The Small Scores Thread: Part 2!

[Zagnorch]

Well, we traveled a good 40 miles away to grab my LE White 4GB Skylanders Xbox 360.

[...]

 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,

It doesn't need to be said that you've got a keeper there...

...even though I just did.

and my roommates are interested in trying it out as well to the point where they were discussing grabbing a copy of the game.

Yeeessss... the addiction is spreading! Glory be!

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

I'm sorry to say I've already dealt all my extras to another RFGentleman.

None the less, best of luck on your hunt. If ya wanna PM me a wish list, I'll keep an eye out for ya.

BTW I highly recommend Drobot. The dude's got the best ranged attack out of the entire Series 1 lot. And just wait 'till ya get him powered all the way up; you'll take down most melee-attack types before they even get close to ya.

RFGentleman.

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. 

Awesome pick up for $10

Such a shame - a dead SMS.  I hope you can get it fixed.  Those are some fun games there.

First off, I got a sweet deal on a large O2 lot for about $26 shipped.  The boxes and carts are in great condition.  Those in the top section are extras so FS/FT, but the ones on the bottom are keepers.  The Speedway! I'm keeping is the Philips release.

And here are the finds from the weekend, when I wasn't up in the hills riding the red beast.

I took advantage of Best Buy's sale and snagged Epic Mickey 2 and the two Pokemons.  The rest are from a thrift store.  The Activision collection was a must have for a former Atari kid.  The other PS1s were just games I hadn't seen, so I took a chance.  The GBA is Final Fantasy Tactics.  The Mario 64 needs some cleaning and, if it works, it will be on the FS/FT list.

And then I found this non-gaming gem being used to display little nick-nacks - A Kahlua steel display stand in black & red.

I asked if they would sell it, and they accepted my offer of $20.  As Cartman would say, "It's so sweet, you guys."

Nice haul!  Love that o^2 lot.  That rack looks awesome.  Seems like it would be a great place to put some honored game systems.  Funny, but I've been looking into a light, open networking rack for that same purpose.

That Odyssey 2 box art always makes me want to start collecting them...  damned temptations.   Now I'll have start watching for the right lot to come along.

I second that.

I might talked into selling my collection. Just let me know know if you are interested.

[slackur]

Oh, sure.  Collect the O^2 for great art if you want to be mainstream.  Us hipsters know that Arcadia 2001 box art is/was/do be cool before colored pencil was a thing.

So today the same coworker who sold me Skylanders bestowed these masterpieces upon me:

All kidding aside I'm grateful and looking forward to playing them....except Duke Nukem which I only took because he was threatening to throw it in the garbage and of course I could not allow that, I don't care how bad of a game it is.

[ixtaileddemonfox]

@ grayghost I just got duke nukem as well I dont think it will ever go in the PS3 lol

[GrayGhost81]

@ grayghost I just got duke nukem as well I dont think it will ever go in the PS3 lol

Yeah looks like we both scored big today!

I tried the demo so unless I'm in the mood for some punishment I don't see myself actually playing it either.

Purchased a Sega Pico from Missionfailed over a month ago and it hit my doorsteps today. Apparently their are variations of this system as the one I got the other day has a Pico and Sega sticker on the front with a built in carrying handle. The Pico I got today is lacking the stickers and handle. Also got another copy of Mickey's Blast Into The Past included.
