Yup the SNDA27P1. There is a black version also. Remember to get a proper NATO-strap. The width is 22 mm.

Metal Sonic from F4F - first time ordering from them, really nice product but have to exchange the base since there's a small defect on it. This guy is huge, guessing almost 20 inches?
Had some Geoffrey bucks so bought lil Rick from Walking Dead. About the size of a small G.I Joe, really cool and detailed but too expensive ($23).

I didn't get a decent paycheck last month until December 30th (including a nice fat referral bonus for getting a friend hired) so this is the stuff I bought during the last weekend of December that I haven't had a chance to post til now:
Got this lot of random older games dirt cheap at Gamestop.
The more obscure DS games are becoming harder to find CIB in my area so I nabbed the top 3 at Disc Replay and Gamestop.
The standard PSP games were $10 a pop and Ys was the only LE copy left at any Gamestop in my area so I picked it up.
The Genesis games were $0.99 each in a big clearance bin!
I'd never seen this particular Spot game so I picked it up too.
All of these were 50% off at FYE in the mall.
Also got 3 Sonic The Hedgehog coffee mugs for $9.99 total. (not pictured)
And now the stuff I've actually picked up in January:
I know the couch is hideous, but my friends and I have been passing this monstrosity back and forth since High School and it's finally back in my possession!
It's insanely huge and comfortable despite its looks.
I'm actually going to attempt to re-upholster it when I get some extra time/money.
Ironically enough, the day I got the couch into my living room my giant rear-projection TV died!
BUT, I talked to Sony's customer support and I'm getting a new 3D TV as a replacement at a huge discount!
It should show up in a few weeks and I'll be sure to post pics when it does.
Picked up the stuff at the top of this pic in anticipation of the new TV:
Miraculously found a copy at my local Mitsuwa Marketplace.
Grabbed these at Goodwill to use as a resource for some future projects.
Got all of these on clearance at Target.
I also found a smaller modern Sonic and a modern Knuckles. (no pic)
I got an e-mail from Gamestop advertising some "FPS sale" and I figured $12.59 for MW2 and $10.49 for WaW was pretty reasonable. Got the last copy of Strange Journey for $10 too.

Better late than never, eh?
Christmas gifts: First, what my parents got me:
Been a huge Marx Brothers fan for years, and I've been meaning to pick these up for a while now. Both are great collections.
Then my sister got me these:
The hardest choice on Christmas day was deciding which one I would watch first.
Oh, and because I couldn't ask my family to drop $150 on a gift for me, I bought myself this set with my Christmas bonus:
Front View
Top View
Side View
Rush: Sector 1, 2, and 3. Their first 15 albums (Rush to A Show of Hands) digitally remastered and packaged in mini-LP cases.
In case you couldn't tell, I really like Rush.

Nice, me too. Really nice pickups. Hoping to see them again next time they are performing in the DC area.
An envelope from Japan! What could the people of that fine country have sent me?
Ohhhh
WONDERFUL
omg.. what is this!?!?!

Used, but in fantastic condition.
Some new bearings and linkage for my Golf.
Oh man, I remember on my old Golf when I had one of those dogbone links break when I was 100 miles from home, I had to drive home with only 3rd and 4th gear. It was a bitch taking off from a stop in 3rd haha.
Used, but in fantastic condition.
I like it so much that I recently got a second one (to remain sealed, though).
Less than 4 days to arrive from Japan to Barcelona (Spain). Awesome, f'ck you SCEE.
Where did you buy? I live in Italy: i need a fast japanese online shop!
BUY A CASE FOR THAT KINDLE!!!
You would not believe how fast you can break the screen. I had to get mine replaced 2 days after I bought it. You do not even have to buy those expensive 40 dollar cases either, the 10 dollar moko case works great.
check your PM
New wireless headphones
I don't know why, i always thought that wireless headphones are not reliable.
That stand is hot anyway!
Can I get the name of the site as well please?
Need a 32GB stick in time for Vita's launch here.

I got to see them on the Snakes and Arrows tour and it was an amazing show.
I'm hoping to see Van Halen, Black Sabbath, and Springsteen this year. I have the necessary vacation time saved up and my tax return will easily cover cost, it's just a matter of getting the tickets.

