January 2012 Finds!

[megasdkirby]

Happy New Year to all!

I know it may be early for some, but since it's 12pm here in PR (AST time zone), it's officially Jan 1. So let the January finds begin!

Nothing wow to start of the new year, but I did get a few items in the mail:

-Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel Edition (PS3)
-Catherine Limited Edition (PS3)
-Epic Mickey Collector's Edition (Wii)
-uDraw tablet (PS3)
-Back to the Future (PS3)
-Knights in the Knightmare (PSP)
-Over the Hedge: Hammy Goes Nuts! (DS)
-Dungeon Seige III (PS3)

Nothing classic, but I'm still happy with the purchases. And now that I will have time off from work, I can catch up on some good gaming goodness.

Goody.

Hope to get a few computer parts to create an HTPC, mainly an Athlon II X3 455, GA-M68MT-S2, and 8GB DDR3 RAM. Since this will be a simple "browsing" computer, I don't need a fancy video card...was opting for a GIGABYTE GV-R645SL-1GI Radeon HD 6450 1GB.

I'm hoping to connect this to my 32" LCD to watch some 1080p HD movies I've downloaded!

Technically it's only 10:00pm here, but I might as well post in the new thread. I stopped off at the Shreveport GameXchange store on the way through town, and picked up Cosmic Commuter, Cosmic Corridor, Sir Lancelot, and Gangster Alley (which turns out I already have) loose for the Atari 2600, $1.95 each. And Crime Wave for the Saturn for $3.95. And since they had a "buy *blank* used games and get one free" sale, one of the Atari games was gratis.

For you N64 collector's you know this isn't an easy one to come by.

I was happy with what I gave for it. I traded 4 PS2 games that i bought at a pawn shop for $1.99 each for it.

[megasdkirby]

I've never heard of that game. What is the usual asking price? Was it a low production run? One of the last titles?

[jeffg]

low print run. Last complete one went for $88 on ebay beginning of december and it was in bad shape. I had sold a decent CIB one for $100 before.

[camarotuner]

SNES Jr, Kirby Superstars, Mario All-Stars, and Taz-Mania with the cables and a controller for 40 bucks. Not the best deal on the planet but I'm perfectly happy with it.

[The 1 2 P]

Technically a few of these were from yesterday:



Sonic $6

I'm not sure if this picture does Sonic justice. He's atleast three feet tall(probably closer to four) and the size of a small child, if small children had blue skin and heads the size of elephants. I put him in my passenger seat(seatbelt and all) to take him home and he fit in it like a real person would. I knew when I saw him at Goodwill that I really didn't have room for him but for $6 it was hard to turn him down. He's like one of those freakishly large stuff dolls you win as a prize at a carnival, fair or amusement park.



Duke Nukem Forever strategy guide 1 cent
Crysis 2 strategy guide x2 two cents
Assassin's Creed Lineage dvd $5
Donkey Kong cart racing toy 50 cents
Vampire Hunter D Vol. 4 Manga 50 cents
Xbox Japanese Tokyo Game Show 2002 dvd $20
Spartacus: Blood And Sand season 1 dvd $10
The Gunstringer(360) $14.99

The Vampire Hunter D manga and Donkey Kong toy were from Goodwill. I don't even really like Donkey Kong but it's more toys for my shelves. I snagged the AC dvd from Gamestop. I already have the individual shorts downloaded to my 360 so now I'll be able to clear up that space and the dvd includes a few extras.

The Japanese Xbox dvd will be added to my growing amount of Xbox import games and dvds that I can't play. Actually I can play the dvds because I have a dvd region converter for my PS2 and can also get one for my Xbox. Sparticus and Gunstringer were both from Target. Gunstringer comes with a copy of Fruit Ninja but I already won that game in a contest from Gamepro so I don't need it. And while the price was good, it looks like the copies of this game that included the first dlc were only the launch copies. Thats disappointing but I can't really complain since I still got a good deal on it.



Marvel Ultimate Alliance strategy guide $3
Wireless Mic(360) $9.97
Pokemon Diamond(Ds) $5
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time(N64) $5
Hal Wrestling(GB) $2.50
Double Dragon(GB) $2.50

All the games were from a flea market. I'm keeping the two Gameboy games and the rest are for sale. I've been waiting to find a copy of Hal Wrestling without using ebay and finally I found one. The strategy guide was from an import store and even though it wasn't a penny like 90% of my strategy guide finds it's worth enough that I could put $3 towards it. And now that I finally have a wireless mic I can finally play Def Jam Rapstar. I kept using the wired mic as an excuse to not play it. Now I get to break it down and lay some phat tracks......whatever that means.

I want a SNES JR. I'm jealous.

[VideoGameRescue]

I do a weekly video called find of the week on my website. I found T-mek for 32x this past weekend

[Aussie2B]

Yay, another giant Sonic owner.

The sad thing is that I have a GIANT Donkey Kong that makes that Sonic look tiny, haha.

[The 1 2 P]

One of those has been sitting at my dining room table for the past four years. Before that I used to have to move him around when I was in a smaller place. Best $1 I ever spent at a flea market.

I'm afraid that if I sit him at my dinner table he might eat my food when I'm not looking. He always has that smirk on his face leading me to believe he's up to no good.

In my finds with Sonic theres a miniture Donkey Kong cart racing toy. But I'm not sure how anything can make Sonic look tiny. He would intimidate midgets if they saw him.

Heh, well, maybe tiny is a bit of an exaggeration, but still:



Genesis game for size comparison, and that's a twin size bed.

Damn. They probably make you sleep on the couch

[Gameguy]

I had a jumbo Sonic like that, as well as a jumbo Knuckles and a jumbo Tails. Tails was friggin huge, taller than Sonic with feet twice as big, a larger head, and two huge tails in the back too. The Tails one wouldn't even fit in the passenger seat of our car or the trunk, it took up the whole back seat. After getting it home and seeing how much space they took up I sold all three of them and haven't regretted it. I'll never buy jumbo ones again, never.

[geezuzkhrist119]

My buddy hooked me up with 4 Xbox 360 games for $20

I need to get some replacement cases for Gears and L4D2. The fronts look like someone bit them.

[jeffg]

had to return a few games i didn't like to gamestop and picked this guy up with the return funds.

I am debating of playing it or selling it since it sells for a chunk?

[Ryaan1234]

I basically had to drag myself out of bed Saturday morning and I was glad I did. I hopped over to the local flea market and started looking around. The regular electronics seller had some new NES games.

Anyways, I was browsing through his new stack of NES stuff and got Castlevania, Flintstones (the Dino & Hoppy one), and LITTLE SAMSON! Yeah, just randomly in a stack of NES games was Little freaking Samson. It's in good shape, too. The games were $4 a piece, and an excellent start to the year.

Sunday morning I went out again, but only found the group of 3 Pac-Man plushes for $5.

I won an ebay auction for a sealed copy of Okami (PS2) black label version for 20 dollars even.

I also bought a lot of a top loader NES, 2 classic NES controllers, Bad Dudes, and Operation Wolf for a total of 25 dollars. I found this at a thrift store in a very bad neighborhood. lol
