You've heard correctly

Hey now,

I like how the Nerf gun has a picatinny rail with a carry handle/peep sight. It's very cute.

Just about every Nerf blaster sports at least one tactical rail for accessories. The Stampede that Optimus.Togo-- or is it Duke.Prime?-- is wielding sports six of them, one on the carry handle and the rest forward of it. Some tac-rail accessories are included with the blaster, including scopes and sights. the Stampede includes a riot shield-looking deal, as well as a combo pistol-grip/pop-out bipod. Others are sold separately, most of which aren't all that special; the only one I really dig is the red-dot "laser" sight.

All right, enough Nerf talk for now. It's time to unlock the old thrift-vault and reveal my latest scores:

Cool DS title - it's an English-Japanese and Japanese-English dictionary and trainer. Supports writing kanji and latin to teach you the alpha.

Hey now,

Cool DS title - it's an English-Japanese and Japanese-English dictionary and trainer. Supports writing kanji and latin to teach you the alpha.

I figured you'd be the first to chime in on that one. Looks like I won that bet with myself...

Oh, and keep up the good stuff on the site maintenance.


'Late

I finally convinced my friend to sell me his CIB copy:

Things have been extremely dry around here - both Craigslist and Thrift Stores.  And no Play 'n' Trade...Uhhh.  Nearly every listing has been about one of the XBox consoles, PS3 & PS4, and f'n gaming headphones.  Seriously, who spends over $20-$30 for headphones to talk over the internet where bandwidth, latency, and room noise from the speaking party makes it all sound like crap no matter what?  Don't get me wrong, I love my Sennheisers for playing guitar, but...ah, nevermind.  Stop trying to sell headphones in the Video Game category!

Anyway, thrift store:

Great Naval Battles Vol. III is CIB and even had some random other floppy discs included. 

The Ultimate Doom and Final Doom (love this game on PS1!) were $2 ea. 

Yes, I bought a Sponge Bob Plug-n-Play.  Metal Jesus mentioned it was fun, so it was worth the $3.  And the Namco 5in1 Plug-n-Play was well worth the $2.  It has Dig Dug, Dude!

CDWorld grabs:

SMS and Genesis fillers for cheap, although I NEEDED a Space Harrier that wasn't 3D to play on the flat screen in the bedroom. 

I sent my copy of Abadox to a fellow RFGen membnorch that really wanted it a while back, so I'm happy to find a replacement locally. 

And I should feel a little ashamed that I didn't have a Kid Icarus till now.

Oh, and Fatal Frame II!  A little less than eBay, but a title I've wanted for a while.

AND the randoms:
[img width=700 height=615]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a241/EldredgeJ/S7305090_zps808edb7d.jpg[/img]

The NeoGeo Gold X Mega Pack Vol 1.  There may not be a Vol 2, considering the falling out between SNK and Tommo. 

A cool little Pac-Man puppet for display.

And I hadn't posted the really cool stuff from the holidays.  I know pans, tools, a clock, shirts, and whiskey are not "scores" worthy of the site so not pictured.  The lady knows what I enjoy so I got a KISS official photo cell, a couple of Ducks mugs (using the one not pictured now), and a custom Ducks Lego dude with my name on the back.  It's so sweet you guys.  Yes, the Ducks's winning streak ended tonight, but they're still the #1 team in the league. 

I'm glad I'm not a Rangers fan.  That would be embarrassing.

Ahoy!  Managed to snag some pretty nifty items on the last trip around town with Nick in search of gaming loot.

Picked up cart only Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie, Mega Man 7, and Little Nemo: The Dream Master.  Picked up a CiB copy of Donkey Kong Country as well.  Followed by a cart of Mendel Palace to fill out a box with manual I got from Nick.  Finally got around to snagging a copy of Kingdom Hearts  Re:Chain of Memories, and picked up a copy of Aedis Eclipse: Generation of Chaos as well because it was cheap.

Last stop of the day, at Game Vault.  Noticed a NES Challenge Set up on the wall behind the counter, Nick tells me it's been there a while.  I can't pass up looking at boxed NES systems.  Gave it a once over and the damned thing is nearly new.  The Mario 3 inside is 100% complete, warranty cards, poster and all.  Only strike it had against it was the power brick was an after market job.  Easy enough to replace with an official Nintendo one.   So I splurged and snagged it up.  Lawdy help me.

Very nice! Am I the only one that thinks Nintendo could sell more consoles if it abandoned the Wii U and started selling the NES again?

[GamerNick]

Duke you are not the only one that thinks that! I do too haha

[MaterialHandlerMike]

Nice scores Engel!

I've bought a lot of games recently, thanks mostly to Gamestop clearancing out all of their PS2 stuff.  Not even 3 weeks into the year and I'm almost at my goal of 400 PS2 games.

[img width=480 height=640]http://i41.tinypic.com/2z4z7g0.jpg[/img]

I got these from a few local thrifts.  The Gamecube games were $3 a piece and the PC games were $1 a piece.  Mass Effect 2 was $5 from Gamestop.

[img width=640 height=480]http://i43.tinypic.com/32zkrit.jpg[/img]

I got all of the NES games from a thrift for $3 a piece.  I also got Turbo, the Gamecube games and Medal of Honor from the same thrift for $1-3 a piece.  All of the PS2 games were from Gamestop for a grand total right around $12.  I got Castelvania online for $9.

[img width=640 height=480]http://i40.tinypic.com/so3brs.jpg[/img]

This is the main haul I got from Gamestop.  There's 40 something games there, almost all of them "Gamestop new".  averaged out, I spent about $1.70 per game.

[img width=640 height=480]http://i40.tinypic.com/sywiop.jpg[/img]

Finally, these are the last games I've picked up recently.  I got them all from Disc Trader/Disc Replay/Disc Whatever they're calling themselves these days.  After everything I've got recently, I went from needing 68 PS2 games to reach my goal of 400 for the year, to 9.  I also had another goal of buying 365 games this year, one for everyday of the year.  I could not buy anything until we're well into March and I would still be on track to hit that.  Like I said, a lot of games.

Kickle Cubicle is great! Kind of a hidden gem on the NES.
