That's so incredibly tempting. I'm not I'd go back to GBA games enough to be worth it, but I always thought the original GBA design was really slick aside from the screen.

Thanks! Just keep focused on your goal. Prioritize your funds as best as possible. Make little things a habit, and before you know it, it becomes a lot easier. Once you get close to that downpayment, you will go into fund cutting overdrive to get there, haha.
Those living room windows are the best. I'm a big fan of natural lighting, so when I saw those, my heart was taken almost immediately.

NiceFind a bunch for cheap I presume?
£30 each. One for me, a bro and 2 people on a forum I know of. I'll end up with the machine plus a little cash on the side too. Pretty pleased.
Hot dog! So jealous.
Do those modded GBAs still take AA batteries or do they have a rechargeable battery pack, I can't seem to find any mention of it on their site.

Bought myself a modest starter house. My goal was to be a home owner by the end of 25. I close on this house two weeks after I turn 26. I barely missed the goal, haha. I love it though! Decent sized for a single man with my ladyfriend moving in a year from now. Finished basement and it didn't cost an arm and a leg to get. Very, very happy.
Congrats!!!

RE: GBA - The screen is like $40 or so, looks like a simple install. Gonna do that myself.

Sorry for the terrible image quality. My phone sucks.
This is all the gaming stuff I've bought since mid-December. Kind of went on a handheld buying spree.
The Final Fantasy V boxart is also slightly cut off.

Sideshow 1:6 Baroness. My Cobra army is almost complete
Here are three of my most favorite for 2013
Zelda 3DS XL. I fell in love with the design but I thought I would never get one due to my poor financial situation in late 2013. Once that was cleared up it was around the same time Walmart that that $200 sale. I got a bit emotional when it delivered.
Otakon 2013 pass for the Yoko Kanno concert. Otakon 2013 was the tenth anniversary of me attending conventions of any kind. It was a well needed weekend of meeting friends, ducking from the rain, and waiting in line. Waited a good four hours for this pass that Friday, and Waited and additional five hours on Sunday, the day of the concert. The result? Me and my friends got fifth row center seats, with myself the aisle seat less than twenty feet away from Ms. Kanno and her beautiful piano. She performed beautifully, and was legitimately excited to see and hear the crowd (Her facial expressions were priceless to see in person and not from the big screens. I was near tears when she performed the opening notes to The Real Folk Blues. I was giddy as a preteen at a 1 Direction concert throughout that event. They allowed us to keep the passes as keepsakes, which I am very thankful.
SH Figuarts Piccolo (Special Color Edition) I was late to the SHF game. Late to find out that the DBZ Kai Piccolo was going for over $100 in mid 2013. I saw on Bluefin Tamashii Nations' facebook page that for the San Diego Comic-Con they would sell a special reissue of this coveted figure. I was excited to see it, then bummed when I lived with the shock knowing I wouldn't get it at SDCC. I was prepared to pay up to $90 for it on ebay. That changed when I was at the dealers room at Otakon, and saw two retailers selling it for varying prices, slightly below my limit.
I had a hunch that there was one more booth that would be selling it cheaper. I turned a corner and saw the BTN booth. I jetted towards it, and was ecstatic to see mini piles of Piccolo, for the same price he was going for at Comic-Con! I snatched it up! And the cool part is he's still available for the same price on their website!
So far here are my pick ups for January.
I got this today at the neighborhood pawnshop
Complete
And for this price. Oh, I live in Delaware. No sales tax!
However, this is the most important purchase of mine this month, and perhaps the entire year.

The last pic is supposed to be a joke since all I've been doing so far is updating it!
Anyhoo, I bought the Skylanders Swap Force WiiU. I plan on selling all the Skylanders stuff, which should bring my total cost of the system to about $200, hopefully a bit less.
This is my first gaming console in about 3-4 years. Pretty excited to be back into the swing of things.

They still take AA batteries, but taking them in and out to recharge them isn't that bad.
It looks totally doable, just make sure you buy the right kit (32 or 40 pins).

This may sound weird but the ones I most envy you for all those is the Harry Potter games, I had them and they were all incredibly fun!

This thread made me buy both of them right before New Year's Eve. I really need to get around to playing them soon.
Here's a little Easter Egg for ya - in Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone, in Diagon Alley buy (I think) 30 pairs of boots. Then when crossing the moat to the castle, pause and unpause the game, and you'll be able to press the button to shoot owls at the bugs flying over the water, turning it into a kind of mini shooter game. Fun trivia, I put that Easter egg in *the day we shipped*, which is a rather large no-no
This post pushed me over the edge into buying them. That's just way too radical!
These turned up on ebay yesterday for £6 each, and I snapped them up immediately - these things are like fucking gold dust here. And they turned up today!
I also got Street Fighter 2 lol fuck you Nintendo Edition for the MD, which was in my local cash generator for a grand total of 99p
just look at that glorious image (minus the lampshade, of course)

A load of handheld games! The Kirby didn't include the stylus sadly and the Game & Watch Collection was from Club Nintendo, the EU store pictures the Japanese version on the site so I was a little disappointed when I opened the envelope and there was one of those shitty PAL cases in it.
Big telly games too.
A book about the best game I only bought to give From more money and a Monster Hunter 4 3DS XL pounch I love.
My last pair of Air Max started leaking over December so I bought these and I love them. Green shoes are best shoes.

I need this in my life, where did you order it from?
I'm very tempted. Know if this is a limited run or something?
I'm not sure but I don't think so. I haven't seen anywhere that says it's a limited edition or anything

Just moved into a new place, and had to grab a new TV. Vizio M401I-A3. Pretty Nice TV, although I am no expert, but it seems good so far as a bedroom TV.
Also, grabbed some PS2 games from Gamestop 75% blowout plus a few others.
