Are power ranger items in demand? I have like every zord for like the first 6 years of the show/movies I think. It's been at least 10-15 years since I looked at my stuff so not sure what I have.

The Season 1 Zords and the White Tigerzord got Legacy re-releases, which dropped the price of them slightly, especially Dragonzord and Tigerzord.

However, if you have all the accessories (weapons, helmets, etc.), you could easily get $50 for the MMPR Megazord, and $70-$80 minimum for the others. Thunder Megazord will net you over $100 if you have all the parts.
 
Had been lazy, so much of this was last months. A lot also not pictured, cause I'm in the process of getting storage space...

Got it today, though it was delivered on Wednesday.

Got it today, delivered yesterday. Tried to cancel, but it wouldn't let me (heard it was a POS).

These were all recent. I don't remember if I posted a picture of Beauty and the Beast already, but oh well. Sold the FFXV code, traded in Type-0, and kept the steelbook+extras (not pictured) for basically $10. Princess Kaguya was $18 after Cartwheel. Mockingjay is Region B.

The games came when they were released. The amiibos I got today from Target. Figured since Kirby is getting hard to find, might as well get it on sale before I regret it.

That reminds me, I haven't gotten the coin from NISA yet. Hmm.

Got the Rightstuf shipment today, so it was probably delivered Thursday. The pi-day blind bag items were trash. Story of Seasons from BBY, and saw it with the plush at Frys for a couple dollars less than MSRP. Technically not my purchase, but it's in the house now.

Not pictured: Two Claptraps and a ton of Legos (VIP double points + Walmart Faeries sale + Target Disney Princess sale)

I have to take a pic later of the stuff I've gotten

I'm most excited about my boxed Super Mario Bros 2 and 3 (I got them to save for my little one) and Gauntlet Dark Legacy PS2 (I had it and stupidly traded it in back in the day and regretted it til this day, I liked that game. I now never trade or sell anything :lol: )

I purposely don't keep a log because I don't want to know. :rofl:
lol. Just curious, why you decide to complete the Wii entire library? I actually thinking about doing it for ps4 but changed my mind. I currently almost have whatever thats out. I believe I'll go after all the steelboks tho.

Just for fun. It's not a cool system so I thought it'd be something interesting to collect that not a lot of people was collecting. I also became fascinated by the number of bizarre games released for it.

Wii Motes Plus a buck a piece, Monty Python BR for 1.99 from a Thrift Store.

Been looking for El Shaddai for a long time, someone finlly traded in a copy to Gamestop.

Warcraft 2 PS1 was 1.50. Apparently its pretty pricey. Been lookig for KOTOR for a long time, picked it up for 2.50. R.O.D. the movie, Sins of a Solar Empire GOTYE (always been interested), Big O II Complete Series were 1.75 each at a new store by my house. Pretty awesome.

Had a pretty great day today. Decided to go out thrifting since there weren't enough sales to make garage sales worth it. Glad I did.

My first 3 stops I found nothing, but finally at a Goodwill that never has anything I found a USB Rock Band adapter. Not sure what it's for yet, but these consistently go for 20 or more online so for $1.99 what the heck.

At the next stop I found a keyboard controller for Rock Band Wii for $5.00. Figured why not, I never see the keyboards.

My first good find of the day was at a little out of the way pawn shop I almost never go to. Grabbed Sugar and Annie Hall on Blu for $4.00 each and Mario Party 4 in a GC case but with no manual/art for $2.00.

My next two finds had almost nothing but then stopped at a Pawn Shop that often has good game prices. No games for me today but grabbed 6 Blu Rays they had marked down to $3.50 each. Got Shawshank Redemption steelbook, End of Watch, The Bling Ring, Stoker, Chinatown and The Place Beyond the Pines for $3.50 each.

Then stopped at a Half Price Books where I got Castlevania Lords of Shadow complete clearanced for $2.00.

My next stop had nothing but then I hit another Savers where I found a copy of the Diving Bell and the Butterfly on DVD for $2.99 and Ace Combat 2 for $2.99.

At a local game store I grabbed Bushido Blade 2 for $12.99.

My last stop of the day I hit up a Goodwill I almost skipped. No good games but as I'm walking to the back I see a piano sitting on top of a shelf that has DVD/Blu Rays on it. I couldn't see anything but I jokingly think in my head, wonder if its a Miracle Piano. Imagine my shock when I pull it down and it actually is a Miracle Piano. It has the power cord and original instruction manual. No adapter. It looks like it was originally the PC version but all I need is the adapter cable to get it running with an NES. Looks like those go for about 20-30 online.

