue model) It was kinda beat up but it worked and had it's charger and a Link Cable. Then I saw the games, Some GBA, some GBC, some original GB. When I asked how this guy acted like he didn't know if he wanted to sell them. I tried a starting offer of $20, and he said no he couldn't sell them for that, then he said that the games where worth at least $5 a piece and the GBA SP was $15. So after some back and forth I finally got him to accept $50. Here's what I got.

Stopped at a sale and when I asked about video games a lady said she had a Game Boy. And she bring out a Game Boy Color (Lime Green) with 3 games. I asked price and she said $10 okay? Here's the games it had.
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
- Shrek Fairy Tale Freakdown
- Wario Land 3

Found a Jorden vs Bird Tiger LCD in a free box.

GEN/N64
I stopped at a sale and asked about video games and the lady said she had a Genesis, but she didn't put it out to sell because the system was missing the plug. I told her I was still interested in it and she pulls out a large box full of games and I even see N64 games in the box get excited and see they are all sport games.  :-\  She told me $1 a game, so I picked out the ones I thought I was missing was missing.

And last my best find of the week.
On Friday, I was out and had a horrible time with finding anything at sales. wasn't finding much of anything.
Then late in the afternoon, I was heading home and saw a sale I didn't stop at yet so I pulled over. I see an old man and the sale looked like a lost cause for video games, I asked and the old gentlemen said You looking for old computers? I said I wasn't into PC but for some reason i continued with "what do you have?" He asked if i knew what a TI-99 was, and my eyes lit up. Yes I am interested to see what you got. The nice guy invited me into his house and he pulls out box after box from under a ping pong table. I see the Complete in Box TI-99/4a then he shows me a bunch of the games. Many I've never seen before. Then He pulls out this weird controller thing, (CIB) I had no idea what this was (but I had to have it)  :P He told me that it was to play several of the games he had and how loved playing baseball with it. Then he pulls out the Tape Recorder for it and a box full of cords for the system. In there I even see the Voice Modulator for the TI-99. Then he pulls out another TI-99 system, this time the beige model 2. Also a box full of games of tape (all copied) After talking back and forth on price we finally agreed on $70 for it all. And here's what I got.  ;D

- TI-99/4a model 2 system with all hook ups.
- TI voice modulator
- TI Joysticks
- A modified Atari Joystick to work on the TI-99
