#HALLOWEEN #SWAGGEDOUT #CEREAL #YOLO

I didn't bother with Count Chocula or Boo Berry because Count Chocula is available year-round and Boo Berry was just sorta /okay/ from what I remember (I'm not a big fan of blueberries) but I wanted to try Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy and I liked Frankenberry last year because strawberry superiority so I got two this time.

 

[dubq]

Frute Brute?? WTF

 

[Tadale]

I'm tempted to join in on this DS4 business, but I only ever used one controller for my PS3 after I upgraded to the DS3.

 

[dubq]

I wonder if online outlets will start to ship out DS4's early as well? I have one on pre-order with Best Buy.

Are you in the US? Where are the classic looking boxes from?

I stocked up on Frankenberry already but I would totally buy more for those awesome boxes.

Saw those boxes at Target last time I was there.

Thanks! I'll check there.

Were Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy around last year? I seem to recall it just being Chocula, Boo Berry, and Frankenberry for a while there.

Either way, I stuck to my mainstay this year: Count Chocula. I can't find it outside of September and October here, so I dunno. I have to stock up. Gotta have my spooky marshmallows.

 

[Jaroof]

Had to show it off...

Good to see that others were able to get one, too!

Gonna try it out on Arkham Origins!

When I bought it, the Gamestop employees told me how they hadn't held it yet, and asked me if I minded opening mine. I didn't mind at all, so we opened it up, and all of us held it.
It's so comfortable.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

Me after seeing everyone buying PS4 controllers in their state.

I think I'll join you down in the salt mines

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

Wasn't expecting this so soon! It looks fantastic up close.

Recent Ace Attorney hype made me reassess why I never got around to having the series in my collection. As you can see, that has now been rectified

 

[karasu]

Where did you get that background on your PS3?

I just zoomed in on this:

 

[Liha]

I bought my first 3DS and found the Pikachu Edition

 

[haikira]

Went a little crazy on games. Though I'm now on lockdown. Not spending a single penny on myself until after the holidays.

 

[Johnny Silverhand]

Couldn't decide which one to get, so I bought both:

Something for the PS3:

And something for the PSP:

The first box is Sword Art Online Limited Edition Blu-ray BOX SET II.
If somebody wants to know, Cowboy Bebop Part II ist region locked to code B.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

If somebody wants to know, Cowboy Bebop Part II ist region locked to code B.

This confused me as I put it in my Region-hacked (to A) BD player and it came up with a region error! I have to slum it with the PS3 instead Strange how the first box wasn't locked though.

 

[Laieon]

Count Chocula is available year-round.

...where do you live? It's only available around September/October here. My dad's a manager at a grocery store and can't even specially order it, they say it's a seasonal thing. CC is literally my favorite cereal, so I stock up pretty hardcore when I manage to find it.

 

[enewtabie]

Free lunch for today! Just found out yesterday.

 

[halfbeast]

some recent purchases of this month:

Revoltech Skeleton Army Warrior (Jason and the Argonauts) figure and a couple of those iPhone Neko Stands (different colors) - which are a perfect match for funny halloween type pictures!

and two jp PS2 games, I was looking for Primal Image for a long time (never knew the name) and got Bomberman Kart as well, because it was cheap.

Is your BD player completely region free or do you have to change the region manually?
I checked the discs with AnyDVD HD and the determined region says B.
Anime Limited confirmed, that it was a mistake, that the first box wasn't locked. If they ever make a reprint, it will also have code B.

NES: Space Shuttle, The Magic of Scheherazade

SNES: Rocko's Modern Life

My dedicated player is 'hacked' for Region A locked discs using a system unlock code, but it also plays unlocked discs from any region - which explains why the first box set discs worked without issue.

Still waiting for Rakugaking to arrive.

Fruit Brute was discontinued by 1984 and replaced in 1987 by Fruity Yummy Mummy, which also had a short life as it was discontinued in 1993.

More info here.

I too bought all five flavors this year (at a Target in San Diego). There's a comic on the back of the box that references the fact that the brute and the mummy haven't been seen for a long while.

 

[The Ps4 Looks Great]

It's so shiny

 

[thinktnk]

Black 3DS + Pokemon Y

 

[Tohsaka]

Also downloaded Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies on the eShop yesterday.

Jealous! Using a mid-2010 i5 15" MBP at the moment, I'd imagine I'll upgrade within a year or so.

 

[jcutner]

One more pickup! Just checked the local EB (in Toronto)

Yonge/Dundas?

Yonge/Dundas?

Commerce Court / CIBC building

Commerce Court St2235
199 Bay Street
Unit C-134
Toronto, M5L 1E7
(416) 861-9521

I had to ask if they had any, and they got it from the back. They had the Playstation 4 Camera sitting on the shelf behind the counter.

The only place I could find them was Target.
Apparently other stores carry boxes with the modern redesign, but I haven't seen them anywhere else.

As far as Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy, I /think/ they might have brought YM back for a very short time last year but I was never able to get/find any. Frute Brute has been discontinued since the 80s or 90s and this is the first time in 20+ years that it's been available.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Interesting. I saw the Frute Brute (and some other new ones) but they were in new packaging. I though they were modern takes to add to the line. I'll pick up a Frute Brute tonight!

 

[gloone]

Looks like my 3DS will keep me busy for a couple of weeks.

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

On the last day of the 30 day return policy i checked apple store and they had gold 64gb iPhone so i made the exchange.

I gotta stock up on Count Chocula.

I buy enough that I'll still be opening boxes next summer, haha.

 

[RoninChaos]

So far all I've picked up are medical bills and a wii u update. lol

 

[RoninChaos]

Backlit GBA with glass lens from Rose Colored Gaming

Dual Shock 4

does the glass lens not scratch?

I'm thinking of picking up a ps4 controller if it will work on PC.

And I'm going on that retro quest. lol

 

[Andrew J.]

Got these from Amazon.

More Ace Attorney. It's been too long.

 

[Immaculate]

Looks like my 3DS will keep me busy for a couple of weeks.

i said god damn

 

[Whipped Spartan]

So jelly everyone has PS4 controllers


Did they have them on display when you bought them or did you have to con them into selling u one???

 

[Mobius 1]

How's the drinking out of that thermos? Any leaks? I've had awful luck with various Nissan Thermos.

It's been great. The lid seal works and the lock keeps it from opening accidentally.

The best part: It has kept my coffee warm enough to drink for 12 hours today.

 

[Rafy]

I won the COD Ghosts Prestige Edition (don't know if it counts)

BLOPS2 was on discount for 10 euros(new) and the HDMI was 4.99.

Do you know if Gamestop accepts trade ins for sealed games and do they evaluate them better than non sealed used copies? I am planning to get another one of those games today so I can get them to drop the price on a 12gb PS3.

Are you in Italy? because Gamestop policies likely change based on country

In the US, you cannot trade in sealed games. You have to open them and trade them in used. This is due to Gamestop accepting used goods and is a basic law of operating like a pawn shop but again may be different in different countries

Yep, I am in Italy, I don't think there is such a law here.

Have you tried googling it? I would have far less luck at it as you'd have to use google.it and italian to find a real answer
