Hope everyone had a great weekend! I've gotten some cool stuff lately:

Uh oh I've joined the club:

Got this nice little starter kit from a coworker from his kid for ten bucks.

Nice pick up on Sakura Wars. I've been looking for that one for about 2 years and havn't seen a copy locally once.

Pretty good scores for the week.  Made a trade with Johnny Nintendo and crossed off Fire 'n Ice from the remaining list of licensed NES games I need (only 22 left!)

Also picked up a copy of Double Strike for the NES from a local game store for $2.  I'm not focused on collecting the unlicensed titles (yet....), but will grab them if I can get them for a good price.

Had a much bigger score this week and brought home two more pinball machines, which I friend and I plan on restoring and selling.  Paid $900 for a Xenon and Genesis, which are in above-average shape already and came with many new parts that the seller had purchased in anticipation for doing the restores himself.

Welcome to Xenon banana:

Very cool, Rich.

Too bad there wasn't a Blade Runner pin   I've heard the TRON one is nice, though.

The Tron LE is a very cool pin.  The Tron pro.....not so much. Same playfield, just feels cheaper and really doesn't play quite the same.

Amazon price matched Best Buy's sales, so I picked up:

Paper Mario: Sticker Star (3DS) - Must have ordered another copy while drinking, because two copies showed up 
Pokemon White Version 2 (DS)

I also picked up a white PSP go from GameStop for $50.  I was initially very against the PSP go, but after discovering the joy of CFW, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.  I can't wait for the component cables I ordered for it come in so I can play it on a TV, and with a DualShock 3!

Picked up a XaviXport Baseball Bat, & a Miwi Wii clone

I'm not usually a cart guy but I don't know how many of these I'm likely to come across, especially with the manual.

How much you pay?

[wildbil52]

$70

Picked up this stuff today in a craigslist find for 10 bucks.

I was only expecting the games, but the person threw in a SMS with controllers and the original adapters as well.  Although it won't power on 

I hear these are easy to fix as it usually has to do with bad regulator. So hopefully I will have better luck fixing this then I did with the Atari and Intellivision I recently picked up.

I love those white uniform SMS boxes.  There's something cool about them.

Very nice grabs Bil, Fokakis79, and Banana. Xenon is a fantastic pin, you should consider keeping it for a while.

Definitely considering it. It looks nice beside my Fathom, same manufacturer, Bally, and from the same era. I'll post some before and after pics on my blog later for those interested.

Well, we traveled a good 40 miles away to grab my LE White 4GB Skylanders Xbox 360. We hooked it up, played some Mass Effect 3 (4 Xbox 360s again to fill the party), and then tossed on Skylanders. My wife wanted to try it out, and this was her first actual day off in a long time. Needless to say, she fell in love with Trigger Happy almost immediately, and my roommates are interested in trying it out as well to the point where they were discussing grabbing a copy of the game.

...anyone with extra figurines for the original Skylanders can likely send me a PM at this point.
