I shall be there but don't think I will be cosplaying my Umbreon, or maybe i will.
I also know Frank with be running the gaming section.

So if anyone wants to say hi or chill hit me up.

Just chiming in as an AZ Cag in Scottsdale. No particular deals that I've come across to post. I would recommend Fallout Games as a store of choice for classic cartridge games and systems. There's a Fallout Games at 41st Avenue and Bell, and another one down in Tempe. I also favor the Play-N-Trade at Tatum and Bell.

Fallout games? I was not really impressed with them and over all i would rater just go to ebay.

Anyone going to Con-Nichiwa 2013? Think I finally might make it to one.

There is still a Play N Trade open? Wow. There used to be one in Tucson near campus, but it closed down. I do like Fallout Games here in Tempe though.

I will be at Phoenix Comic Con this year.
Can't afford to do Amazing Comic Con this weekend.

Ooooo! A new Fallout games has opened up at Thunderbird and Tatum in Phoenix. This location is much closer to me, and will make shopping for classic titles a lot more convenient. I picked up a copy of Shadow Hearts: Covenant, while I was in there today. They have a great selection of older titles.

I'll have to stop in there. I live about 2 miles from there.

I always tell myself I'm going to stop by their Tempe store, but I never get around to it. I guess they are doing well enough to keep expanding, which is always good news for retro used game stores.

I see they do disc repair as well, not sure what machine they have though.

You should check it out. The guys who work there are cool and they have a pretty good selection!

Yeah, it's worth it if you're a collector. They have their computer system between the three stores linked up, so they can check the stock across all three locations. And if one of their other stores has a game you want, they're willing to transfer it over to the location closer to you.

I picked up a lot of great titles on my recent visit to their new location. Just for the PS1 I was able to get Beyond the Beyond, Broken Sword 2, Parasite Eve, Tobal No. 1, and Vagrant Story. All of them were in surprisingly good condition, and came complete with cases, inserts, and instruction booklets. The prices on Parasite Eve and Vagrant Story were extremely reasonable. $20 for Parasite Eve and $25 for Vagrant Story. Well worth it considering the notoriety of those titles and their developer pedigree. (Squaresoft PS1 games usually command higher prices)

That's quite a haul! I'm not sure when I'll be out that way (since I live in Mesa) but I'd like to see the new store. I know the Tempe store sent a lot of their duplicates to the new store to help with inventory.

I have been able to find some good deals at Zia in Chandler occasionally.
