Not a new pick up per-se but my Ogre Battle 64 is now complete. It was missing the guts inside which hold the game and thanks to a certain CAG for hooking me up with the guts to an N64 Box.
 
Okay. ENORMOUS pick-up post time.

My thanks to a few amazing CAGs for most of this. A lot of these things were picked up for me (greater Cincy is, as usual, shit for good finds :roll:) and so it was almost a proxy GS/pawn/vintage store run for some of this stuff. I’m in PS2/PSP heaven now but sticker gunk hell :lol:

PS2 pickups. Let’s just say I’ve been in panic mode lately about filling the remaining holes in my PS2 library. I still have much more to go before I have a library that I can consider complete, but these got me a good chunk of the way there:

PSP pickups.

104_0023.png


Monster Kingdom! Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl! UK LEs! It was a good month for PSP stuff for me, hah. I went ahead and got a UMD-only copy of Legend of Heroes III just because it’s virtually impossible to find. I managed to get a manual off of ebay, now I just need the insert.

GBA pickups.

104_0025.png


Most came from lowballs, Harmony of Dissonance was from a trade and is so minty it still has the seal (though it was cut open at the top so the previous owner could play it.) Got a 2nd Micro at a GS, though they forgot to include the AC so I have to go back there and sort that out. And, at last, my first two games from the Bit Generations series (known as “Art Style” on American DSiware.) These were cart releases in Japan, and now that I’ve seen them in person I have to get more. The tiny boxes are too stylish and cool.

PS3/BD pickups

104_0026.png


Borderlands from the GS Power Saver sale, DW7 from Amazon (and hopefully gone soon. I didn’t like it and need to sell it T_T) Enslaved was a gift from a friend, Spider-Man from Gamefly, Yakuza 3 from K-Mart clearance.

Casshern Sins Vol. 1 and 2 $17.50 shipped each from gohastings after a code, and Nightmare Before Christmas from a CAG.

Odds and ends:

104_0027.png


DJ Hero controller from GS Power Saver sale, everything else lowball winnings or other pick-ups.

JUDITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
[quote name='The Punisher']Gameboy Micro? I never seen it.

I got a Advance SP. Is the micro better than the SP?[/QUOTE]
The micro has a better screen but the SP IMO is much better. The design of feel of micro is way to small for me at least and the SP just feels right.
 
Bioshock and Jade Empire LE from Play N Trade $5 each
Mass Effect 1 Platinum Hits Best Buy MSRP
The 3rd Birthday Zavvi

I thought it was an okay pick up- $90 for a White Nintendo DS lite, Super Mario Bros DS, Pokemon Black, and Pokemon Heartgold off of Craigslist

Got both Crimson Gem Saga, Fire Emblem and Fire Emblem Sacred Stones from B2G1 from Gamestop for ~$32 after taxes

That's "Sailor Moon: Super Best", which is a compilation of music spanning the entire series' Japanese soundtrack. Found it mint, complete, and legit for as marked. It's very rare to see something like it in a U.S. second-hand store. Some other finds include a 3DS Clean & Protect kit from Goodwill for $2, 6 $2 Ring Of Honor Wrestling DVD's, some CD's for under a buck(including No Doubt's "Rock Steady" for $.05), and Rock Band 3 for $20.
 
[quote name='adriley313']^are those bit generation cheap?
fun?[/QUOTE]

They average $20 used each or so on ebay. If you're not interested in collecting them it's much cheaper to go the DSiware route.

Boundish was a collection of five different takes on Pong, Soundvoyager is a lot more complex and has to be played with headphones because you rely on aural cues to navigate through each level. Both are pretty fun, especially on a Micro where the minimalist style looks extra-crisp.

{Tetris DS}

Got this from that random book store through Amazon for $6.55.[/QUOTE]

God, they got crushed. :(

grrrrrr@ZxT Vendetta, you keep getting these movies early!!!!! I'm lucky to get them a day early if I ordered from Amazon if they have RDD.
 
[quote name='skiizim']grrrrrr@ZxT Vendetta, you keep getting these movies early!!!!! I'm lucky to get them a day early if I ordered from Amazon if they have RDD.[/QUOTE]

He could be ordering them from dvdworldusa.com, but the mark up is so high it's not worth it to get a movie a week or 2 early
 
Here's my pickups I got yesterday.

2011-04-09_14-04-32_152.jpg


Just Cause 2 from AWD for $14.99 and the two other games from textbooksrus through Amazon for $6.55 each. I can't believe the condition of Pokemon HeartGold, looks brand new and has everything included.

Who did you get Magic Knight Rayearth from? I already have it but does that Cag have any other rare Saturn games?
 
Best pick-up in a long while. Someone on here pointed this out on Amazon. After shipping I got this whole system for about $40. The listing didn't even mention the Uncharted or the Blu Ray remote, so double bonus I guess? I guess I gotta figure out what to do with it now.
IMG_1405.jpg
 
I bought two 3DS's earlier this week, took a pic but it came out as a JP file and I'm to lazy to take another picture until the next round of pick ups.

IMG_0430.jpg

Mega Man ZX Advent is for a CAG Friend

e8e9e001-1.jpg

Pokemon White from Amazon DOTD $25.00 new. Pain was a gift from a friend, she picked it up for me while overseas. I'd wanted to play that for a while but I much prefer disc to downloadable so this was a nice surprise.

02d205ac.jpg

Season 1 of Glee from Blockbuster. Entire set was $19.99 during a going out of business sale. Jim Gaffigan behind the pale Best Buy clearance (ymmv?) $14.99.
 
Grabbed A nyko power pak+ for $14 at Toys R Us today, they had the 30% off Nyko Accesories this week and seemed like a good deal to me. Was a bitch to install the thing tho.

[quote name='Zaku77']Where did you buy those from?^^^^ The price tags are so high everywhere, that I can't bring myself to get any lol[/QUOTE]

Bandai online store, I said the same thing back in the day about Gundam Igloo but surprise surprise when that went out of print it was just straight gone. No box no brick no nothing so i'm not taking any chances here.

Real actual pickups. All except UGC and FFXIII are free from interwebs. Sacred 2 was $2.04 shipped from Textbooksrus.
 
[quote name='Tardcore']Received the Xbox 360 Beta update in the mail today, which includes a copy of Halo Reach.

DSC00891.jpg
[/QUOTE]Ditto.
 
101_2485.jpg


Rounding out my Mass Effect 2 Litho set. Thansk to Tooshorty!

Bluetooth from Wal-mart for $50 since Gamestop wouldn't take my card, which is weird because I paid for a couple of 3DS's 2 days before then.
 
[quote name='Tsel']Gotta love that headset. I picked up a couple months ago. Great sound quality.[/QUOTE]

The only complaint I has is after about 10 feet my PS3 doesn't pick it up and I have to re-tune it to it in the middle of the game.
 
[quote name='lmz00']It took me over a year to find both that and Zelda.[/QUOTE]

Do you have pics of your full collection? I would really love to see what you have, all we get are little pieces here.
