    Playstation 5 Re-stock Thread

    I actually hadn't been interested in a PS5, as I never got a PS4, so I'm fine waiting, but my son turns 16 at the end of the month and he wanted one. I saw Spawn Wave this morning talking about Target restock, and I got lucky with an OLED last month(son's OG NS had issues right before Xmas), so...

    The Home Arcade Tremendous Deals and Discussion Thread

    Last call on New Wave Toys latest Replicade 1/6 scale arcade cab of "Missle Command", as the preorders close today at 6 PST. They are offering 2 cabs, one is the OG arcade unit(149.99) and the other is the "Field Test Edition(169.99)", and both have a standard discount of $10 for...

    The Home Arcade Tremendous Deals and Discussion Thread

    Since the Replicades are 1/6 scale, they have offered USB/second controller & HDMI for a minute, as those are 1 player at 1 time for sure. It looks like Quarter Arcade is now going that route as well. I applaud the efforts to make these playable to more people in different situations and...

    The unOFFICIAL Art Book Pre-Order Thread

    I've gotten all their major releases over the last few years, and all have come DHL express, so normally 2-4 days(I'm in the US). I often get their posters, and they used to use rather thin tubes(have been improved in recent times), so I've had several arrived damaged. I've always contacted Sam...

    The Home Arcade Tremendous Deals and Discussion Thread

    Here's a video from Numskull Designs, and it shows their latest Quarter Arcade offerings, as well as some mentions in regards to why some past announced games still have not arrived. Seems the C19 has effected them more than New Wave Toys, as they are changing from the wood of past cabs, to...

    The Home Arcade Tremendous Deals and Discussion Thread

    Yeah, sadly with C19, the prices have risen, but I will say the quality has been going up as well. The prices currently, are what was the initial plan, but once Numskull jumped in with their 1/4 scale, it caused both companies to lower the initial pricing. That being said, I've always found both...

    Nintendo eShop Deals and Discussions

    Yep, on the N website, it says more coming late October I believe, but I expect those to go fast as well, unless your at the right place at the right time. They still stock the NES & SNES controllers, so with that in mind, it's only a matter of supply catching up with demand. Which sadly in...

    The unOFFICIAL Art Book Pre-Order Thread

    Bookshelf full, hell, mine are sprawled out on my office floor like high-rise towers of a major metropolitan city. I haven't even got to the bookshelf being full yet, and I'm still buying, so yeah, misery loves company I suppose. LOL

    PS Vita Deals & Discussions Thread

    Hey, is the art book/guide book thread still around? Couldn't find it, so didn't know if it moved, got closed, etc. Anyways, Sandeep over at 2 Old 4 Games is offering his PS Vita game manuals round 3 tomorrow on his site. Sadly, by the time I discovered these, most of my Vita collection was long...

    Limited Run Games Thread - Nothing is Limited, We Make Everything Now!

    Agreed, but based on all the things stated he's doing for LRG, his plate seems rather full, so I won't be holding my breath. And until I see how this new endeavor works out, I would rather wait, as then there is more hope of getting his future books anyplace other than LRG.

    Limited Run Games Thread - Nothing is Limited, We Make Everything Now!

    WOW, who knew?(Well, you obviously). LOL This explains a lot and then some, so I'll assume he's dug in tighter than an Alabama tick at this point, so expecting him to go elsewhere is off the table. I had seen awhile back Jeremy had done an art book in one of their SE/CE and assumed it was just...

    Limited Run Games Thread - Nothing is Limited, We Make Everything Now!

    Well that sucks and then some, but I don't see why working for LRG means you have to use them to distribute your own books does it? I'm guessing he's working with them to write all guides/art books for their over priced SE/CE offerings? And that's cool I guess, as Jeremy is a good writer in the...

    Limited Run Games Thread - Nothing is Limited, We Make Everything Now!

    If memory serves me correctly, they used to hold back 10% of an overall run to replace damages and the like, and whatever wasn't used on replacements, always got sold at a later date. I'm not sure if those same rules apply anymore, but if they do, a LE book run of 500, would have 50 held back to...

    Limited Run Games Thread - Nothing is Limited, We Make Everything Now!

    My shipping was $32, as I got one CE and one standard, as I missed out on the other CE, so I'll report back once my order arrives if a box is used or not. Sadly, this is what I warned the author about, and depending on how many of these books arrive in this manner, hopefully he'll go back to...

    Limited Run Games Thread - Nothing is Limited, We Make Everything Now!

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure the jig is up at this point in regards to those two dudes and their BS claims of fan service or "limited edition" items and actually caring. I've shipped thousands of items all around the world for years, and I shipped everyone of those items in the exact way I wanted to...

    Official Steamdeck thread

    I would only buy that model if I wanted the extra memory, as the screen is just a bonus, as I never play devices like this were I need glare protection, so useless feature for me. If playing outside or in sun light is an issue, it may be a feature for you, just depends on your needs? As stated...

    Official Steamdeck thread

    Yeah, this is now on my radar and then some, as I might just end up skipping the NS Lite, and just grabbing one of these, as this is a way better value. I would mainly be getting a Lite for indie titles anyways(don't care for most 1st party games) and I can get them cheaper and run much better...

    Switch OLED Model Announced

    Yeah, I was getting ready to post something similar, as I don't see this getting a discount until at least some point past summer of 2022. Also as stated, maybe wait if you really don't want the Lite, as that's kind of a waste. You've waited all this time, so why the rush now? For me, I prefer...

    Switch OLED Model Announced

    First you need to decide what you need in the Switch, and go from there? Do you play mostly portable, or docked? If it's 50/50, getting the Lite is probably not a good idea. If it's mostly docked, than the OG or the new OLED is the better option, or the "Lite" if mostly handheld is your poison...

    Switch OLED Model Announced

    Yeah, even when the Switch Lite came out, it wasn't to hard to find(or the NEW model NS), only once the pandemic panic buying started, did all models fly off the shelves. Offering preorders now would be good to gauge demand, but I'm sure they'll be producing all they can, because they will sell...
