The Small Scores Thread: Part 3!

[nupoile]

First off, I'd like to say well done on all the gold colored carts we've been seeing lately, spray painted and otherwise.




Remember this picture I put up in the 'Random Photo Thread' a little while ago?

I took that on a little vacation the wife and I took but we also found a bunch of Laserdiscs while on that journey. I've been worried they would have to go in the lowly 'Laserdiscs' thread way down in the 'Media Room' forum. Since I've been saving my pennies and nickels for PRGE next month, I've not been doing much thrifting and yard-saleing.....thus no games to get me past the door and entry to the big time, the spotlight, 'The Small Scores Thread'.......uh.......Part 3!

We remedied that today by going to that one thrift store we go to to throw money at. Three good controllers and two games, I don't know what it cost exactly, $9 maybe? Driven is only in 10 collections here on RFG, so relatively rare right? Pricecharting says it's only going for $1, you better jump on it now before everyone else figures out it's hard to find.........





Anyways! The real reason for this post, Laserdiscs!*

Found these all at a thrift store for $1 each. I would have paid the $13 for that Special Edition T2 alone.  Highlander, Rocky, Alien, James Bond and An American Tale are not widescreen      It doesn't say the format on the box and we only found out once we got home. Some of these are also prone to disc rot according to LDDB (http://www.lddb.com/)  That aside, we're pretty happy with these, we've already watched The Ten Commandments, An American Tale and The Lost World. Very excited to see these versions of T2 and Aliens. Aliens is a special edition and has nearly 20 minutes of extra footage.



If my images have seemed to load extra quickly lately it's because I've been using JPEGmini http://www.jpegmini.com/   There are downloadable versions but if you are only doing a couple images it's fast enough to just drag them (one at a time) into their browser based compression system. So far it has been compressing my jpegs to about half the size with no noticeable loss in quality.




_{* Good thing I caught a typo on "Laserdiscs," I left out an "s".......and it wasn't the last one}

Nice Laserdiscs Nupoile found myself some today as well. I feel like T2 was meant for laserdisc because it looks really good on that format.

I picked up Hard Boiled, The Killer, and Aladdin on Laserdisc today for $3 each.

I am in a similar boat with PRGE, trying to save and make some money, so I can have some fun while I am there. See you in about a month Nupoile

[nupoile]

I picked up Hard Boiled.....on Laserdisc today

Wow, the Criterion version? I really want that, it's like my #1 LD want right now.

Yeah its the criterion one, I was pretty excited to find it. Haven't watched it yet.

Oh and I am wondering are there other laserdiscs you are looking for? Maybe I can look around.

Hey now,

Time to bust open a few grab bags I picked up from the local Savers.

Underneath the price tag on each PS3 game were three others...

[img width=700 height=259]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/gwtag1_zps185ced38.jpg[/img]


...each with a higher price than the one before.

Hey, hey.  Very nice grabs.  Not really a Pokemon guy but I know how much those little guys mean to PokeManiacs.

Man.................. The Killers isn't bad, but Hard-Boiled is one of my favorite action movies ever! I have it on DVD (not Criterion though). If you haven't seen it, pop that thing in IMMEDIATELY!

Carcass?? That's hardcore!!!

Never heard of that Resident Evil Revival. Might have to import myself a PS3 copy. Can never have to many versions of Code Veronica!!

I think it is also RE 3 and 4.

I have been listening to Carcass for 20 years LOL Use to be the hardest band I listened to. That CD came out after a 16 year hiatus.

What, you couldn't find a Dark Edition starter? Wannabe... 

ANYway, got my thrift on today both on the way to and from work, and discovered this:

Boxed Hori Ace Combat 6 Ace-Edge throttle & stick controller set: I wonder if I can use this to reenact my fave Air Crash Investigation episodes...


[img width=700 height=544]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score9-16-2014c_zps3e00b4d0.jpg[/img]


But wait a minute... what else is in there?


[img width=700 height=441]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score9-16-2014d_zps91e37b4d.jpg[/img]


All right, here we go:


[img width=658 height=534]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score9-16-2014e_zpsf15e4a4e.jpg[/img]

Tar-jay salvage for the win! Some lady almost snapped this up before I did, but decided at the last moment to let it go. More fool her...


[img width=594 height=546]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score9-16-2014f_zps654b4a99.jpg[/img]

Been picking up just about any Disney Genesis game I come across nowadays for some reason.


[img width=645 height=539]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score9-16-2014g_zpsd140c2e7.jpg[/img]

Still sealed.


[img width=671 height=547]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/score9-16-2014h_zpsce730ec7.jpg[/img]

Also sealed... but I think the game disc popped free of the spindle. Sure hope the playing surface didn't get badly scratched up as a result.


[img width=651 height=545]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score9-16-2014i_zps8511a073.jpg[/img]

A little something to flip through while listening to Duke, Bil, and Crabs natter on about the unparalleled awesomeness of the Dreamcast.


[img width=617 height=542]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score9-16-2014j_zpsbaf32168.jpg[/img]

Whoops, wasn't supposed to show y'all this. Looks like I ruined the big surprise for a certain hot-headed old-schooler.


Aaaand finally, the game that came with the controller set:

[img width=626 height=542]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score9-16-2014k_zps6f5675e9.jpg[/img]


Niiiiice.

But seriously: as soon as I found this, I did an extensive search about the store for the real controller setup. I even asked an employee if the hardware might still be in the back room; no dice I fear. Now I know how Duke feels about the whole foot-pedal deal...

Carcass?? That's hardcore!!!

Never heard of that Resident Evil Revival. Might have to import myself a PS3 copy. Can never have to many versions of Code Veronica!!

I think it is also RE 3 and 4.

Resident Evil Revival Selection includes RE 4 and Code Veronica (the games that recently got HD remasters on PSN and Xbox Live).  I used to have an imported copy on PS3, but found it unplayable (at least Code Veronica, I didn't try RE 4) due to the lack of English text.  The voiceovers are all in English though.

That sounds like a collectors edition and I dont collect those anymore. It is bad enough I had to buy this big piece of crap. Did you pre-order Disney Infinity 2.0 yet? So many kick ass looking figures!

Also I love the 179.99 price tag on a used game. Also no controller or box! Wannabe... 

[Crabmaster2000]

Got a few noteworthy things over the last few weeks. First I was finally able to replace my Steel Battalion controller after selling it in the store during our first couple months:

[img width=500 height=375]https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5579/15083107229_d82f44954d.jpg[/img]

Did a trade with Shaggy for the copy of Baby Boomer. Duke hooked me up with the Kartia and Hyperdimension that he picked up locally:

[img width=500 height=375]https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5562/15269463362_3a9f888939.jpg[/img]

Duke's grabbed these from his friend that moved to Japan:

[img width=500 height=375]https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5554/15269464182_b5c108c32c.jpg[/img]

One of my favorite guys to buy from locally brought in this wicked PS2 sign for me. He offered is a gift for helping him sell so much of his collection throughout the year. It lights up blue when plugged in. Really awesome

[img width=500 height=375]https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3891/15266744271_de96f9c046.jpg[/img]

And lastly Mr. Bil sent me some awesome posters!!
