Not open for further replies.
I hadn't been game-hunting in a while, but I had some decent finds, today:

The 3 PS1 games were going to come out to $37.00, but I asked the pawnies if they could sell them for $30. They agreed. $9.99 each. Fair price.

The others came from a thrift store, and were $1.91 each.
 
[quote name='Derrick1979']One more to add so far:


Daisenryaku VII Exceed: Modern Military Tactics $9.99[/quote]




Also a regular Xbox from CL for $30.00

And some Xbox games:

Half Life 2
Oddworld: Strangers Wrath
Mercenairies
Yager ($4.99 front row at Bestbuy and actually pretty decent.)

Finally pulled the trigger on these since the controller was about $8 off at Circuit City.

I've been reading up a bit on this, sounds awesome but I suck at sims and at customizing stuff usually. But I have been really wanting to give it a try.

[quote name='FFBlitzace']Is that version of Lunar SSSC worth anything? I have it, but I have never seen it on ebay or anything, so I don't know.[/quote]
1 of every 30 copies of Lunar SSSC is the Fan Art discs. very few makes it on ebay sometimes alot of sellers thinks they are all the same disc so they dont even note it on their topics or description.

How do you it's the Fan Art edition? Tried inspecting your pictures closely but I didn't see anything that distinguished itself from the regular edition. Nice pick up by the way :)
 
Got these over the past week:

2213334947_f172009188_o.jpg

ICO
Radiata Stories
Shadow Hearts: Convenant

PSP - Ultimate Ghost n Goblins ($12 @ Kmart)

Gonna try to pickup Star Ocean: Till The End of Time and the other two Shadow Hearts game before coupon expires. I also see some SMT: Devil Summoner available at one of the GS around here so might pick one up as well.

I found jet set/sega gt and prime for 6 bucks each at a pawn shop. Picked up the valkyrie games at a gamestop I have never been to before and drooled over a copy of marvel vs capcom 2 that they had, but didn't feel like shelling out 80 bucks for it.
 
Picked these up over the past few days:

Pawn shops:
Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies(PS2)- $5.95
King Kong(PS2)- $5.99
Casino Royale(2-Disc DVD)- $4.99

Also saw complete copies of Silent Hill 3(PS2) for $9.95 & The Sims 2(GC) for $4.99, but passed. Both would've probably turned $4-$5 profit at GS, but figured I'd be wasting that just in gas driving there. Also passed on a complete copy of Black(PS2) for $8.99.

Picked these up at a Gamestop that takes good care of used games:

Billy Hatcher & the Giant Egg(GC)- $4.50
Batman: Vengeance(GC)- $5.40
Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy(PS2)- $4.50
Power Drome Racing(PS2)- $1.80

Got those prices after the Edge card. I know I'll probably get a lot of crap about that last game, but it's actually pretty decent for a Wipeout clone. Passed on a copy of Fire Emblem:poR for GC, because it was disc only.

Arrived in the mail today:

The Art of Gyakuten Saiban, or for those whose tongues are prone to being tied...

THE PHOENIX WRIGHT ARTBOOK! :D

Long story, but I basically traded a copy of Lunar 2 for it.

Had a spare, gave it a good home with bleedingblackthornedrose. No pendant as of yet, but I've got a friend willing to resolve that.

May not be a big deal to the rest of you, but as if my avatar and sig weren't good enough indications, I love the Phoenix Wright games.

You're welcome... I think.

And before any of you ask, the thing behind them is intended to be a Phoenix Wright plushie. Sure, it looks unusual, but a very special friend made it for me, and Nick will have eyebrows someday.

Oh man, I've gotta get me one of those...

I went a little crazy with the toys this month. Lots of Sega crane machine figures and Square Enix Play Arts:

Sega Evangelion figures. The first set is a rerelease; I hunted down the originals for years. Got them at Play-Asia for a decent price. The second set is now out of print, but the price wasn't too bad:
evafigs_1.jpg

evafigs_3.jpg


A third set of Sega Evangelion figures with a JRPG theme. Also, a complete set of Dragon Quest VIII Play Arts. Yangus looks like he's discolored some (a common problem with certain Play-Arts), and Jessica looks like she might have some discoloration as well (to a lesser extent), but they look fine overall, and the price was right (about $40 for the lot, before shipping):
dq_vs_eva.jpg


Those Selphie and Kadaj Play Arts I mentioned a long time ago on this thread, but never posted pics of. You can't really see it in this pic, but Selphie has some discoloration problems herself:
ff_1.jpg


Tifa and Aeris Play Arts. The Tifa one is awesome - she looks just like the original character design! Aeris looks like she has this flat expression on her face... meh; I'm more of an Aeris fan than a Tifa one, so that's something of a letdown. Didn't get Cloud because I'm holding out for the Hardy Daytona set, so the girls'll have to fight over Advent Children Cloud in the meantime :lol::
ff_2.jpg


Monsieur Bome Collection Vol. 8 - K0S-MOS from Xenosaga. Didn't like this game, but the character designs are nice. I wanted to get this one while visiting San Francisco over a year ago (that city's an import toy mecca), but I wouldn't have had room in my luggage. Fortunately, it seems she hasn't accumulated in price (yet?); I paid the original SRP:
kos-mos.jpg


Oh, and I also bought a pile of Final Fantasy VII doujinshi. The pages are faded on some of them (no surprise... some of the books are 9-10 years old), but many of them are by an artist who's a favorite with collectors, plus they were cheap (after shipping, they came to less than $10 each)!
doujinshi_1.jpg


One of the doujinshi: a beautiful FFVII/FFT crossover with Cloud and Aeris. Knew I was never going to find this book again, so I got it:
doujinshi_2.jpg


Other than those and that copy of DQM: Joker that I (also) mentioned earlier, that's all for this month... so far. I have a set of Monster Hunter figures on the way from Japan, but they probably won't get here until sometime in February.
 