What is that? Artwork? Very nice.
Why a gtx 590 when new cards are out/almost out?
Still, nice upgrade
.Like you literally put it together, piece by piece. like a PC?

To bring back an old artistic style:
I meant as in bargain bin but thats the only bin I have...

I've owned a Kindle for 2+ years and carry it with me daily. Never had a case...not a blemish. GF's Kindle from XMAS is caseless and looks flawless too.
And some books:
Morgan Spurlock was just ahead of me in line at Comic Con picking up some Mattel Comic Con exclusives. The line wasn't that long but was cool to see him with his son (I assume it's his son) waiting for his turn like the rest of us average citizens.

Well it's the prefect time to buy soon-last-gen cards. Everyone discounts old models because of new one.
Is that the new XT you've got on there?
who buys the latest cards when they're out day 1 ?? usually they're useless until some eye candy game comes out and show it's powers
my old ati 4780x2 was awesome for a year and a half but dx10 got older and i wanted to play bf3 at full settings

My favorite purchases of 2011:
Canon EOS 60D. Body only.
If I had to choose my absolute favorite puchase of last year, it'd be this. Upgraded from an XTI that I had for a few years and this camera does everything that I want and more. I'm not big on videography so I haven't fiddled around with the video function extensively.
San Diego Comic-Con 2011.
It was my first year attending SDCC and was my second comic convention (I had attended WonderCon '11 earlier). It was crazy in and outside of the convention center; I loved every moment of it. I'll definitely try to attend again this year.
Nintendo 3DS.
Without a doubt, there was a drought of big releases for the 3DS in its first few months, but it's picked up since then. I take my 3DS with me everywhere (gotta get them steps counted). A few games are still sealed due to just receiving them during Christmas and/or I haven't decided to play them just yet. Currently, I'm playing Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, WWE All-Stars and Mario Kart 7. If you're wondering why there are a few holes in my collection (Star Fox 64 3D, Resident Evil: Mercenaries), it's because my brother owns a 3DS and those games. I'm in no rush to add them to my collection unless they come down really cheap. As a matter of fact, the only 3DS game I've payed full price for was Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition on launch. I've spent an average of $20 per game. I plan on picking up a number of 3DS games in the next two months (Tekken 3D Prime Edition, Tales of the Abyss, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, Mario & Sonic at the London Olympics 2012, and Resident Evil: Revelations).
Acquisition of Zelda video games.
I've begun to seek and obtain the Zelda titles that are missing from my collection. I believe these are all of the ones that I bought last year. This, of course, doesn't contain other Zelda memorabilia (posters, guides, soundtracks, etc.) and Zelda games that I already own prior to 2011.
-----------------------------------------
And now a few purchases for this month:
Stussy x Marvel: Captain America Tee. Red/Medium. $26
Copped a new tee for myself. The last time I bought a graphic tee was nearly 9 months ago. I'm very selective with the graphic tees that I buy now. I usually stick to v-necks and/or polos but couldn't resist getting this shirt at that price (after tax/shipping).
Starcraft II: Heaven's Devils Collector's Edition. William C. Dietz. $15
#741/1000. Not sure when I'll get around to reading this (maybe before Heart of the Swarm is released?) but it came in a nice leather gift box.

Just arrived! cant wait to put it inn after work. its that time were i replay all my favorite looking games
Definitely jealous. Still can't justify an upgrade of my 570 / 2600K combo. I may revisit the upgrade when the Nvidia 680/670 (or whatever the high end 28nm cards are called) are out, maybe in combo with a Sandy Bridge-E hex core.

Someone traded a bunch of RPGs into my local game store and I picked up the following...
I have been searching for complete copies of both PS1 games for a few years and finally found them locally. Whoever owned these took great care of them.

Never watched 30 Rock thus far, but I got it for a nice price and because of all that praise, I thought I should get it.
I also played AC1 years ago and never thought about 2, now I got it new and cheap.

That's nice to hear, because I thought AC1 was an OK-game.
