The end of April owned me. Post your favorite April pick-ups. I'll catch up later.

EDIT - Here are mine...

 

[Blablurn]

Moto 360

 

[kuroneko0509]

Bravely Second CE

 

[Thoraxes]

Kill la Kill Volume 5

My collection is now complete!

Also got these two games from Best Buy. With GCU they each were like $16 with GCU. Very nice and I haven't played either yet. Watch Dogs runs kind of poopy but i'm playing Mordor at 4k no problem.

Denki-Gai Volume 2

 

[foobarry81]

End of April was fairly calm compared to the previous months on the pick-up side of things. At least the stuff that's already arrived.

Some Asian releases: Lost in the Rain (PS3) and Oreshika: Tanited Bloodlines (PSVita) English versions

And some amiibos:

 

[Fallout-NL]

That's kinda awesome.

 

[Gskyace]

I love Naughty Dog.
My father bought Crash for me on PS1 for the first game, and I really enjoyed.
Then I play Crash race with him. Quite cool memory for both of us.
Uncharted is the first game I play overnight for 20 hours without sleeping.
Uncharted 2 offers the first opportunity for me, to make myself a insider,probably.

Got a Treasure Hunter edition with signatures from Ebay. Quite expensive, but worth it.

with media preview edition

All the limited I got is here. Still waiting for Batman and MGS5

Bloodborne CE from europe

I got this from a friend from a brand which is green.

I just can not recall if I've posted this in Neogaf in former thread.
#Make Toro the new mascot!# campaign must start right now

And pre-ordered Journey OST Vinyl x 3 and screen print x 5

 

[Will M]

Scouting out the local game store:

What a thrill:

 

[thenexus6]

Book for my Sisters birthday and SD for my new phone

Sorry for potato quality.

 

[Solideliquid]

&#63743;&#8986;&#65039;SS 42 BSB

 

[jonno394]

My April GBA purchase was probably my best pick up last month and it's determining what I'm gonna be spending my gaming cash on going forward!

These arrived today: Zelda DX for the GBC (went usa as it has a gold box) and Omega Quintet LE (enjoyed the neptunia games so gonna sample another of compile hearts titles)

 

[BOTEC]

To commemorate the return of Dragon Ball to television with Super, I decided to revisit some of the *ahem* classics from the era.

This joke was originally about Dragon Ball XenoVerse, but these games took a damn month to get to me, so I amended it.

 

[Rival]

Pictures of my new pc build incoming!

 

[Elginer]

New L desk. Been needing a new desk for years and my girlfriend's idea of moving my old desk caused it to finally fall apart. So, got this one at Walmart for 89 bucks on sale. Was a pain in the ass to put together.

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood
Been looking forward to this since it was announced. This and The Witcher III [physical release] are my gaming pick ups for May.

 

[LiK]

Just arrived ^_^

 

[The Shapesmith]

Finally jumped into the Vita pool and bought a ton of clearance games at Target and a digital copy of Jeanne D'arc.

Im on my phone so hope the pic isnt a giant monstrosity.

 

[Frank Serpico]

&#63743;&#8986;&#65039;SS 42 BSB

Very nice, ordered same model but I have a June shipping date

 

[Olengie]

Overlord and Shellshock 2 were from Gamestop. I kindly asked an employee if I can have the boxart/manual for Resonance of Fate and he let me have it. Had RoF as disc only for a while and now it's complete.

Everything below that was from Gamestop's 4 for 10.

 

[sixteen-bit]

 

[Aubergine]

I picked up some interesting things in the last days of April.

Big fan of Mega64, and I couldn't resist picking up the Snapback hat they put out recently. Also pictured here is Rodea the Sky Soldier which was a gift from a friend. He grabbed that because he didn't think it would ever get localized, and then the announcement came, so he decided to send it my way since I do translation stuff. I actually don't know much about this game or series, but I'm interested to try it out!

Keeping with the freebie theme, here's some stuff that was literally trash to someone else. There's a store here in town called 2nd & Charles that specializes in trading in all kinds of media, and they have some freebie bins out front exposed to the elements. Don't really know why the Skylanders set was out there, both the game and figure portal work. The UDraw thing is missing the tablet though, but for free, why not?

The only stuff I ended up spending a good deal of money on was my most recent import order. I can't wait to get into these games...I'm looking at you Style Savvy

welcome to VitaGAF
I should get myself a Vita 2000 down the line

 

[CoachKevin]

Was in Tokyo last week and bought a ton of stuff!












And a bonus pick up from eBay! Brand new for $160! Worth every penny!

 

[LocknessMobster]

Picked this up today. Best pickup to date

Damn kev,

I'm going to have to look into those Gradius and Salamander games for Saturn. I'm going in on Japanese saturn games, there's loads of good stuff out there. How much did you pay for power drift?

 

[dodgeme]

Since everyone else likes to share their shoe purchases I figured I'd join in.

I quite liked the colorway and there was a decent deal on them so I grabbed them.

Also got these at a thrift store, ignore the CD Player and DVD player those are ebay fodder, but the steering wheel was the big purchase. Cost me $10 bucks and I didn't know if it would work on my PC but sure enough it does and let me tell you steering wheels make driving games at least 10x better.

 

[NotSelf]

Finally something game related also more audio stuff.

I bought it for New Leaf.

Definitely the most expensive player i've ever bought.

 

[j0hnny_385]

13.59 EUR @ GMG, good price.

 

[Lichter]

Pre-owned PS3 Slim for 50€ with a controller. (with a broken optical drive but I don't care, I'll play only PS+ Games )

 

[7DollarHagane]

I have been striking out at the rummage sales so far. I feel like there won't be many good finds this year and I don't even feel like spending much time looking around as it's all "someone asked already" "we sold our nintendo last year" stuff.

