Last few weeks or so...
Amano's The Sky Slipcase Edition.
Super Mario Land and Super Mario Land CD, both cost me 99 cents at good will. The CD has a few versions of a rap song with the SML theme. Any information on where the CD came from is appreciated.
More from Good Will. Games were 99 cent, GBA was $3.99
Got the all $1.99. Good Will again.
$2.99 each. Did I tell you how much I love Good Will?
And finally SMT IV. My first 3DS game. Don't have a 3DS yet lol.

it's funny that I stumbled over this just a last week
Wow, that Lovecraft collection looks great.

Is there some kind of inside "joke" in this pic?

Lol, I would be lying if I said the song isn't catchy. looks like its going for $30 and up on E-bay.
I got some neat items.
Brink molotov press kit, really nice.
Dishonored press kit, incl. replica mask, metal poster, guidebook, keychain, tarrot cards and promo
Another Bethesda kit in the same style, i have not seen a single one of this ever!
Skyrim pk, including steelbook, tshirt, postcards, map, soundtrack sampler
And the Darksiders art of war book, really in pretty much perfect condition.

Yeah, I saw that lol... I guess the actual CD is hard to find now?
You paid $900 pesos for it?! YIKES! D:
If you don't mind me asking... how much was the shipping to SA?
Well buying it on Amazon or GS and getting it shipped over here to DF from the US would have more or less been the same, and I just had terrible urges to play it so I caved in. Worth every damn peso, love this game. I think it balances out in the end since I usually am a cheapass for pickups, though I do miss living near the US border.
As for more late month pickups, two classic movies on Bluray for $100 MXN which were on a B1G2 promo on a local Mixup.
My account just got validated so I'm pretty excited to post my pick-ups from throughout the month.
I found my old Nintendo DS Phat in the basement after having abandoned it for the past 5 or so years. I picked up these off eBay to hopefully start a DS renaissance:
I also picked up this awesome case to hold my games off eBay (not a Club Nintendo member yet =\ )
I like this month's Game Informer because the cover is simplistic and has a much more quality feel:
I thought this shirt was too hilarious to pass up on. Damn those sites that only sell shirts for 24 hours.
And finally this here is the biggest pick-up of the month for me:
It's such a wonderful tablet.

direct shipping was out of the question cause USPS/FedEx charged crazy amounts and UPS was about the same as a courier but had the risk of being stopped at the border and being charged taxes
so I used a courier, Miami-Box, got the stick shipped to Miami then here. All in all = around $50. Package was 2.5kg
Barry Lyndon is tops. You really can't get much better than that. Marisa Berenson and Sarabande.
OUaTiA aint a slouch, either.
Yup, I hear Barry Lyndon is actually one of Kubrick's finest, pretty excited to watch it for the first time come next weekend, see if it dethrones Strangelove as my favorite Kubrick film. Really weird that I just can't find Strangelove for sale here in Mexico, will have to order it from Amazon or buy it next time I'm in the US.
Oh man, I hope that Strangelove love comes from a lack of seeing the others. That one is definitely in the bottom half with things like Full Metal Jacket, Spartacus, Eyes, and Clockwork. Tops is Barry Lyndon, followed by 2001, then Paths of Glory, then The Killing. You can throw away his Lolita. Even Adrian Lyne's Dominique Swain take on Nabs is better. Enjoy Lyndon. An impossible to see movie in decent 35mm and kinda crummily presented up until even a few years back. To be played at extremely high volume, the movie.
Out of those I've yet to watch Paths of Glory and The Killing which aren't readily available down here, all others you named I have watched and loved. There's just something about Strangelove that I can't quite explain that makes it my favorite, not to say I don't find his other films masterful, particularly 2001.
Will watch on my Bluray enabled laptop, with a digital amp through my Sennheisers as I can't really play stuff too loud since I'm in an appartment now.

A new red chrome Xbox 360 controller.
A blue 3DS XL.
And lastly, and personally, a very disappointing purchase...

Just picked this up on Saturday, cross posted from the two wheel thread.
Ducati Monster 1100 EVO
Congrats, looks great!
I admit I have done the same for a few games, but I usually use CD Universe.
Not too bad. A friend from USA gifted me a Vita, I don't remember if he used Fedex, UPS or DHL, but he paid a big amount to ship it (with tracking) to MX, he declared it as a gift with a value of $150 and I still had to pay around $50 when the delivery guy showed up.
With USPS the custom checks are random and I have never had to pay, but with UPS, DHL and Fedex, all packages are always declared at custom and import taxes have to be paid.

My girlfriend offered me this for my birthday:
Nice!
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Awesome pic!!!
of course the day I get Pikmin 3 is the day that everything is wet outside and cloudy so I can't take a wonderful garden/summer pic ... best I could do without getting myself wet.
There were even a bunch of snails there while I set this up (lower right corner, the black spot under that stone thing) but they had slimed away by the time I was ready to snap the pic
Thanks.
It's set 6346; here are the instructions for it. Happy building!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Some manga and a game I can't play (region locking <3 <3)
Oh that's a nice one. Looks like some Pikmin might pop into frame any second to carry the box away

haha thanks! Your picture reminds me of an underground cave!
There was a spider under that drain pipe, but it was too dark and tricky to get him in the shot.
