I went to a new game store nearby, and picked these up:

-San Francisco Rush 2049 (N64)
-Star Wars: Rebel Assault (Sega CD)

I also just ordered Gundam Extreme Vs. (PS3) and Virtual-On Force (Xbox 360) from Amazon.

Kind of went crazy importing soundtracks from Japan during Christmas. The Mario Galaxy one is from the European Club Nintendo stars shop.

 

[braves01]

While I'm going to enjoy Ultimax, I have no idea what to do with this.

Lol, I got that too with mine. I think I might ebay that and the tarot cards.

Sorry for big pictures!

 

[nekobi]

Technically got these in Dec for Christmas but only just now getting around to posting them.

Japanese Wii U + Hori Taiko arcade controller! I love it SO MUCH! <3 <3 I completely splurged on this overpriced thing, but I really miss the arcade machines in Japan, so I find it worth it.

This month's import game pick-ups. Still haven't yet opened FF Explorers as Youkai Watch is currently taking all of my gaming time.

And had to post this. The giant pixel art treasure chest everything was packed in on Christmas morning, hehe. ^-^

Well, not really. All joking aside, finally pulled the trigger that had been itching for 18 months. My new TV is a 55" Sony Bravia (55X9005B). Why is it on the floor? Because my old Bravia, which although smaller, weighs more and is impossible to lift just by myself. I could lift the new one with no problems.

TV is going into a repairshop today. ):

There are two vertical lines displayed at all times on every screen. Either a display panel or backlight issue. Not happy. Transporting this behemoth is horrible.

That blows. Surely sony should replace it on the spot?

I don't know what they do. I do know that the Sony reseller here uses two third party repairshops, so they will take the TV there, those guys will probably fuck with the set and then provide an opinion.

Of course I would prefer if they replaced the device outright. But I know that they do not have these models at hand in abundance over here.

If they start taking a piss, I have a 14 day refund policy to fall back on. But I also do want that TV. Here's a shot of the defect in action - depending on screen content, there are two vertical lines that run across the entire screen.

The fuck!

Grabbed Tetris from the eShop before it got axed (technically in 2014).

And finally got Marth to complete my Amiibo collection.

A few things from the Holidays and just after!

Some new games for our little game night. Played Abyss last night for the first time and it was a lot of fun! It seems so complex at first, but is actually extremely simple.

A few games and a few movies. Not shown here is the duh pickup of Guardians of the Galaxy. Also grabbed MGS:GZ and Nidhogg from the recent PSN sale, and a new Samsung 48 H6350 to play em all on when my sad old TV started switching Input Source at random times.

This makes me happiest though. It really is packed with great art and way more 'commentary' than I expected.

 

[simpleton]

Here's my stuff from the end of the year:

Most notable is the UK release of Infamous: First Light (currently only available as DLC in North America last I checked), and some more work on my home theater equipment rack in my basement.

First pickup thread post! And third overall!

Finally decided to pick it up. Been wanting to play something different and it seemed like the right time to do it. Need to find some more zany and fun games, as well as RPGs, which is the main reason I picked the system up. Also, Pokemon because... Pokemon.

 

[Moldiver]

Time to start the new build, haven't finalised my components but have the case and it was on offer so picked it up.

[AdmiralMikey]

My pickups from December! So I got Disney Infinity on a Black Friday sale, and I asked for a lot of Disney Infinity figures for Christmas, and my family certainly delivered! There's only a couple 2.0 Marvel Figures I don't have, and most of the Disney ones I don't want (No thank you, Maleficent and Merida).

Plus, some neat game deals and Christmas gifts.

Wow, did you find somewhere with a deal on the Wii U, Controller and Game?

Top 5 of 2014.

Very nice! I had that Akira print hanging on my wall for a couple years and finally had to sell it when I hit some financial hard times. Was very sad to see it go, being my favorite print I owned. But it was basically $1000 hanging on my wall and I needed the money. Glad you've got one! (and there were only like 180 of them ever made I think!)

What's crazy is I was at the event where they were sold for $60. I had a bunch of friends who could have bought them and passed on doing so. They definitely kicked themselves later for that one. (They could have bought 2 even, a regular and a variant, so they threw away 2 grand.)

edit - that ghost in the shell is gorgeous btw, I want one of those.

 

[//ARCANUM]

While I'm going to enjoy Ultimax, I have no idea what to do with this.

you pour water in the bottom and you blow air into the top. then you figure out where the hell to put it.

 

[CoachKevin]

Picked up some cheap DS games from Gamestop. Pretty sure I am the first person to play Henry Hatsworth on a New Nintendo 3DS.





Also some good deals from eBay:

 

[New002]

New paintball gun!

CCM S6.5 Pump. So pumped. Pun intended.

 

[srst]

Came in the mail today. Ordered this on Boxing Day for $44 from The Source.

 

[Badlucktroll]

uggh i bought alot of digital games this season. Its almost like, if i buy digital, i don't feel like i legit own the game. I like to have the game box on my shelf. Do any of you feel this way as well? I bought like 7 games digital that had retail releases.

