Lots of Japanese car magazines...And a D1 Street Legal drift DVD
It's from here http://www.strikesp.com/ (all five HighSchool figures are) It seems that it's sold out too. If I see any store that sell it where I bought anything before I'll PM you.Liquid_015 said:

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Not so much a "purchase" this time, as I actually traded in a few games I had doubles of for this small lot.
With GS's bonus 50% trade-in deal, I basically managed an even flip of Mortal Kombat, GTAIV, and a crappy Pokemon spin-off DS game for Child of Eden, Folklore, and Valkyria Chronicles II.
Realized I didn't use my B2G1 coupon, though; so I'll probably do a return/rebuy tomorrow and grab another "freebie".
I have ZERO idea what to expect from Folklore... but everyone in this thread always seems to recommend it... so why not?
Also replaced my dying Gamecom 777 headset with a new one, and snagged a $31 DS3 at Walmart.

With my free Amazon Prime account I just had to pick these up.
TF2: I know people disliked it, but I personally liked Revenge of the Fallen.
Toy Story 3: My personal favorite movie to date.

Is this series available on DVD anywhere?Sylver said:
Only 4 figures in my wishlist to complete and close my collection (1 is already out but its sold out everywhere even on ebay
Edit: Found it on amazon.co.uk and pre-ordered it. Coming out end of august!
Finally - after 11 months of wait - my first post on NeoGAF and since I am an everyday lurker of the Pick-Up-Threads I decided to post here first
So here we go:
Infinite Space - I don't even own a (3)DS, but it was so cheap (8,50), so couldn't say "no".
(Still pretty cheap - 8 without shipping - on Amazon.de-Marketplace)
New EDGE - finally arrived today after a "journey" of one week from the UK to Germany ...
Vinyl version (including the CD) of the new Casper album XOXO. He's a German Hip Hop artist. A pretty good one, who really deserves the "artist"
David Lynch 5 - a 5 DVD box containing Eraserhead, a documentary and most of all the shorts of Lynch. Was around 30 and it's the first "non-bootleg" version of Eraserhead in Germany. Finally some label released it!
Downside of the pick-up: There is a scratch on the fifth DVD, probably happened on it's way from label to retailer ... contacted the label, let's see what happens.

The first (less amazing) part of my pickups for the month have arrived!
First a few books:
Fight Club - One of my favourite films - finally going to get around to reading the book (which I hear is amazing, even compared to the film)
The Magicians - Have heard a lot of good stuff about this book on GAF, so I thought I'd give it a go
A legend of a man, so going into this with pretty high expectations - should be a great read
Next we have a couple of gaming gems I never completed back in the day:
Have got them both running nicely on PCSX2, so hopefully playing them in glorious HD will finally give me the incentive to complete them! Have also got X-2 on the way, as I remember really enjoying that too.
And finally (for today):
An awesome little portable speaker for taking to Bug Jam (Volkswagen festival) where I'm camping with some friends this weekend
Much more to follow!

Great month! I also grabbed a couple of games on the Steam sale (Deus Ex, Amnesia, Crysis, L4D1/2), put down pre-orders for Skyrim and Halo: CEA, and ordered a few CD's that have yet to arrive.
Since there's more than a few oddity's in the picture I guess I should annotate;
The headphones dividing the picture are Sennheisser CX870's, and they are my favourite pick-up of the month.
The left half is all Bungie Swag Bag, and consists of; 3 identical but cool-looking Halo: Uprising posters, the first installation CD for the complete Myth collection, an ilovebees DVD with all the sound files and some behind the scenes stuff, a neat Halo 3 wallet, a random piece of card marked San Diego comic-con 2009 with ODST artwork on one side and the controls on the other which I guess was given out to people trying the demo, the 3rd Season of Red Vs Blue on DVD (yay), a sealed copy of the ancient Mac game Weekend Warrior that was published by Bungie, an awesome limited edition Halo 3 controller (YAY), and two action figures - the first a Halo 3 Master Chief and the second a Halo: Reach Elite Commando w/ Concussion Rifle.
The right half of the picture on the other side of the headphones consists of a few books (Hyperion, ADWD, Bad Science by Ben Goldacre, Cosmos, The Hunger Games, and the two volumes that make up Halo: Evolutions), a few movies (TSN + Gran Torino on DVD and Band of Brothers on blu-ray), and last of all, games - Civ 4, because everybody always raves about how awesome it is and besides that it's dirt cheap nowadays, Infamous 2, which I could only use my pro Paint skillz to imitate as I lent it to a friend, and Metro 2033 for 360.
I'm basically set for the rest of the year what with all that and the Steam games/pre-orders.

Thats awesome, I have the Saeko one only.
Were do you buy them? Im waiting to see if they release a Saeko with her awesome battling uniform (the one she most has in the manga and anime) but where I bought the other was a japanese online shop that doesnt sell anymore figures +18 outside japan (and I had problems with the price increase in customs).
Would be grateful to know were you bought them, thanks in advance.
ResidentDante said:
I bought the US BD Version and JP BD Version, and OVA at YesAsia all of them are already out. If you don't want to wait it's a great option.
All five were bought here: http://www.strikesp.com/ the last two were pre-ordered on 10/27/2010 and the first three on 09/25/2010.SpacePirate Ridley said:
I saw them available at http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english some time ago. They sell +18 figures and YesAsia too, I've bought some +18 figures to them without trouble.

Also got Ocarina of Time 3D soundtrack from Club Nintendo, and bought The Human Abstracts new album.

We have Torrente :-D (All 4 BD movies).
Awesome, hahaha.
How does Torrente 1 look in HD? I would probably want to puke watching all the dirt that movie has in HD (the father, apartment...)
And from what I can see Torrente 2 boxart looks epic!

How much did that run you?
I still didn't watch them, just bought this afternoon. I will try them later at night.SpacePirate Ridley said:
Here's the boxart for Torrente 2:
Love those movies XD, the last one not so much, but
well all of them are pretty funny. The first one is awesome.Contrast is 1.000.000:1. The LED TVs are similar by now but when I bought it (+1 year ago) was gorgeus.AwesomeSauce said:
549 at ebay (dutch seller). I'm searching for 2 more XEL-1 TV's. I want a 3 like monitor for PC gaming but they blew everywhere
and Sony ceased the production time ago.
