Feel free to post your favorite pickups from November 2014 as we transition into December! I'll be doing so in a follow up post!

 

[davivascaino]

Missing: Watch Dogs Ps4, Tomb Raider Ps4 and Sunset Overdrive

 

[MarkMan]

Here are my favorite pickups from November! I didn't get to do this for October because I was too busy with work, but I gotta do it for this last month! Here we go!

This is probably my favorite movie of all time. Yeah I know it's an odd choice, but Coming to America is a classic! This is the Japanese Blu-Ray version that INCLUDES Japanese audio tracks. Still hilarious in Japanese! lol.

Magic Knight Rayearth gachapon! I was surprised to see some new stuff!

I saw this in the store while I visited Japan earlier in the month. Couldn't resist a Slime wall charger!

Old pal of mine hooked it up with this Earthbound guide when I was at BlizzCon earlier this month! Woo hoo!

Do you guys know who Billy Hoyle is? Woody's character from White Men Can't Jump. He rocked these in that classic basketball movie. These are the Nike Air Command Force!

Not feeling Guilty at all

Got these for my daughter!

The new Hori Xbox One stick! The HRAP V in the US packaging.

Limited edition Jason Markk X Hello Kitty cleaner, only 1000 units made.

Comes with the solution and a cute brush

Took me forever to acquire the JORDAN X SLAM DUNK Air Jordan VI! I failed at getting these in 3 different countries but finally was able to get it recently. Whew. I'm a huge fan of the manga/anime and of course love sneakers in general.

The 1991 classic that MJ wore in the playoffs vs the Lakers as he helped clinch the Bulls' first championship! The Air Jordan VI in the Black/Infrared colorway.

Like most people. I'd smash. Would you?

Also... here are some from October that I didn't get to post. Japan trip, Singapore trip, + some other stuff pickups...

They have new Earthbound / Mother 2 gachapon in Japan! These are slightly bigger than the ones released earlier this year but just come in the main characters + Mr. Saturn.

New temporary wallet until my PlayStation one comes in...

That Limited Edition

Spent a few days in November reliving the classics...

NYCC exclusive for my boo.

If you want to find out more about my adventures (in photos) and some text, check me out at http://markman23.com

 

[CoachKevin]

November was an expensive month. Got 8ish more games coming from BF deals:

David Robinson's. Had a pair back in the day. Nice.

Man those are my favorite Jordan's first time I dunked in a game in high school I was wearing those

 

[SpikedGunner]

From Black Friday:

Blu-rays $9
Headset $35

 

[Gskyace]

Birthday cake my girlfriend made for me.

 

[Gameboy415]

I got some great, pre-Black Friday stuff in the back half of November:

-I got these Blu-Rays for $3 each at Half-Price Books.

-I found these guides for $2 each at Half-Price Books.

-I snagged the Dark Pit Figma for $60 with Prime shipping on Amazon and it turned out to be the first-print edition with an exclusive AR card! Now I have all the Nintendo Figmas released thus far!
I was also extremely happy to find the Link and Wario World of Nintendo figures at my local Toys R Us! Now I have all of the currently available figures in that series too.

-I got the entire first waves of Amiibos, of course - can't wait for the next 2 waves!

-I got all the great new Nintendo stuff released on November 21st.

-I found a few decent PS2 games at Goodwill and a Slim PS2 for $4.99! I got Dragon's Dogma from Amazon's recent sale and was pretty pissed when it arrived in a red Greatest Hits case. Oddly enough, the insert & game disc were the original black label versions so I just swapped out the case. *shrug*

-I got the Kirby's Dream Land 3 Box (it's just the box) on eBay for a decent price, but the edges are sadly in pretty rough shape. :S
I found the black GBA SP (it's an AGS-101, woo) at Half-Price Books and got the other GBA SP (an OG model) and all the games at Goodwill. I was pretty psyched to find another copy of The Land Before Collection as it's a surprisingly decent platformer and my other copy's label is pretty beat up.

Last but definitely not least, a new 'grail' for my collection:

-I used to rent this game all the time as a kid and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this copy at Half-Price Books. It was pretty expensive, but it was considerably less than typical eBay prices and I've always wanted a copy so I couldn't pass it up.
The label is in immaculate condition too!

I got a whole mess of cool stuff on Black Friday too, but I'm still waiting for some of it to arrive so I'll share pics later this week.

 

[Hikami]

My only pick up from November. (Persona Q)

Black Friday didn't have much of what I wanted.. (vita game deals)
Just got a 16gb vita memory card which should be arriving tomorrow, hopefully cyber monday has something I'm interested in.

Birthday cake my girlfriend made for me.

That is one amazing cake..

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

Various Japanese car magazines and car mook... (JDM Option, Drift Tengoku, and Hyper Rev)

And a rather expensive purchase...

The "new" forever home...

Birthday cake my girlfriend made for me.

