Nice shameless self promotion lol ^^^
We are going to have a great season this year, if we can beat the heat and the heat 2.0 out in LA.

Of course I would LOVE for Rose to be back as soon as possible. But damn it would be sweet to go 41-41 without him, have him come back for round one, and then knock the Heat out in the first round as an 8 seed.
 
[quote name='wiggyx']I miss my Lunar PS1 collections :(

I just met an old couple that needed to get rid of their son's games. I was more than happy to take it off their hands for very low amount. Quick note: I only got 1 lunar game (silverstar). The other two were from my own personal collection.
 
Got a 60GB BC PS3 today. A guy at work asked if i wanted it b/c the laser went out (and he got a new ps3). I said "hell yes!" It is an easy $30 fix and a nice new PS3.

I assume you're a big fan of shounen and possibly seinen?
 
Last month I moved so I really haven't had to much time to post or go hunting lately. I am also really trying to weed some of the stuff I don't want and all my dups. You never realize how much crap you have until you have to move it. (may post pics of my place in its chaotic moving state if I find the time) This is the stuff I have picked up recently though.


arcade marquees from a yard sale. All these for $10. Gals Panic ^_^ hehe.


These were $2 a piece from goodwill. The cashier was dumbfounded when I brought these up since they have been pricing all their decent games in the $20-$35 range for the past few months.


random stuff from random places (yardsales, thrifting, gamestop)
 
[quote name='Olengie']I assume you're a big fan of shounen and possibly seinen?[/QUOTE]

I guess I am a big jump fan, since most come from there. Honestly I mostly named the more well known animes. I would like to get into lesser known, but still as great anime.

Ima post my pickups so far this month next week.
 
[quote name='Royal High Knight']I guess I am a big jump fan[/QUOTE]

Gintama for sure.

Slayers, Kenichi, Outlaw Star, Busou Renkin

Just to name a few that might interest you.

Yeah, try looking for some of the overlooked ones, a lot of them are good treasures to read and watch.

I will but they'll be mostly volumes since they're typically cheaper. (That's how I got my Outlaw Star. :lol:)

Ooh! I didn't notice A Wind Named Amnesia until just now! I've never seen that cover before; is it an import? Also, where'd you get it? That's one of my favorite anime movies and I've been wanting to buy it ever since I found out it's available on DVD, but I don't want to shell out $40 for it.

It's the alternate release from US Manga.

Many US Manga titles actually have two releases of the same title, but no extra content with the new releases, just a different cover.

This version is the re-release.

I got mine from Hastings for pretty cheap, so not too bad.
 
Here's my late-September/October pick ups.

27yv5y.jpg

Picked up Pokémon White Version 2 from GameStop on release day and got a little preview guide and poster of Keldeo.

Persona 4 The Animation Collection 1, Tenchi Universe, Deadman Wonderland and GameCenter CX all came from RightStuf. Picked up Young Justice Season 1 Part 2 from work. Nabbed Donkey Kong Country Returns when GameFly had it on sale.

This is a PAL import of One Piece: Pirate Warriors Collector's Edition. I imported it namely because the game was download-only in North America and the download time for a massive game (it's 11GB and my connection is crap) pretty much forced me to import it. That and I like having the actual game on hand. Also can't say no to a replica Thousand Sunny. :)

x6mlo2.jpg

Bought an NES Advantage, ToeJam & Earl (complete), Sonic R and Sega Smash Pack 2 (PC) and an N64 AC adapter (not pictured here) at a flea market for about $10 total.

Since I heard Nintendo Power was going to be out of publication soon, I decided to grab at least the last few issues as they come out. Also figured I'd look for the Archie Comics Mega Man collections, but couldn't seem to find them at the book store. Settled for Mega Man Gigamix Vol. 1, instead.

This last pic are birthday gifts.​

Also got the following games digitally:

  • Pokémon Dream Radar
  • Tokyo Jungle
  • NiGHTS into Dreams... (PS3)
  • Sonic Adventure 2 (PS3)
  • NFL Blitz (PS3)
  • King of Fighters XIII (PS3)
 
Ah, that first picture clears up some confusion for me. Another CAG sent me a picture almost identical to that via SwapNote on 3DS, but it was small and fuzzy, so I couldn't tell what it was. I forgot that B/W2 was already out. Were the booklet and poster available for anyone (and were they free?) or did they come with your purchase? Since I see no point in buying it until I beat the previous one, it'd be cool to pick those up without the game...especially the poster.

Thanks for the info. I'm kinda torn...the original cover has a lot of nostalgia for me (that was first time I rented anime and was one of the first ones I'd ever seen) but the alternate cover that you have looks a lot nicer. Hmm. I'll probably just leave it up to the CheapAss gods and just accept whichever one I find first for a good price.

That's the spirit! ;D

I do like the alternate cover a little better though.

They were separate from the game and were given to me when I bought the game.

[quote name='Luxuria']@Tsukento: What's that Persona thing under Sonic's hand?[/QUOTE]
A mug with Yu on one side and Izanagi on the other.

I've been wanting Broken Blade; it looks really good! It's so damn spendy, though. I'm hoping to grab it on sale during Rightstuf's Christmas sale =D

Too lazy to upload the pic again, but I got my VGM Holy Grail today :whee: - http://myfigurecollection.net/picture/541748

Here's what's in the photo:
- OutRun 2 Sound Tracks (the grail)
- Sonic the Hedgehog PM Figure (20th Anniversary Version, Joypolis exclusive)
- Mato & Yomi Nendoroid Petit set (Wonder Festival 2011 [Winter] exclusive)
- Nadia Nendoroid Petit (Monthly Anime Style #2 bonus)

Also, so far this month, have gotten a pile of manga, the Retro Game Master DVD set (which everyone should buy), a Dragon Quest sofubi Hammerhood, Miku Hatsune papercraft, Ace Attorney buttons (Edgeworth and the Blue Badger), and Pokemon Black 2. I think that's it... this is going to be a packed month once it's done.
 
[quote name='wiggyx']Anything special about it other than being Japanese?[/QUOTE]
