Vanilla was $100, TBC was $60 and Wrath was $50, all plus S&H.
Nooooo way. I just don't have a lot of space to display everything. Lot of stuff in my closet and in various bins.

Here's my favorite pickup of 2014. Final Fantasy X HD Remaster Collector's Edition for PS3, along with the Japanese FFX HD Remaster Vita Bundle. I love white systems, so once they showed the first images of this Vita, I instantly preordered it. Unfortunately, I went through an online shop that I had never heard of, and wound up getting screwed out of $300. Ordered another one from Nippon Yasan and got it in the beginning of January.

Which shop was it? I´d like to know so I can avoid that kind of shop in case I come across some deal.
Beautiful Vita indeed, though I wish this LE came with the OLED model, I´d have gotten it over a vanilla OLED model as I also prefer white systems.
Couple pics of mine, which I got last month. Bought it used from yahoo auctions, but it is pretty much brand new, no nicks whatsoever. I have to change the screen protector though, there´s a few scratches on it. Nothing major but I want it to be perfect, hehe

Finally, I can play Master System carts with the FM sound through my Genesis/Jp Mega Drive! I'm interested on how the FM on this thing is gonna sounds when compared to my Japanese Master System.

It was a rough weekend but:
Started the PC build:
Obviously not gaming, but psyched to get it.

Sega Ages. I've been playing Out Run 2 and loving it I relaized I never played Space Harrier or After Burner II, so what better place to start than arcade perfect ports of those games? Not sure about After Burner II, but Space Harrier is pretty damn cool.
Also got a fangamer Zelda book, a sort of Guide to Hyrule, with loads of cool illustrations of the flora and fauna of Hyrule and info about Hylian culture and such. Very cool.
Here's the book's page, whoch has some page samples.

Nice system! Honestly, the LCD isn't bad. You get used to it.
The shop was Nin-Nin-Game.com. Definitely stay clear!
Bought this earlier in the month.
Couldn't resist these good sales (+10% discount).
Saw this for $50 on Amazon and had to pick it up.
Transmission finally gave out on my old '94 model so this just became my biggest pickup of the year. It's only January and this pretty much tapped me out for a few months. So...
That looks great... but your Ho-oh is dying or something. It bothers me ;DAlso my shelves came:

I had gotten a PS3 for Christmas, so later on I figured I would do my homework on character action games with the DMC games (though this is the second time I've played DMC4). I was also interested in MGR, so I grabbed that too.
I enjoyed MGR much more than any of the DMC games, please don't kill me

Wow, very nice!
Bah. I just ordered Puyo Puyo Tetris from them last week and found out they don't have it in stock, they said they'll ship it to me next week. Not getting good impressions from this company, hopefully my order comes next week.

My experience was the following:
Pre-order in October/November for December 26 release. Charged full amount on pre-order.
December 26 rolls around, no update. Get a FedEx tracking number on the 28th or so, figure things are just slow after the holidays. No big deal, I'm in no rush.
Days go by, and the tracking page never sees an update. Email them, they assure me it's gone out and that FedEx is just being lazy.
More time goes by, still no movement. Call PayPal, tell them the situation, they give me a provisional credit while they "investigate".
Email Nin-Nin again, tell them I'm disputing the payment and that I know they simply provided me a tracking number for a package that doesn't actually exist (they just printed the label for the number and gave it to me, never put it on a box to ship it out). Two days later, they tell me they shipped it out with a new tracking number. I never received that one, either.
PayPal tells me that there's nothing they can do and they take back my provisional credit. Since I paid with a debit card, my bank wasn't able to help me either.
TL;DR - Always use a credit card when buying shit online and research your retailers with experienced buyers. It was an expensive mistake I made.

$105 shipped. Which is more than I wanted to spend, but I guess not too bad considering the price of some other games I want.
I also bought another fire emblem game which I paid much much less for.

Sadly, it's only Miku, Rin, and Len. If there's a second series with Meiko and Luka in it, I'm in trouble.