 

[8BitsAtATime]

New Watch

 

[dodgeme]

Have not posted my game pick ups in a while so I got a few of these in late december but heres my recent additions. Had to get Oneechanbara even though I don't understand a lick of Japanese, fun as hell to pointlessly hack and slash though.

 

[WarAdept]

I can't wait till I get home from work so I can post all 50 bajillion Amiibos I got for Christmas and while on holiday in Canada and South Korea.

 

[Fantomex]

New Watch

Awesome watch. Japan trip purchase?

 

[nekobi]

Sadly, no, but the yen is pretty weak right now so I went for it!

I'd be giving sony a call directly if I was you (I assume you bought it new), it's ridiculous to have a brand new tv in to be repaired.

 

[ChristianTW]

Some late Christmas stuff:

Pictures of the GPUs in my PC:

Getting a bunch of new audio equipment tomorrow as well.

 

[CHusson91]

New Watch

Awesome! Where did you get this?

 

[Drama Zed Nod]

Sadly, no, but the yen is pretty weak right now so I went for it!

May i ask how much it all cost together?

I would love this but i already have a Wii U so having a second for this would be pretty extravagant. I loved playing this game in Japan though. it's such a blast.

 

[Voidance]

Awesome! Where did you get this?

It is a white Pebble with a downloaded watch face. And it looks sharp as hell.

 

[dperrin]

New Watch

Where did you get that Watch Face? I need it!

 

[Midn1ght]

PS4 + DriveClub and The Last of Us.

Finally joining the PS4 Club.

Here you go.

If your in the UK, that would be classed as an inherent fault and you are well within your rights to demand a replacement and not accept a repair.

 

[dperrin]

Here you go.

Thank you kindly sir!

First pickups of the new year! There are a few sale items on their way to me at the moment, but there's enough here to deserve a new post.

That's my Strike collection completed (Desert, Jungle and Urban on SNES; Nuclear and Soviet on PS1), and I'm really happy with the condition of Jungle Strike in particular - it's pretty much mint and had the box protector included by the seller. On that note, I need to buy myself a few more protectors when Sentinel64 have them back in stock...

FFXIII-2 was a birthday gift, and also there is the hardback collectors edition guide for Lightning Returns. While I don't yet have Lightning Returns in my collection, for £2 delivered I couldn't really pass up the guide - and it's a really nice looking book.

Oh, and incredible, FFXIII-2 actually comes with a 'proper' physical manual!

 

[wampa1]

Coming out of my long time lurking mode...

Here's my Amiibo collection - all through Amazon (and &#12510;&#12523;&#12473; through Nippon-yasan before the prices skyrocketed/went OOS)

Various mostly-survival-horror themed PS3 & Wii games picked up through eBay, Play-Asia, and Bookoff in NYC. Happy to get a very rare copy of Ju-on the Grudge for $30 and Project Zero 2 which never came out here.

Some Nintendo World Store pickups - NES t-shirt, NES pouch, Squid plush, and Nendoroid Link was pricey at $45 but it's great quality so definitely no regrets

And some other shots at the Nintendo World Store in NYC, first time in Nintendo Mecca!!

Amiibos in stock

Game and Watch!

Love the Famicom GBA and Gulf War Gameboy

Tanooki Mario farting on Link

 

[Koppai]

So I ordered a used copy of Hyperdimension Neptunia from GameFly for $14.99 a few weeks ago,

And they sent me the LE:

Holy shit, wasn't expecting this. I really wanted to try this game, as well as Atelier Rorona, and Drakengard 3 since they were all $14.99 each

 

[lem0n]

Pokemon X, MVMT Gold watch, and South Park. Got SP for $9.99 at Wal-Mart, price matched K Mart a few days ago

Stopped in the pawn shop to see my buddy that works there today, walked out with a Samsung Tab 10.1 for like $80 out the door. Homie hookups are awesome lol. Total impulse buy.

 

[nekobi]

May i ask how much it all cost together?

I would love this but i already have a Wii U so having a second for this would be pretty extravagant. I loved playing this game in Japan though. it's such a blast.

It ended up costing ~$680 for the Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle, Taiko no Tatsujin Tokumori, and the Arcade Pro controller. About $100 of that was shipping charges via FedEX. I ordered from Nippon-Yasan. They usually have some pretty awesome pricing but I do warn you that their customer service isn't always the best and sometimes can be downright rude. ^^; But sometimes it's worth it, especially since Play-Asia had the controllers marked up $100+ over retail.

But yeah, it's a lot of money to spend (especially since we already owned a US Wii U) but it's one of my favorite games of all time, so I went for it. I figure there will be other games I'll want to play down the road that won't be released here anyway and if Nintendo ever decides to remove the region locking, I'll just sell my US one.

Traded in my modded '07 328xi(cry). Needed something larger and safer...my fiance and I are having our first baby this summer!
