Got a new copy of Steel Battalion for Xbox (complete with mammoth controller) being transferred down to my local Toys R Us. At $99.99 CDN I couldn't resist any longer.

Also picked up a DVD set that I missed when it was released. Dream On: Seasons 1 & 2 ($48.98 CDN). I loved this show when it came out and I still think it's the best comedy I've ever seen. All hail Martin Tupper! :D

[Snapple]

Speed Racer (PSX, R7) $10

You can't call it a loss anytime you get a rare PSX game for just ten bucks. Just don't get your hopes up about the gameplay. I'm a Speed Racer fan, and I was so disappointed by the game. Lack of tracks. Lack of cars. Lack of fun gadgets. Lack of music. Lack of anything "good" really. It's quite possibly one of the worst racers I've ever played. No wonder it never received any press or sold well.

The one good thing is that the entire Speed Racer opening is in the game, as a full-motion cutscene.

[pookninja]

The one good thing is that the entire Speed Racer opening is in the game, as a full-motion cutscene.

Believe me, I have absolutely no expectations for this game. I rented it around when it came out, but all I remember was being extremely pissed off at it.

But I did find a new thrift store in my hometown, right under my nose and it's been there for 20 months.
Time Gal (Loose) $2
Road Avenger (Loose) $2 :D
The owners are super nice, and they have a wish list/book that they put peoples names and numbers in for what they are looking for.

Hehehe! That's what I was wanting to hear :D I feel slightly less crazy now!

Anyways .. there's no astonishingly rare ones in there, but Rent A Hero (top left), Spaceship Gomorra (top row, 3rd from left) and Metal Fangs (2nd row, 3rd from left) are all fairly hard to find. And there's a bunch of pretty decent stuff in there as well.

All in all, these puppies came to £2.50 apiece. Bargain, I say!