This is just too amazing! Happy birthday.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Picked that up a few weeks ago.

Also picked up Shadow of Mordor digitally for XBO during their Black Friday sale.

 

[Hikami]

First pick-ups of the month;

Finally some more space for my Vita..

Found Twewy at some store for like $3 (used) so I was like.. "Eh.. why not"
Surprised it actually works.

Time to finally find out what this game is about. I see people on GAF asking for Twewy 2 a lot.

If it doesn´t click immediately, give it some time to grow on you. I got it for super cheap a long time ago as well. Tried it for a bit and put it aside. Not sure what exactly about it put me off.

Then about a year later or so I picked it up again and got incredibly hooked. It´s an amazing game but you need to let it show its true colours.

Yeah, I'm kinda not liking Neku so far. The music has me hooked though.

Official December pickup:

 

[Sakura]

Got this junk over the weekend.
Couple games. Was surprised the new Empires was so hard to find. Went to like 3 different stores.

Picked up a New 3DS along with a Smash Bros cover plate

I bought it used for like 15,400 yen I think it was. Funny thing, as I was making the purchase I was like 'Do you guys have any of the cover plates here?' and he was like 'No, but try the store upstairs they might have them.'
So I go upstairs, and over to the game section (It was like a general electronics store) and they have brand new New 3DS's for 16,000 yen.
I was like god dammit, I saved 600 yen just to buy a used one, and it didn't even include the SD card, lol.
Anyway, after I bought a Micro SD card (needed a 16GB any way) I did the system transfer, and I went on the eShop to redownload a couple of my DSiWare games that couldn't make the transfer for whatever reason. And in the list of redownloadable software, Monster Hunter 4G was there
It's still like 5000 yen used, and I was wanting the game, so it worked out good for me. Downloaded it and now I'm going to try playing it soon.

 

[Shady859]

Massive goodies list

Do you have pics anywhere of your collections: shoes, gaming, etc? Your monthly pick-ups are always fun.

 

[NeoFaff]

Got a couple of B+ Pis in November. Ordered a bunch of stuff to bling them up which was delivered today.

B+ with Heatsinks, 2 small 64gb usb drives and a cheap ebay case + sticker. Already have this set up to run Samba and miniDLNA servers.

B+ with the "stock" case, wifi adapter and NOOBS card. Not sure about what to do with this Pi yet. Think I'll use it for XBMC or emulation.

Also got the Max Keyboard 8 switch tester Top row is Cherry Red, Black, Blue and Brown. Bottom row is Cherry Grey, Clear, White and Green.

 

[AdmiralMikey]

Whew! What a month November was! Between big games I've been waiting to come out for a long time like Smash and Dragon Age, along with some good Black Friday deals, decent stuff in stock at my local game shops and Target's Buy 2 Get 1 Deal, I amassed a nice little haul for the month!

PS: Sunset Riders!!

Now that's a pickup post. Good stuff all around!

 

[Coconut]

Official December pickup:

Do you just shake it into your mouth or is it used like some type of dessert parmesan?

 

[Auron_Kale]

Do you just shake it into your mouth or is it used like some type of dessert parmesan?

It's shaved chocolate rather than powdered hot chocolate. You add a tablespoonful of it to a mug of hot milk.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

neca nes batman figure came in at the end of last month looks really cool

Genesis: Rolling Thunder 3, Wardner

Genesis: Growl

 

[TheMoon]

choo choo!

 

[Coconut]

I get that it's shaved chocolate and my question still stands.

 

[Acrylic7]

New temporary wallet until my PlayStation one comes in...

Where did you get this wallet?

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

Cross post from Figure GAF, but you can never have too much Renge:

 

[Auron_Kale]

I get that it's shaved chocolate and my question still stands.

Gotcha and I guess if you wanted to use it as dessert Parmesan or just dump it into your mouth, you definitely could.

Last time I got a tin, I ended up eating the remainder of chocolate because there wasn't enough to make a mug of hot chocolate. Was pretty good actually but I still prefer making hot chocolate out of it rather than eating it.

 

[Galdius]

Here are two new games to the collection:

Lego Hobbit (I bought on Black Friday)
Resident Evil HD

I plan on playing at least a bit of RE tonight.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Some of my pickups in the past month:

Omega Ruby and Smash hiding in the background (I was teasing my friend with the pic)

KH2.5 Limited Edition

My baby, Persona Q 3DS XL

And I said what the hell, let's start a Tales collection and rebought most of the games I owned digitally (plus snagged like new Xillia 2 and Symphonia collectors editions for good prices); not pictured, my 360 and PS3 Vesperia copies (also, sorry for the blurriness on this one)

 

[darkwing-buck]

 

[Malik Ishtal]

All of my Black Friday purchases that have arrived so far. I still have three games coming. I bought the Ultra Edition of Killer Instinct for half off also.