Now for pictures.









 
Club Nintendo posters/Majoras Mask Messenger Bag/Greeting cards. (Also got digital codes for DK Country Returns Tropical Freeze and Metroid Fusion). Giving the greeting cards to a former coworker who would actually use them and not just throw them on a shelf like I would. 

Gamestop called today and my GC adapter was ready for pickup. I also used PowerUp points to finally bump up to Pro membership.

And yes I went to Target and asked if they still had the other Wii U bundle because I sold the other one for $450. I know some people on here might not like that but I told people about it and I know the employee was telling people about it.

How does the messenger bag look/feel? I ordered one but it hasn't arrived yet sadly. Hopefully it ships soon, but curious about it. Thanks.

Honestly its just okay, IMO more of a game shelf decoration than something Id actually use. Wish they went with a different color scheme than silver on black/

Upon hearing that Nintendo is essentially giving up on the Wii U, and (notwithstanding the veracity of that comment), hearing that it is no longer publishing several older releases, I've been forced to scour through a few stores in my area to make sure I don't miss out on some Wii U software. 

Picked up the last copies of Super Luigi U and Zelda WW-HD at my local stores.  Wonderful 101 was the second to last copy at Target.  Pikmin 3 was from Gamestop.  Worked out since I was planning on renewing my PowerUp anyways (Game Informer remains an excellent gaming mag).

Not particularly happy that Nintendo is basically doing one print run on most of its titles outside SMB.  I figure I'll have to eventually pick up Hyrule Warriors and DK=Tropical Freeze.  Given how much I've spent the last few days, I'm holding off on that for the time being.

 
Drove to an hour and a half Orlando to get a Majoras Mask N3DSXL...They had the LE guide as well, so price matched it to Gamestop for $17.50 Figured since I got the LE game for free due to BBY and just got the system, I needed to get the game. Used a movers coupon and a $5 birthday certificate to make the N3DSXL $186.36

Afterwards went to a nearby local Goodwill. I am a big SW fan...so when I found this stuff I was pleased to buy them.

The two puzzles are sealed and were $1 each. The two VHS tapes were 69 cents each, I got them because the artwork is stunning! They didn't have RotJ sadly. And the book was $1. In total it was just under $5 for everything.

I used to collect Star Wars books. Have 3/4 of the current literature out there, but now they are kept in a box in the garage, along with my Animorphs and Goosebumps collections.

I have not bought a SW item that wasn't super cheap since I discovered CAG, gaming takes 90% of my disposable income now. This photo is a few years old as well, but here is my SW (and other fiction) book collection

I used to visit a used bookstore that sold the majority of its books at .50 a pop for paperbacks and 1.00 for hardcovers. That was where I purchased the majority of my books.

 
Got my Loot Crate in today and I am kinda disappointed. I like the USB flash drive, the T-shirt is OK and the playing cards are high quality, but it's all pretty meh
 
Yeah, loot crate is weak IMO. Cancelled after 2 months. Just a bunch of convention giveaway tidbits really.


On my quest for complete hardware collections...

The only actual limited/special NGPC (Hanshin Tigers). Had to make a special display stand to go with it ;)

The Star Ocean was in a random box that my partner had at the office. He goes "you want it?" Um, yes. Very yes. Now to make a label and cover...

Still pulling my hair out w/ Target & Walgreens trying to find Cranky Kong, Red Pikmin, & Ganon but at least I found most of the 2.5" ones of the new wave thanks to Walmart.

 

 
.....Walgreens has the WON figures?! And whats up with the white boxes, my Toon Link is in the red/black box.
Yea, though Walgreens charges $4.49 - $5 for them and most stores i've been to have only 1-2 total (If you find a mgr they can look up every store in 20mi to see how many each store has).

The white boxes are the Walmart ones. The figures themselves are the same, Jakks just gave Walmart packaging that is easier to steal the figure out of (its only secured by a plastic tie). There is also a WM exclusive 2.5" star Mario figure that is limited to 3,000 in the entire country.

Loot Crate



World Of Nintendo figures and Yoshi Amiibo from Target, Samsung Galaxy S6 to finally replace my ageing HTC EVO 4G LTE, PS2 controller from GS (free after coupon), and a Spectra Xbox One controller from Goodwill for $21 ($50 retail)



Playstation 24in 1080p 3D monitor from Groupon, its refurbished but works great so far. Used Amazon giftcards to pickup some 3d glasses since this was monitor and power cable only.
