-I found a bunch of older CDs & books I wanted at Goodwill for $.59-$2 each.
-I got this awesome Ouija set at Goodwill too.
-I found the Pokemon figures, Gamora, & Clonetrooper at Goodwill for $1-2 each, got Mr. Burns & Sonic on clearance at TRU, and finally tracked down the new Toon Link figure at Target.
-I've started tracking down DVDs of older comedies/sci-fi/horror movies I like that haven't been released on Blu-Ray yet. Got everything pictured for $.90-1.80 a pop.
-I got the Sonic X DVDs on eBay (they seem to be bootlegs, oh well), grabbed S2 & 3 of Night Gallery on Amazon, and found the others for $1-2 each at Goodwill/Half-Price Books.
-I got all of these super-cheap during recent sales. I was a little annoyed Step Up 5 didn't come out in 3D in the US, but the UK release is region-free and it was fairly cheap to import.
-I got all of these PC games for 99cents each at Goodwill.
-I got all of the PS1/PS2 games & Blur for PS3 at various thrift shops, got Splinter Cell on clearance at Target, and the other 3 PS3 games 3 for $10 at Gamestop.
-I got these more obscure games for various systems from a few different thrift stores.
And last, but certainly not least, I got a bunch of great new Nintendo stuff!
-I got all of the awesome Majora's Mask stuff but I couldn't decide which LE New 3DS XL I wanted so I ended up pre-ordering both, haha.
-I got all of these amiibos over the first half of the month (I already posted the Rosalinas I got back on 2/1).
-All of this stuff just arrived today! I got the 32GB Micro SD for my New 3DS XL and finally got the Boo faceplate for my JP New 3DS.
I think my UPS guy might be Santa Claus! haha

I can vouch for Amazon Japan. Best part with therm is that if you have an Admin account anywhere else, you can use that account there.
If you check out my post from Wednesday, the two Persona items (CD & BD) came from Amazon Japan. They will normally back your item with cardboard and then shrinkwrap it with a thick sheet of plastic before packing into a box. Never had any CDs crack when buying from them during shipping.
from one jr to another, thats not how the pick up thread works

That is not in the spirit of this thread. "Do not CRITICIZE other people's pick ups. This is a friendly thread. No need for insults!"

Gah. All these amiibos people are posting drive me crazy. I never seem to be online when preorders go up and whenever I have the time to walk through a store, they are completely picked over. All I've managed to find lately are Bowser and Toon Link. I guess I should have grabbed multiple Villagers, Trainers and Marths to use as trade bait since I was actually able to get them.
Let me start this by saying I already own a New Nintendo 3DS. I'm not missing out on anything here!
Someone at work mentioned they got a Nintendo free with a phone contract and forgot about it. Its been in their house used for months.
I was like oh what is it? They didn't know (not a gamer)
They said they'd bring it in and I could have it.
Brand new, unopened. Gave her £30 for it. I'm stunned. My plan is to eventually back up all of my digital titles (I have a LOT on my New XL that I've bought over the years) and have them on both consoles to play, with this XL being used as a nice cheap solution to take around with me and not worry about losing or whatever.
Saves would be interchangeable too. Just gotta wait for the N3DS hack to come out! Until then, I will use it for puyo puyo Tetris (my only import lol), animal crossing and cubic ninja when I buy it later. Not too fussed about not having much to play on it right now considering the low cost and that I have a N3DS with all my games on anyhow.

Had to go out of my way for these, but 10 quid each is well worth it (not including the blu ray)
Some new pick-ups from the last 4-5 weeks
Kinda feel bad about not picking this up from my new WiiU as that can use all the 3th party sales it can get, but... I'd rather
have the kids destroying some old X360 pads then my new gamepad. Game is pretty fun, will definitely buy some more
figures, both to collect and play with.
More X360 games! Still completing my collection before I retire it to be the kids Skylanders/Infinity machine.
Starting my WiiU collection! Smash is great fun, was glad to find the version with the GameCube hub randomly in town.
Used the points towards a cute relaxation set I'm using as a small pillow right now. I don't care for trinkets like
Mario Kart pins so I decided on getting an item that would actually see some use.
Completing my Disney Blu-ray collection. Still missing some bits and pieces, but I'm nearing a complete collection.
Got the Lego set as it was discontinuing. Love the minifigs, being a throwback to the Futuron-line of the late 80's.
Robot is really awesome, although pretty fragile. Definitely a nice display set.

Bought my first retail Vita game. Ironically it's the one game I really want on PSN, but the physical game is much cheaper and I didn't want to wait for a potential sale.
Three CDs. A bit disappointed by the MAW album, I though most of the tracks would be house music, turned out half the album is hiphop-ish.
And since I've begun to start a little CD collection, I decided to get a dedicated CD player as well. The Denon DCD 520 AE was the cheapest brand-name product on the market.

A sensible decision in this case. If I were to ever get a Vita (Lol) I'd probaly just download everything since the physical copies aren't really that attractive. Just a case with the cartridge. :/
At least 3DS did have manuals/pamphlets for a couple years.

Thomas Was Alone OST. Been meaning to get it for awhile, such a beautiful soundtrack. I wish it got a physical release.
Dexter comics. #1 and #3 are a bit too expensive for me right now...
Late Christmas presents from my girlfriend. Makin' bacon!
Charity shop book haul. Love me some cheap books (that go into a pile and I never read because I have a hoarding problem D

I can only speak for Lumines of course, but it includes a 20 page manual. Nothing special, it's b/w and fairly small, but it's a manual.

Picked up this really rad Hori 3DSXL case to match my MMN3DS. Currently $35 on Amazon. I know it's a bit pricy for a case, but I couldn't resist the Zelda design.

Just picked up Majora's Mask 3D and Kirby & The Rainbow Curse, courtesy of my friend's mom. Who does NOT work at Nintendo. Sorry guys.
Majora's 3D is good for finally having a version of the game with a proper case to display in my gaming library. Kirby is to add to my Kirby collection of having at least one version of every Kirby game (+the Dream Collection).

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?

Collection so far:
Majora's Mask n3DS:

Snagged Far Cry 4 for ~25$ thanks to online stores dropping prices in rabid competition. Grabbed the rest at my local brick and mortar store.
Wii U games are brutally hard to come by in my country so I ended up importing a bunch. MGS GZ surprisingly made it on PC here, as a fan of the series this was a no-brainer. Evil Within physical copy was going cheap, snagged that. Love the reversible cover <3.
iPad Air 2 3G 64GB (my first tablet) and Tomodachi Life.
Two OnePlus Ones since my mom's Nexus 5 died and mine was on the verge of the same. Got lucky with invites.
Makes me wish I got my PS4 in white.
PSN sale goodness. Tales from Borderlands is surprisingly good!

My haul for this month (so far)
Not pictured is Toon Link. Still looking for Mega Man.
And here's what my current collection looks like in the new case:

Went on a PS2 splurge and they're finally all here, so time for a pic:
Such a glorious library the system had.

It's definitely up there with the SNES.
