No pics, but I picked up Magna Carta 2 (Xbox 360), Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii), and Lost Odyssey (Xbox 360) with the 25% off GameStop coupons some nice CAGs sent me in the email.  Thanks guys!  (Already resold Xenoblade since I don't currently have a system to play it on.)

 


First Pick Up of the Month. 

Brother wanted Street Fighter 3D but didn't he want to wait for the price drop.

Picked up Sekirei from Amazon for $23 after $10 Promotional Credit from Pre-Ordering LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. Been meaning to pick it up and the $20 price hit the sweet spot.

These arrived today.



I think it's actually from 4 different orders.



Dead Space and Fallout arrived yesterday as part of a trade I made.  Got Last Story from AWD and was pleasantly surprised by the art book and soundtrack.  God of War was a Kmart clearance find.  The rest come from Gamestop - Ultimate Marvel as part of the trade in 2 for $50 deal.  I was looking for Rock Band 3 and Klonoa, picked up Guitar Hero since it was free.

Also picked up Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox.

Funny thing about L/R. I bought it thinking it would be Volume 1 + Artbox, since it was only $1.86. With goHastings' sale, it ended up being $1.31. Arrived and lo and behold, it is the artbox and all 4 volumes! Nice!

June Collection Update in August because: reasons! It's got the normal sampling of CEs, steelbooks, and quirky pickups. I've also had a chance to play a lot of these titles, so I talk about them a good bit, too!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzpR24-dBz4

 
My Uncle gave me a Sega Saturn (wires, no controllers), two Guncon 2s, and a couple other stuff. He was going to give me all of his games and the controllers. But he was too drunk to remember.:lol: Oh well, next time is the charm. 

 
Guess I'll post after watching previous months threads.

Street Fighter X Tekken Fightstick $24.99 ($22.49 after PUR) converted to pre-owned at Gamestop

Metro 2033 $16.99

Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution $12.99

Buster Bros. Collection $1.00 clearance at HPB

4GB Vita memory card $6.99

 
Well, these all have come in the past few days, and am very happy to add these all to my collection!



First up, my anime pickups! Most of these are ones I've been wanting for a while now. 



And lastly, more manga. Can never go wrong!

I did! I even posted it in the converted to pre-owned thread but apparently it got lost amongst all of the Tomb Raider talk.

I suspected they were converted to pre-owned about two weeks ago when all within a 100 mile radius disappeared online but I didn't have a chance to go back to the only Gamestop I knew had one in stock until Friday. I didn't want to alert an employee of the possible conversion by inquiring beforehand so I had to wait it out and hope it would still be there, which it was.

  Got a Gameboy player with mint disc (no case sadly) for $17.50 out of pocket at the local game store, (traded in some ps2 games that were sitting on my tradelist for awhile)

 
Xillia LE unboxing. My CE will be here on Friday, and I'll put up a video for that, too. I'm kind of regretting doing this one in the evening. The Shadows and lighting aren't exactly ideal. Either way, this is a nice little edition.

I'm too lazy to take pics....

  Grabbed a LN copy of Medievil from the local game store today,  no cracks/ scratches on case / disc manual is pristine

Watched your vid. You mentioned the DLC of the LE and that it wasn't in the CE, but those 2 costumes are in the CE too, along with 2 extra xmb themes in the same DLC voucher. At least I think it's the same costumes as LE, only have CE. Cress costume for Jude and Stahn costume for Milla, from the CE.

 
Found some goodies while traveling southeast asia.

Mega jet complete in box, bomberman snes multiptap new old stock d-xhird is mint, not a scratch, and the 4 pokemon games for $240. Streets of rage was given to me by a friend and is bootleg. Not pictured is a lion king 2 cart in box which actually is an original game made by bootleggers that never had an official release.

Also got the tron inspried reebok pumps in singapore which was a miracle because tryin to find a us size 13 in asia is nearly impossible and my old shoes were falling apart. They were 60% off and I picked them up for $60

Did they change that? I remember that it wasn't initially that way because tons of people were bitching about it. Perhaps they went back and changed it. If so, that's pretty cool.

Edit: Okay, looked back over the siliconera articles detailing both editions. They definitely added the DLC to the CE. Originally, the CE had no DLC (that was stated by Bamco to be exclusive to the LE) and there was no mention of a theme anywhere. That's what I get for tuning out after I pre-order lol.

  nice, i got mine too from bestbuy tho
Click to expand...
funny thing is I bought two one to play and one to keep sealed. I love Tales games they are definitely one of my favorite franchises so I bought it to support it. It turns out that I had it in my gamefly queue and I got that shipped to me so I will just play the gamefly copy and keep the other 2 sealed, judging by past tales games these will definitely rise in value after awhile.

 
Got these games over the past couple weeks but most are recent.

Not after you factor in how many people are trying to resell it. By the time you factor in reshipping cost and possibly ebay/amazon/paypal fee's you're going to be seeing a nickel and dime profit.

Even a lot of the people who only got one collectors edition are getting a vanilla copy to keep it sealed. While that keeps their own copy valuable and in pristine condition it lowers the value of them in general because a whole lot of these in circulation will be unopened in pristine condition.

You paid at least $100 they aren't going for much more then that on ebay. I see a lot under $150. Which means off of ebay in a private sale you're lucky to get $120-$130. That's pretty much leaves you breaking even after just shipping cost. Maybe if you hold it for a year or two you'll make another $20 bucks or so.

IMO really pointless for such a nickel and dime profit with over $200 in overhead.

Unless it gets the status and recognition that Ni no kuni did.

Just based on the fact that you got two goes to show what everyone's thoughts are.

thanks for your input but im not talking about selling it now, im talking years. If you look at past tales games and look how much they are worth you will see what im talking about. Its only $200 im not hard up for cash so i can spend the money its not a big deal to me and if it turns out to be worth nothing down the line oh well i can at least sell it for cost, not a big deal.

Tron is from Disney Movie Rewards. Everything else from SecondSpin. I also paid for the Tylor OAV collection and TMNT S1P1, but the latter ended up being TMNT 80's Volume 1 and the former is a bootleg.

The Third is from SecondSpin. Royal Space Force and Smallville were from FYE. Both were $9.99 and they were having a 2-for-$16 sale on all $9.99 DVDs and Blu-rays.
 
Grabbed an SNES with 15 games for $30. From the story the lady gave me, her son played it all the time until they got him a PS3 for his birthday. Everything is in good condition and all the games work, I'm happy with the pickup as I've been wanting a SNES for a long ass time.

Here's a box of PS3 games from Japan. I've been putting off buying most of these for ages because it's so bloody expensive to import, but with Ketsui Extra out, it was time to bite the bullet and go for it!

i have amazon prime and i ordered late and i already got both my collectors editions of xillia. I always order stuff a little later and always get it on release day. I am convinced amazon ships out prime orders before the standard ones.

 
It's been a while since I posted anything. Some of the stuff I got for my birthday and I also paid off my PS4 pre-order, so that's really nice.
