[PocketIguodala]

Wow, sweet pick ups RPGer!!! So much CE goodness! And looking at your pick ups make e want to get a Wii to enjoy some Mario!

Spoiler

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 always looked fun, and I love the cover so I figured that I couldn't go wrong for $14.99
College Hoops 2K8 was $9.99 and it's a somewhat rare game.
NBA 2K8 was $.99 and I can import my 2K8 draft class to it. Also fulfills my taste to play some 2K since I sold 2K13 earlier in the week.

Fable 2 was $2.99 at Gamestop, I've been having an itch to play it lately
Quantum of Solace was $2.99 and I gotta say, it is pretty dang fun. Not great, but solid.

Skyfall was $19.99 at Target. Phenomenal movie, in fact, I'm watching it again right now lol. Daniel Craig and Javier Bardem were amazing in this movie.
Quantum of Solace (not pictured) was a valentine's gift from my lovely girlfriend, that was a great movie as well!

 

[dodgeme]

Was out and about today and found these 2 at my local game store for $15 each. Been trying to get a few of the more scarce Genesis games.

 

[dafoomie]

Ugh, I spent way too much on imports from dv8mad, couldn't resist. Not sure what to think on how I did. I got:

Sega CD Ram Cart (Japanese, no region lock)
Space Invaders (Saturn)
Vampire Savior (Saturn)
Shining Force 3 Scenario 2 (Saturn)
Shining Force 3 Scenario 3 (Saturn)
Christmas Nights (Saturn)
Frame Gride (Dreamcast)
Mushihimesama Futari (Xbox 360)
Virtual On Force (Xbox 360)
+an audio cd (approx $20)

Grand total of $143 shipped, lets say $120 for just the games. I think I can nearly justify that with the two 360 games and the Sega CD ram cart alone but I still feel like I spent too much.

 

[Drclaw411]

From the Best Buy sale:

From ebay, Sealed, $15:

From the GameFly sale:

From Reckless Records (local used movie/music store) $1 for all four:

From People Play Games (local used game store):

 

[DCpinoy]

Decided to post here in here, seems like a great way to keep my collection up to date and share my collection with you guys. These pickups are from the last few days.

Was at Best Buy today and saw the thread about used PS2/PSP games being dropped down to 99 cents. Decided to pick up anything that seemed halfway decent especially for 89 cents after GCU discount. Didn't have much of a PS2 collection so this was a great way to start up a collection.

These are just a couple of cheap PS3 games i picked up from GameStop for. Used my birthday 20% off coupon to pick them up. Bulletstorm and RE:ORC came from Best Buy for 7 bucks total.

These two games are the same, picked them up from GS for cheap. Been wanting Lollipop Chainsaw but have been waiting for a decent price. Bulletstorm was cheap from Best Buy.
I've been looking for a genuine MS Wired Controller. Walked into GameStop today and the worker (that i'm friends with) asked if i wanted one since somebody just traded in a great condition one. So ended up picking up the controller and renewing my PUR pro membership.

 

[elessar123]

Five of the items were from today (GoT, Tales petites, EO1, Monsters Inc, Aria). The rest from the last 2 weeks or so.

Stock pic, cause I already put these away:

That is literally a pickup dreams are made of. Congrats. #

I am loving CL lately. I just picked this lot up for $35. I originally had agreed to $30 for everything minus Road Rash and King's Field, but the long boxes are in superb condition and I couldn't pass them up upon seeing them.

Mostly everything is in great shape, a few cases are a tad scratched as is the CTR and Road Rash disc, but FF7 and Legaia are mint. Heart of Darkness is missing the manual, but Legaia has a random Jade Cocoon demo disc randomly in it. Anyone happen to know where that is from?

 

[stiner]

That jade cocoon demo might be from the game Shadow Madness. I checked my copy and it has it in it.

That was one of the games that was advertised, so it certainly would make sense to me.

yeah for the price on amazon and saw everyone recommend it, had to give it a shot after finish watching hellsing ultimate 1-8. Picked up last exile cause was always interested to watch it and with the recent announcement of Last Exile: Fam, the Silver Wing on blu ray i thought why not.

[AugustAPC]

I had all kindsa lamps that did that electric business when I was growing up, so they don't really do much for me anymore. I'm not really a fan of the lamp. I don't like the capsule shape to it... something just bugs me about it. Like they took an old fad lamp and stuck a sword in it. I feel like they could have done more... especially for $90. God that's ridiculous.

 

[ZombieToast]

I think you guys need a bit more quoting practice.

Been awhile since I've posted my last pickups, but been waiting for the last of it to arrive, so I will have pics up next week when the final stuff gets here. :3

 

[DNukem170]

Recently got Hyrule Historia, Duck Dodgers Volume 1, 24 Season 1 (repackaged, now I can see what all the fuss is about), Ultimate Avengers 3 pack, Scooby Doo Mysteries Inc. Season 2 Volume 1, and Heaven's Lost Property Season 2. The last one pissed me off because I didn't realize it was DVD only with the Blu-ray not coming out until June for some reason.

haha keen eye on the price tags. I picked this up from an Exchange on the west side of Cleveland. I see you are in Pittsburgh (?). Whenever I have them look up stuff, you guys always have what I am looking for, though this store's quality has been on the up swing.

 

[Hemi]

[quote name='MasaTFC']so let me get this straight- you just go in and ask which ones are a penny?[/QUOTE]

No, my employee hookup told me to bring a backpack, scanned the entire rack for me, and let me take ANY that were a penny (off camera), because he was gonna just toss them in the dumpster. He's not big on guides, the infos free on the internet etc. there was enough LEGO sticker book's and lego idea books to fill three backpack's that I left, and two Ninja Gaiden 3's.
It was more of, I'll just say I threw them out and you can have them.
Found out he also is a CAG too, he's been on here but IDK if hes registered.
Because the manager wasn't there he had the leeway to do it, while we were putting them in the backpack he was joking around "oh no stop! thief!" and when I commented the "air" in my backpack was heavy he said enjoy all that "air".
TL;DR I have a cool employee who doesn't care either way if I take pennied guides, as he think's it's stupid they just throw them out or rip them up etc.

 

[Skuttie]

Got these for a dollar each at a church yardsale.

 

[Animal7390]

well done sir^

 

[sp00ge]

Not sure where to post this, but my old lady had a package show up today and gave it to me. I opened it up and inside was this:

She sells clothes online on some site (no idea what site), and apparently she traded a few of her items with another seller on there. Most of the clothes she sells and trades, she only pays a buck or two a piece for, so these probably cost about $6 out of pocket.

There are a couple obvious turds in there, but everything is complete with all manuals, inserts, etc. Pokemon channel even has all three e-reader cards, and the original card they were punched from.

 

[trollape74]

Had fun with the Best Buy President's Day Sale.

Then got the Epic Edition of GoW 3. I think I'm probably gonna sell my Limited Editon of GoW 3 that I already had. I'm glad I had alot of BB and GS credit to buy this stuff.

And here is my little collection of figures so far. Hope to fill it out with more stuff!

love that bender. Where did you get it?

 

[elessar123]

Those are the Kidrobot Futurama figures. I've seen them at Barnes and Nobles, I think. Places like Urban Outfitters might have them as well, and specialty stores.
