Here are some of my favorite pickups from Sept!

Just got back from Singapore where I found a bunch of NEW Game Boy Advance SP units! This is the pink one with the brighter screen. Yay!

Picked up a few games while I was in Tokyo. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - All Star Battle, Super Mario Bros. 2 (Lost Levels) and Tobal 2! I'm gonna stream Tobal 2 soon!

I've been buying a bunch of phone cases lately. I love this BlazBlue one! Shiny metallic blue!

TGS 2013 Exclusive Sanwa X Arc System Works stuff!

Needed the 6 button version -_-

New phone case and Chun-Li button...

Better than the latest Victoria's Secret catalog...

Special Tokyo Game Show exclusive item! Sanwa X Arc System Works X Exar Arcade Stick! You got to pick your buttons for this! There were 36 different buttons to choose from!

... and this!

That's it for my September... If anyone cares here are some awesome pics from my recent trip to Japan (just got back today!)

 

[Auron_Kale]

Might as well. From today:

 

[Dash Kappei]

Yay, this month I might participate thanks to gaffer dr_octagon and his awesome birthday gifts

 

[JEKKI]

I picked up sum sweet ramen!!

and I watched the movie Battle of the Year!!

 

[Lemstar]

Vertex Mitsuru Kirijo P4A 1/7 scale figure

Catherine CE (360) and standard cover (PS3)

some games for the backlog

V for Vendetta 2005 hard cover

GTA 5 CE/SE

silent pads for Sanwas and a clear balltop from Paradise Arcade (The thick ones are really, really heavy; I don't suggest using them)

 

[Yes Boss!]

Yay for a new month!

Not expecting much other than a few nintendo games. Can't wait for WW HD!

 

[RkOwnage]

Missed the new thread, so repeating, sorry:





It's so beautiful.

 

[Valkerionseven]

Finally decided to put stuff on my walls finally/replace the stuff thats been there since 2001 lol.

Just got back from my first anime convention EVER. Took forever to find these, about 3 hours in the dealer room sifting through effing Hatsune Miku, Sword Art Online, and Attack on Titian, and just about every Project Tohou thing made, to find just these two. Instant bought soon as I found them. Sorry about the picture quality, was super tired when I got home and just snapped them and passed the f out.

Hoping to add a 3DS to this thread in 2 weeks -crosses fingers-

 

[Flek]

i kinda want this daigo manga - any chance to get it in english?

 

[Dereck]

It's so beautiful.

It really is.

 

[MicH]

It's finally my time to play this game! Missed it completely on the GameCube so I'm very excited to play it

 

[haigyman]

deleted.

 

[Stuart444]

Just got this through from amiami today:

Took about a week and a half to arrive roughly. Not too bad.

 

[Groof]

Been a while since I posted a pick up, but I felt today warranted it even though it's not much.
Got these today for my birthday, a jacket from my gf and a shoulder bag from her mum!

Got some more stuff coming in the mail later this week, though.

 

[mr_toa]

It's finally my time to play this game! Missed it completely on the GameCube so I'm very excited to play it

truly a sight for sore eyes

 

[Avallon]

 

 

[mere_immortal]

Probably my last major current gen purchase.

 

[Quake1028]

Two new watches:

New OGN:

 

[The_Monk]

Part II of my second surgery from the dentist continues fellow GAFfers.

Bills, bills and medicine. Last two months were terrible for the wallet. Why are these things so expensive...

Spoiler

 

[whatsinaname]

New car.

 

[Avallon]

 

 

[foobarry81]

So, September was a busy month....

Let's take a look at the damage done.

First of all the fairly new stuff:
- Metal Gear Solid: Special Missions (PS)
- ZombiU (Wii U)
- the £5 Yakuza: Dead Souls (PS3)
- and Tomb Raider (PS3)

The meat of my spendings went to old stuff though. The ultimate goal is to have all Konami cartridge releases for MSX in my collection. So, all carts with product codes RC7xx.

Complete In Box stuff, and non-Konami Japan cartridges:

Very pleased with Space Manbow. Such an awesome game.

Loose Konami cartridges, I added the game titles for those wondering.

 

[deddonpachi]

bought some blurays at todays sale

 

[Roge_NES]

GTA V

GTA V Special Edition

 

[Grief.exe]

GTA 5 CE/SE

Why did you buy so many? For gifting purposes?

The retail value on CE's seems to plummet after the first month.

Love the GBA library and love my SP and Micro equally. You can't go wrong with either of them.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

I have that same exact GBA. Love it!

