Support NeoGAF

[bodyboarder]

Yeah, i only started going to goodwill stores because of some of the stuff people were posting in monthly pickup threads. In the 2 years I've been visiting the stores, I've only found 2 items worth noting. The micro being the latest item, the first being a mint condition panzer dragoon and valkyrie profile in the same run -i looked at the cases about 8 times before i was able to comprehend what i was looking at- (literally looks like a mom just brought her kids game collection to good will). That was in Manchester, CT.

I dont go on a daily basis even though the merchandise changes pretty frequently. but ill go 2-3 times a month to the 3 in my area.

Yeah I'm about the same. Once every few weeks I'll do a "run" but also include pawn brokers. I used to work at one and we'd have the same people come in every morning who were professional "thfiters/ebayers" who would visit 20+ stores (goodwill/pawn) a day. You just can't compete with that.

Why am I not suprised there's a nadeshiko figure. Do you know if there's a poseidon one?

Nearing the end of my trip to Japan, but it's been a good one!


Also grabbed 2 more MGS T's from Uniqlo not pictured. Click for larger

Gaming from that batch:

All that Saturn stuff cost me less than 5000Y.. gotta love Japan!

And more recently to round it off:

Helping the Vita cause, another bargain N64 purchase, and the sexiest way to play DK'94 with Super Gameboy enhancements!

First time posting in one of these I think, got this fun toy at the start of the month. Still breaking it in.

[()_listerfeend_()]

Where and how?

www.mondotees.com and since this one dropped late last year, ebay...

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

£5 in Sainsbury's. My local one had quite a few things left for decent prices, but nothing I don't already own.

 

[Chairhome]

I want to pick up a DS DQ game but I have no idea which one

V was good, VI was okay. I loved IV on NES, but replaying it on DS didn't capture me as much as it did back in the day. Honestly, I'd say IX. I loved IX.

Where did you get this from?

Nope. No Poseidon. That's a shame though because that's a cool look. I looooove Nadeshiko though.

New to NeoGAF. Loving it here, it has reignited my interest in gaming.

Catching up on missed hits:

Also GameCube things:

 

[lilralphie]

Walked into a goodwill near my work in MA. Walked out 9 bucks poorer with this in my car. Its practically new, doesnt even look likes its been used.

Epic.

 

[CoachKevin]

Basically my pick up of the year. Been looking for one of these ever since I went to Japan:





It need a new control panel/buttons/sticks. I am going green/pink like the cab originally had.

Also I need some Jamma PCBs....

One thing, the monitor is FUCKING AMAZING. The scan lines on this thing....

 

[robot]

^ awesome - welcome to the dark, bottomless pit that is PCB collecting!

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Finally here! Funnily enough, despite preordering it months ago, I wasn't hyped at all for this game until the little delay this week.

 

[Futurevoid]

I'm also on the Joker bandwagon!

Where did you get this from?

Roku 2 XD was free from Dish Network, SW was $30 from GameStop... if you can find one.

Would love to see some more pictures if possible.
Besides the badges, are there any obvious differences between the FR-S and the BRZ?

 

[Yes Boss!]

Very nice that XSEED went greyscale on their logo. CLASS.

Congrats.

Love seeing your arcade pickups. Awesome. I'd love to see your basement/gameroom!

BTW,

If you want a brand new 2-player Astro panel I highly recommend akihabarashop.jp. $200-250 will set you up with a new official one.

 

[CoachKevin]

I know, it already started with my Neo Geo

 

[Ordinator]

I love blue moon, but I've never gotten use to most of the seasonal stuff... I never tried that one though. It' good?

I dont think the summer one is very different, but then again I'm kind of new to beer. I'd say they taste somewhat similar. It's good, definitely recommend it.

I will post some pics of everything this weekend. I actually ordered the stuff for the CP already. Thanks though.

MD Headphones finally came in as did The Raid on bluray. Also got a free 750gig USB3 portable drive from HP, along with a laptop sleeve case and a slim laptop briefcase.

 

[Mr.LightMan]

Bought my first BR, don't think i'll start my collection again though.
I also love the game.

DQ IX for the co-op.

@MortalMonkey: Where did you get the Chun Li statue? And why haven't bought one yet?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Fuck yeah, new RPG that might not suck.

 

[MortalMonkey]

@MortalMonkey: Where did you get the Chun Li statue? And why haven't bought one yet?

Bought it straight from Pop Culture Shock Collectibles. They only made 75 of the black outfit version. You basically had to win a lottery to get her in black. I got super lucky. They do sell a red version and classic blue version as well; those are readily available.

Ordered the bananas and got the strawberries by mistake. They were cool enough to let me keep the strawberries and send out the bananas at no charge.

Looks so small the candy.

And it's so cute!!!

[CoachKevin]

Ya I need to find a good stool or chair set for it. Any suggestions?

Ikea has some quick and cheap solutions - I got 2 white folding chairs for my Astro 6 years ago and never needed to replace them. I believe they have stools too.

Or you can get in on a Taito stool group buy but they dont come often and run about $180 a stool (shipped).

I think it's time we resurrect the arcade thread on here!

50cm Winnie the Pooh plush.

I want one <3

 

[Grecco]

I am extremly jealous of that Astro Cab. One of my dream items is one of those with Super Turbo.

 

[Semblance]

Hastily taken phone pic, excuse me, but yeah. I really love the way these platinum collection boxes look. So pretty.

 

[Rad Agast]

I'll post full pictures in the show off your car thread in the OT later. As to differences between the Subaru and the Toyota, other than the exterior stuff, the suspension is supposed to be better on the BRZ.

Edit:

I guess this thread will do

 

[wonderboyjones]

Got the SWTOR Collector's Edition for $30 at GameStop. Koralyne (my daughter) wouldn't let me take the pic without her in it

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

From the OT:

Sorry about the quality

 

[Futurevoid]

Alternate head to that Joker statue:

Can't decide which one I like more.

 

[Last Baron]

Is it modeled off a specific Joker? It reminds me of Tim Sale's but a grittier.
