Great deal on an android stick $24 for the stick and dock.
Then you fuckers got me afraid that all the amiibos that I liked were going to be bought up and never available again so I am slowly getting the ones that I like. Too bad the amiibos dont act like skylanders or infinity characters and let me play as them in the games.

Read nonstop praise on Gaf so I caved despite being 50/50 on it back when I rented it like two (3?) months ago.

I was the same! Give it a fair shake, try to shake off what some of the more recent racers have conditioned you into thinking about how things should work. Learn to drift and brake effectively and it will click.

That's one of the issues I'm running into, if its not Mario Kart then I can't drift to save my life >_>

A few new games that I wanted to play for some time now and two Vita games for the collection (I had already posted Epic Mickey 2 but now I have it with me, my friend who had bought it shipped to me last week).

Someone has to explain this KAWS thing to me. It seems like he just takes existing characters and then makes their heads into skull and bones. I don't get the appeal.

I don't know much in terms of the history of KAWS/vinyl toys as I've just started getting into it. I think it's just his style. He is essentially doing just what you said but there's probably a deeper meaning behind it that is sort of implied. For instance, another artist by the name of Ron English periodically redesigns popular characters such as fast food mascots, but he also applies social commentary to the designs (i.e. portraying Ronald McDonald as obese to comment on America/The World's fast food habits). People who aren't familiar with KAWS or don't know his history may find the character redesigns (without context) to be unoriginal.

TL;DR KAWS' style and early work in vinyl toys/streetwear has made him a very popular and well-respected artist, which is why his pieces typically have high price tags.

After reading Kurt Kalata's excellent Castlevania book, this one was a no-brainer. I've been wanting to delve more into classic Sega anyway, so this seemed like a great place to start. Also Club Nintendo Mario Golf balls.

A new Vita to replace my 1000 series unit, which will go into storage.

Almost done with my Quintet collection

Same goes for Castlevania — only a few games to go

The day this game launched, my copy came from the second shipment, meaning no CE for me. Making up for that finally.

And with this I now have an English language, original format version of every Final Fantasy game. Can't wait to dig into it.
 
My new gaming rig! After years of sitting on the fence I'm no longer partial to only consoles. I managed to put together a build with a local shop that met my requirements of fitting into my existing entertainment cabinet. Very happy camper right now. I've been using it over the last couple of days and am extremely happy with it's performance thus far.

Little pickup from the last month or so. ;)

And the full set of the sadly defunct Nintendo Gamer magazine.
Had a digital subscription to the magazine before it closed down and always wanted to grab the back catalogue digitally. But the whole deleting of the store front for this magazine put a halt to that plan.
So physical was the only option in the end.

Such a fun and brilliant magazine. :(

Here is what I've picked up so far


and since Lord of Illusions was a Scream Factory collector's edition it came with this 18x24 poster, which I've already framed and mounted.



Not Pictured: Resident Evil Remastered HD (PSN/PS3), Sleeping Dogs (PSN/PS3), After Burner II 3D (3DS), Jan/Feb Horror Block (cause I haven't gotten it yet), and the digital version of Super Mario Galaxy 2.

I picked up some Transformers G1 prints for my new flat - they look great - I can forgive the Optimus Prime cab being the new design and not the original. The new flat doesn't qualify for the January thread as I finally bought it in December... but thought I'd give it a mention too!

Apologies about the photo quality from my phone...
Holy crap man where did you get these? I need them in my life

My favorite game ever and holy grail.

Paid a little bit more than I wanted to but it's complete, including all the inserts. Looks like I just picked it up from the store.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Wow...where did you get Kingdom Heart 3D for that price ? Is it a new copy ?

A nice little selection of pickups this week. Captain Toad dropped to a low enough price for me to take the plunge, while Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII was a cheap sale purchase to complete the FFXIII trilogy (and complement the £2 guide that I got from GAME a couple of weeks ago!).

Finally, Starwing will make a nice addition to my small SNES collection. I still love the Corneria music.


Oh, and I got a pre-order in for the Majora's Mask 3D 3DS XL - but clearly, the picture for that will need to wait for February's thread!