 

[lordimmortal]

My pick ups over the last week or so

 

[Gamble]

I couldn't resist temptation any longer grabbed this earlier from Walmart, the crappy pix don't begin to do it justice

 

[Lemstar]

Why did you buy so many? For gifting purposes?

The retail value on CE's seems to plummet after the first month.

I had the CE preordered; the SEs were an impulse buy when they showed up back in stock for shipping, since they seemed to be be running out of stock everywhere.

If nothing else, I'm pretty sure I can get rid of them at cost and effectively turn the $230 of Best Buy store credit I spent on them into cash.

 

[Mistah]

Cuz one isn't enough.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

These came in today from CDJapan~!!

 

[Ultimadrago]

GTA V on a new television:

In front (only some) of my Nichijou collection:

Newest addition being the Blu-Ray box set that showed a little while ago! I'm very happy to finally have this and have had it pre-ordered for a while!:

 

[dark_chris]

I dunno how I was able to find this gem. I traveled to the bad part of the south side of Chicago (2.5 hour travel using train and buses) just to get it. It was all worth it. Last one in retail to have it in a 100 mile radius it seems too.

 

[Coconut]

Link and have the same reaction to wind waker HD:

 

[Jobbs]

Here we go. It's finally happening.

In addition to the backlog of PSN+ titles I've acrued (presently working on downloading them! Rayman Origins, Metal Slug, Gravity Rush, and others) I picked up Muramasa Rebirth and Soul Sacrifice. I love beautiful 2D games, and I am a fan of Inafune and Soul Sacrifice was really speaking to me.

Initial impressions of the Vita hardware is the same as anyone else -- It's beautiful, solid, it feels great and looks great.

Point me to the nearest bathroom. Let's do this.

 

[Azusa]

These came in today from CDJapan~!!

How is the first one?

 

[NEO0MJ]

Needed the 6 button version -_-

I must know MarkMan, where do you keep all your sticks?!

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

Looks like we both got lucky - although I had to resort to ebay for my copy. Paid a slight premium, but it's brand new and sealed, so I'm happy. Arrived today, wasn't expecting it to be so big!

Other pickups for me so far in October:

Hatsune Miku - MikXperience e.p. - An Xperia collaboration release in Japan.

Oneohtrix Point Never - R Plus Seven 2xLP

Sena Kashiwazaki from Haganai figure - to go with Yozora, who is less than impressed at Meat's arrival!

 

[Shaldome]

Needed a step up from my Samsung Phone for listening music on my way to work.







Friday or Monday my new in ear headphones from amazon uk should arrive.

 

[MarkMan]

I must know MarkMan, where do you keep all your sticks?!

They are all over the house

 

[NEO0MJ]

They are all over the house

You should like, turn your garage into a museum or something

 

[Barrel Cannon]

Got a Wii U (zelda bundle) last month


and some figures that were spread around the month but not posted so here you go.

-Wolverine(Practically every Marvel Vs title by capcom)

-Sagat EX (Street Fighter Alpha 2). He is huge and bigger than I expected. Finally building a proper cabinet to display all my stuff.

And a picture of them next to each other so you can get an idea of their scale


-Shaak TI(from Star Wars Force Unleashed)

 

[Caode]

I didn't pick up anything but I did pre-order the special edition of Beyond...

..and for the first time in 9 years... I got my hair cut! It was.. nerve wracking at times.

 

[TheFightingFish]

You should like, turn your garage into a museum or something

MarkMan should do this, only with sticks instead of guitars.

 

[SkyTurnsRed]

MarkMan should do this, only with sticks instead of guitars.

Totally went there the first time last week while on vacation in Seattle. EMP museum is incredible. Probably my favorite place that we visited.

 

[Ecto311]

Was my wifes birthday yesterday and I got her this. It moves a bit when the theme to tororo is playing. Found it on amazon.com.

 

[weevles]

This is September's haul...a big month:

A Wind Waker Wii U LE Bundle

GTAV CE, Pikmin3, NSLU, Rayman Legends, JoJo's, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD, Killzone Mercenary, IM3 BR

The other games were from August that I forgot to include for that month's thread.

 

[cafemomo]

for god knows what reason i totally forgot that IX was localized so I asked a buddy back in Japan to get me a copy.....then I remembered it was localized when I saw a copy up for sale at meijer :/

various PSP games from gstop

 

[Brilliant Disaster]

Cellphone pics pardon.

Love me some Danielewski

The WiiU converter works with PS3 as well. EDIT: it works with XMB, netflix and hulu. Seems a dead pad on games.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Currently here in New York for a few days and picked these up:

LEGO Farnsworth House

Momofuku Compost cookies (2 aren't pictured) that I got for the half-dozen price:
