February was a short month, but man was it hectic. Here are my pick-ups from Feb!

Got these for my daughter. She collects both Neneroids and Amiibos!

Can you make out what both Ryu and Chun-Li are doing?

Cute new Bulma and Vegeta for my boo.

Not only am I addicted to collecting arcade sticks, I also collect controllers. :X

It is my humble opinion that Hajime No Ippo (anime) has some of the best OP intro/songs of all time.

I love me some Earthbound / Mother 2!

I also joined the DB Xenoverse army (a bit early) with the Japanese version.

Hope it doesn't taste like Chris' blood.

I could care less about Super Sonico but I love me TAITO.

Converse X JoJo's Bizarre Adventure OX JOII sneakers!

I also love me some Resident Evil!

I got really lucky with the gachapon machines in Tokyo. Only got two doubles and ended up getting the complete set!

YES. Castlevania Judgment's Simon Belmont, as designed by Takeshi Obata (Death Note).

Persona 5 was everywhere!

How's your sock rotation?

For the retro gaming lover in everyone. I feel like some RCR right now.

Got this controller for my daughter!

I love this shirt!

Extremely limited PlayStation Air Force 1s exclusive to the 2011 NBA All-Star Game festivities. More info on it here: http://solecollector.com/news/sc-spotlight-pickups-of-the-week-2-23-2015/

The rarest physical PS4 game yea?

OMG someone made me a Pusheen plush!

One of my favorite color combinations! These are Gamer Finger buttons that use cherry mechanical switches (same ones found in keyboards).

I already had the older Zelda 3DS units, but I got the new Majora's Mask one too!

Also got the Jordan 1 OG lows and a red new 3DS XL!

Vegeta and Bulma again?

New iPhone 6 case.

Dao Jin!

Some love from Nintendo <3 !

Can a mod please change the thread title to:

NeoGAF MARCH 2015 Pick-Up Post!! Show Us Your Gaming Goods (Real Pics or BAN)!

 

[Dangerblade]

Dexter comics
Took the plunge on #1 and #3...probably paid well over the odds for them, but I don't mind too much. I can read them now!

Kaki King - Junior
Looking forwards to her 7th album later this month, so picked this up to add to my collection.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth OST
I know most people seem to prefer the original OST, but as good as it is, I genuinely prefer this one. So good.

Toejam & Earl: Back in the Groove Kickstarter
My first Kickstarter backing. So hyped!

 

[gmfer]

I just came back from Vegas and couldn't help to get some stuff...

Surface Pro 3 - I wanted one so badly and finally got it, Core i5, 128 Gb SSD etc. Took advantage of USD 100 discount and a free sleeve. Love the device so far... it is so fast, sleek and light. I have tested with Steamstreming and it flies (helps that I have a new R9 285X). Amazing what Microsioft hardware can do, anyway, this will be helpful for the future MBA (time to go back to school).







Gaming wise I went to Gamer's Paradise and got some Dreamcast Games: Resident Evil Code Verónica, Crazy Taxi 1 & 2, Metrópolis Street Racer (love this one) and King Of Fighters Dream match 9999 (in the original box).



Non gaming but cool stuff, Chuck Taylors in gray leather, just love them... I walked so many miles in vegas with this bad boys. Bought them 1st day in town and I'm having a hard time getting them off..

Never realized how nice the all matching keyboard color of the SP3 looks

 

[Sinthetic]

First beauties of the month. I'll be back when I have time to take February pictures. I've had 150 volumes of Manga and a New 3DS with glow in the dark Boo cover plate if anyone wanted a teaser. ;D

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood Part 1 (Hardcover). (I've got the entire 16 Volumes of Stardust Crusaders due this month).

Nightcrawler (UK Steelbook)

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Nightcrawler (UK Steelbook)

I need this.

 

[Mutagenic]

That's a nice looking tablet.

 

[LegendX48]

first pick ups of the month

edit: Toon Link's got a blue strip on his left hand :|

 

[Suburban_Nooblet]

Hey Markman what is your annual salary breh?

I have watched your post for years... you would have to make 400k/year (in a flyover state to support your absurd spending habits)

Just curious.

 

[Ecto311]

Got at toys r us price matching Fred Meyer. $20 each so half price. They also have smash on 3ds for $20 but passed on it for now might get it later if it's worth having on 3ds also.

