Picked up these two guys. That's 46 to go on SNES and 55 on NES!

[ReddMcKnight]

I bought these tonight. Venom was a separate figure, but the rest was all a bundle.

I went to the DAV today and found some jewel case PC games for 19 cents each!

SWAT 3 Elite Edition
Code Blue
Micro Machines: Adventures in Time

[Duke.Togo]

I was glad to find out that my local Goodwill isn't always a wasteland. Got these for $5.

I approve.

Damn. Got to start looking for these now. I want Thor and Venom!!!

[Techie413]

I was able to see the new Infinity 2.0 figures a couple of weeks ago, when the girl in the Fred Meyer electronics department (and fellow game enthusiast) was excited to bring some out from the back room.  They're cool looking...mostly.  I'm still not sold on getting started on the collection.

[Techie413]

An assortment of gaming pick-ups, fixes, and playing has happened since I last checked in.  And "Big Ol'" says hello, sorta.

In non-chronological order, we begin.

From Craigslist:

A great lot that required a drive up the highway, but it was worth it.

[img width=700 height=260]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a241/EldredgeJ/WP_20140921_02_08_50_Pro_zpsf9a3f83d.jpg[/img]

Not shown, since they already moved on:

PS2 Champions of Norrath - CB
PS2 Champions: Return to Arms - C

Truth be told, I spent $150 on the above lot, but the already sold and arranged sales with cover it and I will keep the two games that initiated the purchase - Sunset Riders and Turtles in Time.  The consoles were extras for me so will move on.


NOTABLES, besides the working consoles -
Sunset Riders (SNES)
TMNT Turtles in Time (SNES)
LOTR Battle For Middle Earth Anthology (PC)
Mega Man X4, X5, and X6 (PS1)
Meta Slug Anthology CIB (PS2) FS/FT


Also from Craigslist, and I can't provide a pic because of how fast it moved to someone I intended it to end up with:

PRETEND YOU SEE IT HERE.

I bought an awesome black Sega Dreamcast Sega Sports console with black controller from a guy for $20 because it kept shutting off after a couple of minutes.  I opened it up, scrubbed the pins connecting the power board to the main board with Brasso (love the stuff) and rubbing alcohol to remove the oxidation, put it back together and DAMN IF IT DIDN'T WORK LIKE A CHAMP.  Then I drove it over to my buddy's house and sold it to him for my cost.  Yes, it was a great find.

CDWorld and retail:

I couldn't pass up Final Fight One for GBA.

Thrift stores:

GODZILLA for a Gojira fan!  Unleashed was their standard Wii game price of $8 with cover/no manual.  Sweet deal for a game averaging $45, disc only!  Destroy all Monsters is a double for me and FS/FT.  Oh look, Captain Power tapes.  Does anyone still have the toys and want them?

[img width=700 height=445]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a241/EldredgeJ/WP_20140924_00_36_11_Pro_zpsbe30022f.jpg[/img]

Not much from that thrift stop.

AND THESE ARE ALL FS/FT SINCE I HAVE ENOUGH TROUBLE TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH MY EXISTING 500+ LIBRARY.

I have actually been compiling Halo books found for a while.  Tonight I added another, plus a Balder's Gate II guide and a bunch of Wing Commander books.

BREAK FOR A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.

The girlfriend got her first taste of a true Metal concert last week when she accompanied the usual lot of us for Five Finger Death Punch, Volbeat, Hell Yeah, and Nothing More to SLC.  It was the 3rd time that my brother and I have seen 5FDP (the first being a meet and greet that I will never forget) and 2nd time for me with Hell Yeah (signed Vinnie Paul drum head on my wall).  It was 5 hours of absolute AWESOME!  I can't express how much 5FDP appreciates their fans and puts on an amazing show.  And Volbeat had such a long set that we were literally worn out by the end and needed a break to catch our breath, although the band kept going.  Get your tickets now for this awesome tour!



And finally, my non-gaming finds because I both enjoy seeing other people show off their other random interests and enjoy posting mine.

Yes, I just worked a promo for Ivan and the boys above.  But I still love the classics, and I found a sweet stack of Neil vinyls for $0.50 each, plus Moody Blues, BTO, and Fogelberg.  Yes, I can relate when I watch Saving Silverman.  Neil's the man!

Summer is niceeee

I went to the two local Half Price Books yesterday and used my two 40% off one item coupons (gave these out because they shut down one of the stores for a week) to pick up Mario vs. Donkey Kong Mini Land Mayhem for 4.00 CIB for DS and Battle Masters tabletop game in the box (made by same people as Hero Quest) for 7.00. The Battle Masters game was an especially solid deal as it routinely is a $50 item on the online auction sites. The day before I used the coupon to pick up a copy of Phantasy Star II in case without manual for 7.00 and also grabbed Keith Courage for TG16 for 4.00.

Not amazing deals, but solid finds with the coupons...and I never see TG16 stuff in the wild except for the occasional item at that HPB location (I've seen TG16 stuff there 3-4 times and picked up most of the stuff they had each time).

[GrayGhost81]

Nice haul Techie!

I got these in a trade with a coworker. Too bad I won't be able to play Gradius III for the playthrough in December!
