Grats on the very nice bundle. One word of advice though. Throw The Wonderful 101 into that pile, and well, you got a stew going.

Stuff from the last few weeks I seemingly forgot to post:
-The first issue from the Kickstarter - I like it a lot! I'd prefer if it were monthly though.
-I've already been playing the digital version but I couldn't pass up the Wii Fit U retail bundle for $65! I got the JP Pokemon Typing game from Amazon for a decent price - now to find a cheap copy of the Euro version with a white keyboard...
-I already had the previous Blu-ray release of Akira but the original Streamline dub included on this release was my introduction to anime as a teen so I had to pick it up for nostalgia-reasons.
Wolf Children was finally on sale so I snapped that right up (SUCH a good movie!) and the other two movies were super-cheap on Amazon as well.
-I originally came across the Tale of Terror From Tokyo series at a used media shop but opted to order it from Amazon as they had new copies for less than the used one. I'm glad I did b/c not only does the set include the entire series in one DVD-Case - it also includes the movie!
Return to Neverland was finally on sale so I grabbed a copy before it gets vaulted & I've heard good things about The Last Unicorn and it was finally cheap enough for an impulse-buy.
-I don't actively collect comics any more but I have a few older series I've been trying to complete over the years.
I recently got/read the Hsu and Chan TPB that collects issues 1-5 and found out that there were 2 issues I didn't have - 7 & 8. Amazon randomly had issue 8 in-stock but I had to turn to eBay for issue 7.
I decided to check the seller's other items and found that they had several other comics from series I was trying to complete and only charged $3.95 shipping for any number of comics so I ordered all of the above.
I now have every Hsu and Chan comic (which is frustrating b/c #8 ends on a cliff-hanger - argh!), every Captain N comic, all but 2 of the Twisted ToyFare Theatre collections, and am only 4 comics away from a complete run of Ren & Stimpy.
-I finally upgraded from a crappy wireless mouse to a gaming mouse and I love it! Plus I got it for nearly 50% off.
After picking up & being thoroughly impressed by the Samus Figma, I had to get Link as well. These figures are incredible!! I'm going to pick up Pit & Dark Pit eventually.
The Yurei Attack book is part of a really interesting series of "guidebooks" about Japanese culture/mythology. I loved the 2 previous books in the series - Yokai Attack & Ninja Attack - and it seems there are new/extended versions of both of them so I'll definitely be picking those up at some point too.

This came in today; thanks AGDQ, for kindling my love for Airou.
I've been wanting to post in this these threads for awhile now; so here's a 'best of' for the last few months. Bit of everything here. I'm a games collector, though now that I have a mortgage I can't splurge like I used to
Look out for me in the collection threads, I'll be posting some collection pics soon. Just found something amazing and incredibly rare for the SNES, though that will have to wait until the next thread.
Finally picked up a vita and a few games. Not pictured over a years worth of PS+ games. Tearaway is so damn good it hurts.
Just a few random games I picked up. Paper Mario and Gex games replacing ones I lent out but never got back. Lesson learned, no more lending out games.
Just some soundtracks to add to my growing collection. VERY happy that I now own the Alundra OST. Hard to find and such a great soundtrack

This month's haul so far...
Got a brand new Neo Geo X Gold system and the Mega Pack Vol 1 for a total of $100 AUD this morning. It's kinda terrible compared to my AES setup but it was a bargain and looks good on the shelf as an odd collectable. I do like the old school AES shock box the Mega Pack comes in though. Zelda 3DS XL makes up for the suckage that the NGX brings.
Wireless dongle for using 360 pads on Steam, NES games and RR4 were $5 a piece, got a brand new Prey for cheap to register on Steam, the shitty 360 game and the other one (play at home - you decide which is which!) were $2.50 each new and sealed, and found a mint copy of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 on PS3 for cheap so thought I'd nab that up before they all disappear and cost stupid amounts on eBay.

My first purchase of 2014 arrived in the mail a few days ago. It's a custom-ordered bracelet from The_Monk's fiancee! Absolutely love it. I requested a snake pendant and she found one I liked.
Thank you very much fellow GAFfer, I'm glad you liked. Since everything is hand-made and it can be up to people when it comes to ideas/materials/colors/etc that one was a first.
Here's the other one some GAFfers decided to order for themselves and it was shipped to them, if anyone is interested:
As for my very, very late December + January pick-ups:
Shoes, Made In Portugal.
Boots for winter.
Wristwatch, got it as a gift and I simply love it.
Book "Sleep" by Haruki Murakami. It's a hardcover and it has colored illustrated images too. Great quality.
For PC Gaming:
- Empire Total War & Napoleon Total War + All the DLC
- Rome: Total War Gold Edition
- Medieval II Bundle Gold Edition
Farming Simulator for the PS Vita from the January Sale, price was too low to pass.

oh sheeeeyit is that Sharni Vinson?!?!You're Next (BD) - Already bought this on the PSN store and watched it, as I was impatient. Decided to buy it again though, as I really don't like owning movies digitally. Especially while the PS4 only offers streaming, for movies you purchase. It's a pretty fun little film, which I can see popping up more than once during my halloween horror marathons.

I am so gonna watch that movie now!!

They carry a lot of them on Amazon, which is where I bought mine.

Sealed!
I always thought this game was pretty interesting because it's an actual full RTS made for the GBA. It's not turn-based or anything like that; everything is in real time. It's sort of like mini-Starcraft with robots.
The seller sent it in a flimsy bubble mailer. >:I
Fortunately it didn't get crushed, but the front of the box is pushed in ever so slightly. It's not bad so I don't care much, but come on. GBA boxes are pretty fragile. Use less flimsy shipping please, sellers.

Totally forgot this had a game coming for it. Shame no US details have been announced for this yet.