I'd rather not say how much I make on the internet. Sorry. Aside from my day job, I have 3 other side businesses that bring in income. That's all I can say.

 

[Diggeh]

Baymax Prototype Armor! I don't recall ever seeing this one announced. Bandai's stealth releases are insane.

OTACHI!

Heromaaaaaaaaaan...ENGAAAAAAGE!

Spoiler

Finally got around to watching Heroman! For the love of all things America, can we get a Season 2 already?

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Soooo I just came back from a month-long trip to Japan. My suitcase was mostly filled with onaholes (sex toys, because I... run a blog about them) BUT I still picked up a whole heap of gaming stuff.

New 3DS, Kirby faceplate, bunch of games. There were a few more Japanese-exclusive 3DS games I would have liked to get, but even second hand they were just too pricey.

Vita games.

PSP games. Yes, that's Bible Black on UMD Video (region free at that~)

Aaaand Oneechanbara on PS4, some DS stuff and chiptune albums. G&W Collection 2 was insanely cheap, pretty much grabbed it just so I can sell my Australian copy.

tl;dr broke as fuck now.

 

[DevilTakoyaki]

Raspberry Pi 2 running RetroPie and a SNES USB Controller.

It's so small!

 

[Qasiel]

Ok, so here's February's:

I've lost a bit of weight recently and decided to treat myself to a better-fitting t-shirt and some badly needed new skate shoes!

Next up, for the first time since I started playing around 17 years ago I went to my first Friday Night Magic and came 5/24! Quite chuffed and it's re-ignited my passion for the game. Also picked up an X-Wing Decimator.

And this month's (so far):

Late housewarming/birthday present. A friend made me a chest for my board games.

This month's Arcade Block arrived this morning

And I've just got round to sorting out a couple of Steam games. Thanks again, Feep!

 

[purpletentacle]

Mine from February:

Mega Man and Toon Link:

And a friend brought this back from Japan:

It's really easy to set up. The only thing I had problems with at the beginning was exiting a game with the gamepad. But I followed a tutorial and had to add two lines of code, that's it. Works great now.

There's some good vids in the thread Chairhome linked to.

What is that Gurren Lagann thing?

 

[Maximus.]

Went full Zelda for the new 3DS XL launch.

Picked up some movies and Sopranos for really cheap!

Always wanted the Animated Batman figures when the show was on TV, perfect timing to jump in with these anniversary figures!

Some recent Amiibo pickups.

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

Picked the game up for just 5&#8364; in Holland. Should probably play the predecessor first.

Birthday gifts!

 

[foobarry81]

Picked the game up for just 5€ in Holland. Should probably play the predecessor first.

I only played through the Wii game. Playing the predecessor isn't really necessary imo. There are some references to the previous game, but I never felt like I was missing out on something. The story is fairly straightforward anyway.

 

[AdmiralMikey]

So... I went a little nuts in my game pickups this month. A disappointment in current home console gaming combined with seeing the Final Fantasy: Distant Worlds concert last month has rekindled the fire for classic gaming, and I put out that fire with frequent trips to my local retro game shops, Amazon and eBay, resulting in this spread of purchases...

And on top of that, this was New 3DS month! At the beginning of the month, I purchased an import system, out of curiosity to try out the new system AND to see what exclusive 3DS games are out there in Japan! A couple weeks later, my luckily pre-ordered US Majora's Mask new 3DSXL would arrive, along with a couple game pickups...

And lastly, with all the Final Fantasy games on PSP, my love for that system has resurfaced. However, I found that the red paint on the back of my God of War special edition system was quickly chipping off. So I scoured my local Gamestops and found a brand new system to buy, along with a number of cheap games, on sale for buy 2 get 1 free!

I probably won't have a one-month haul similar to this for a very, very long time.

mission nerdy notebook....accomplished

 

[eXistor]

Well the photo turned out badly, but you get the idea.

 

[simpleton]

Here's all my pickups over the past month. Retro stuff is pretty hard to find around here right now so I've mostly been buying for the 360 and PS3 since they are pretty cheap.

Picked up this fairly inexpensive but really nice (in my opinion) Ultron.

My growing collection of desk items at work..

This guy finally came in, I have spot for him on my desk

Some PSN purchases as well

Finally played enough of the base game of CAH that my group demanded some expansions. Also, Superfight is insanely fun