But I did find a few things at retro stores and thrift shops, and ebay. Got an awesome box from japan as well.

Always heard good things about this game, found it for about $20, good deal, good condition.

Half price books had these street fighter figures 2 pack for $5. And i heard good things about winback and extreme g on back in my play, bought it for $5.

Added a new PS1 longbox game and Lethal Enforcers 2 was $10 and nice shape.

And the best part: a package from GAF's own Cheesemeister. It was a trade for some NES games he sent me a lot of awesome saturn titles. I would recommend him if you want to find some japanese games and have them sent to you. He did a great job, can't wait to dig into these.

 

[L.O.R.D]

already have it on my steam account , but its very rare to see my local shop sell PC games
also i liked this game alot

 

[plidex]

Crossfire time!

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

Just got a great deal. The original gameboy was almost mint. The gameboy color was missing the battery cover, but got mario land 2,pokemon pinball, pokemon yellow,kirby, tetris, gameboy printer and a case for only 55 bucks Everything in the picture. Wow

 

[LegendX48]

First pick up of the month and no where near the last:

If you're wondering why there's some deodorant in this pic it is because I only went to Target for deodorant but then saw that the game was on sale for $40 and the rest is history lol

 

[ys45]

Picked up my CDJapan order today and was surprised to see that Sayonara Umihara Kawase came with a little figure and a Pin/button.
And some retro games , been looking for Castle of illusion and Sonic for a while Was pretty happy to find them both at a decent price in good shape .

 

[AgentOtaku]

dam bro!

(O___o)

 

[Csokis]

TEAC UD-301 DSD DAC + Klotz USB cable + Cordial stereo RCA cable

 

[Dangerblade]

PS1 Optimus Prime - Saw somebody else on NeoGAF link to it and I couldn't resist.

Push Start: The Art of Video Games - Beautiful coffee-table style book, also comes with a record.

SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis Collected Works - Another beautiful art book.

ToeJam & Earl magnets/Sonic & Knuckles keyring - There's a guy on eBay that makes these for loads of different series, really high quality.

Dead Snow 2 - Loved the first film, doubt this will be as good but looking forwards to it either way.

Cards Against Humanity - The latest 3 releases.

Dexter playing cards - I have a thing for playing cards and thought these looked cool. I was wrong, though, they all have very basic designs. A bit shit overall.

 

[andylsun]

Cross posting from the Headphone thread (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1029724)

April pickup, but back from travel and starting to use them more. The best headphones I've ever owned, and hopefully the end game for my home headphone purchases. Still need a really good pair of IEM's.

 

[frankielprd]

Finally will be able to read this one

Nice Stax, I have a pair of SR-404 myself, enjoy them!

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

Already own Rising, but it was only 2€ here in Germany and I couldn't say no to it. I also picked up Anarchy Reigns for 10€ in the same store. Online is probably dead, but hopefully the singleplayer is good.

 

[Galdius]

Today I received a game that I wanted since I bought my Neo Geo AES some years ago but I never found it for a price that I was happy to pay. But last week I found a copy that wasn't cheap but since Neo Geo AES games are getting even more expensive I decided to finally buy it and now I don't regret it even a bit.

 

[Yes Boss!]

^^^^^

Super HOT!

That Nam-1975 AES cartridge is my favorite piece of gaming anything. Such a beauty. Display it proudly!

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Managed to find this for a decent price. I have never played a Metroid Prime game, so might as well start at the start.

Thanks!
I just played it for the first time ever and it's great. I died a LOT. I will have to practice many times this one but it is really fun to play. There are no menus and just a bit of story before you are thrown into the game and start having to kill the soldiers. The weekend can't come fast enough.

 

[The12thGripper]

When I first joined GAF, I really wanted to posting my pickups on here because it was one of my favorite threads to look through as a lurker. I did my first month but never again for some reason but I want to fix that! Posting everything I've gotten since that month is a little overkill (and I doubt I'd remember everything) so I'm going to limit myself to the stuff I've picked up this year so far.

Amiibos! I love amiibos. I've done my best to get all the currently available ones in the US. I did import most of Wave 3 but I've got all of Wave 4 pre-ordered in the US outside of Greninja, which is coming from the UK.

Good handful of Wii U games here, been meaning to get a physical copy of Ducktales for some time now.

Just 1 Xbox One game! I only have it for exclusives, pretty excited for Scalebound and Quantum Break; whenever those come out.

Made a bit of an effort to clear out my Vita wishlist (and only to add a bunch of new games to it afterwards.)

Been playing through Xenoblade like a madman since I got it, getting pretty close to the end now!

Really wanted to play the original Paper Mario for sometime and decided to get it along with a couple others!

Never played Okami before (I got this) and wanted to change that. Very happy this has English text because I love me some physical games.

My SNES library is super tiny so I took the plunge and bought Earthbound (and some other games as well.) Very happy.

And of course a New 3DS XL to play Xenoblade on! Even if Xenoblade didn't come out for it, I would have bought this thing anyway. I'm a sucker for Nintendo stuff.

 

[Amory]

Pretty big pickup for me today

2011 BMW 328i X-drive

Genuinely sad to leave my old Honda behind (got 156,000 miles out of the old girl) but I'm really enjoying the new ride

 

[djSyndrome]

On Friday we closed on a brand new home. Seven months between signature and closing was a long wait, but worth it.

Since I clearly hadn't taken on enough debt, the next afternoon I finally scratched an itch that has been persisting since the first concepts were revealed five years ago.