[quote name='zephie']How is the articulation on these?[/QUOTE]Haven't opened these ones up yet, but both Aeris and Tifa's boxes say they have over 22 points of articulation.

If they're anything like previous FF Play Arts I've bought, they should be highly poseable; maybe Aeris not so much because of her dress.
 
I got a giftcard from GameStop as a late BDay present so I bought the following

XBox - Real World Golf complete - 17.00
XBox - RalliSport Challenge - 5.00
N64 - Mario Tennis - 4.00
N64 - Kobe Bryant Courtside - 1.00

I still have 20 dollars left so I might be picking up more XBox games
 
Well here's what I got as I swung by the outdoor flea market yesterday:

sneses.jpg

Aerobiz and Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest for the SNES.

skeleton.jpg

Skelteton Warriors for the Sega Saturn. I never watched the cartoon in 1994 seeing as I was already a junior in high school and was probably more interested in sleeping in on Saturday mornings. Still, this is a pretty cool game with a lot of dark and spooky themes and artwork.

saturnmanuals.jpg

Skelteton Warriors also came stuffed with these extra manuals. May be worth keeping if I happen to find Fighting Vipers without the instructions some day.

Cleaningkit.jpg

I also got this SNES Cleaning Kit for $2.00. I have always wanted one for some reason. The box is a little tattered, but it seems pretty complete, otherwise. The cleaning wands and cards are pretty much spotless.

The grand total for this one-hour spree was $12.00 (plus $2.00 for parking). And I also got to enjoy a Mexican imported Coca-Cola in the glass bottle. It's better because it uses sugar instead of high fructose corn sweeteners!
 
[quote name='blueshinra']Also, a complete set of Dragon Quest VIII Play Arts. Yangus looks like he's discolored some[/QUOTE]
Every Yangus figure I've ever seen here in Japan is colored the same way, sadly.

[quote name='blueshinra']If they're anything like previous FF Play Arts I've bought, they should be highly poseable; maybe Aeris not so much because of her dress.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, unfortunately the Aerith figure is really limited in what you can do with her due to the dress. Find new ways to make her hold that staff, I guess! I also wish her eyes were a little smaller, so she'd blend in with my Cloud and Sephiroth Advent Children toys - I don't plan on getting any more of the "classic" figures. And sadly, the Cloud figure in the new assortment looks a bit odd, possibly because they couldn't hide all of his joints as well as with some of the other figures. Meh.
 
[quote name='Kirin Lemon']Every Yangus figure I've ever seen here in Japan is colored the same way, sadly.[/quote]
I've seen some in NYC stores that were a bit lighter, but that's probably because they were kept out of the sun; the set I got was from an eBay seller.

[quote name='Kirin Lemon']I also wish her eyes were a little smaller, so she'd blend in with my Cloud and Sephiroth Advent Children toys - I don't plan on getting any more of the "classic" figures.[/QUOTE]I'm sort of the other way around - I wish Aeris' eyes were slightly bigger, to better match the original character design it was based off of. If they did that and made her smile a little, it would make it just as good as the Tifa figure. In general, I've always preferred the "old" style to the Advent Children one.
 
Went to my local Gamestop yesterday and found the new Gamecube Gameboy Player for $19.99. It's new but was marked a used. This is my second time I found this one at the same local Gamestop. I put it them on ebay and already had a buyer who paid $69.99 for it. Wow,the first one was sold ony for $49.99.




Aslo picked up 2 HD-DVDs from BOGO at Bestbuy and Scrapped + Princess Vol5,6 LE for $7.2/each
 
Just got Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and.... sold my 360 to concentrate on the ps3, now im just waiting for the comments hahaha
 
Went out with $20 in my pocket today and ended up with:

1x Minty NES, just a bit dusty
2x NES controllers, minty
2x Black N64, both with power adapters, but no vid :(
1X Green N64 controller, may be broken, but was free

Journey to Silius (NES)
To the Earth (NES)
Mario Bros/Duck Hunt (NES)
Kung Fu (NES)
Gyromite (NES)

And the happiest part of the score:

Sega Saturn Virtua Stick, in original (but beat to hell) box, in awesome condition for $1.

One guy at the flea market had a ROB, missing all accessories and dirty. He wanted $10 for it and I made the mistake of pushing it and CIF'ed $5, and he said he decided he'd rather not sell it. Personally, I don't think he was aware he even had it, as I found it in a box buried under a bunch of crap. :(
 
if someone were to do another thread (i know someone will) please include all the past brag-threads/pick up threads whatever of each month. if you can..
