pretty much. I prefer anime over manga but since the anime is out of print this is the only way to support him for now until the hunter x hunter 2011 anime gets licensed.

Latest pickups!
Very happy to have gotten the LE of Shiki after forgetting about the Steins Gate one -.-
And also the Welcome to the NHK light novel and Vol 3 of Electric Pikachu
Just started watching it with my buddy this weekend. 6 episodes in and have very good impressions of it so far. May possibly break into the top 10, but doubt into top 3 haha

My internet has been very limited since moving and I now live an hour away from modern civilization, so I have no real pick-ups this month. But I did get a few decent things at the local thrift store (cross-posted from HERE)...
I stopped by the local thrift store today and found some goodies. I didn't expect there to be any video games whatsoever because most people around here aren't into gaming (most are into the outdoors or meth, sometimes both) but I found Side Pocket and Test Drive II for Genesis, both complete and in good shape (except for Side Pocket's manual). They also had Quarterback Attack for Saturn, also complete; even has the coupons and a little protective sponge. One corner of the case is broken so it won't stay together, but everything inside is in perfect condition. If it weren't for the case, I'd swear it was brand new. All of the games were $3 each, which is more than I wanted to pay, but game finds are so rare and I think this is the first time I've seen a Saturn game in person since 1996, so I went ahead and got them.
I was also happy to snag a bunch of glasses from various casinos and bars like Hard Rock, Fitzgerald's, Lady Luck, and a few others. Also got a couple of wine glasses from Solvang and some nice whiskey glasses, along with a couple of other pieces. When I was loading everything into my cart, I didn't even notice that they were on sale for 10 cents each! So I ended up paying $1.60 for all of these instead of $6.
It's hard to tell, but there are 8 of those tall glasses in that picture. When everything is all put away and I can find my nice set of gold-rimmed crystal wine glasses, I'll take some good pictures of my bar. But for now, you can take a look at where all of my glasses will eventually be:
A lot of glasses haven't been put in the cabinets yet and, as you can see, the ones that are there are a bit disorganized. I just moved in last week and I've just barely started working on putting the bar together and it's currently still a low priority. I need to finish putting away my library and toy collection so those boxes are finally out of the way.
If you look closely, you may be able to see some Garbage Pail Kids stickers on the minifridge (stocked full of booze and stuff for cocktails). There's also the reflection of a naked fat guy...I suggest not trying to focus on it too much.
And finally, I also grabbed these board games for a total of $4.50:
They're in need of some cleaning, but I think I got a good price for them. All in all, I'm pretty happy with my finds. I even grabbed a couple of toys and a Winnie The Pooh mirror for my kid, as well as a cord that will fit my tape rewinder.

I love how they advertise the CN coins so prominently on a console that doesn't have internet enabled, cuts out most of the interesting rewards. Unless Canada has a different set of rewards that I don't know about. Still cool though, I wouldn't mind having one.Damn thing looks and feels like a cheap Chinese clone console, but it's still a cool addition to my collection of useless consoles alongside the Satellaview

Just got this in the mail. Stoked to get it hooked up and try it out. Was lucky enough to have gone ahead and purchased when could still get 3 months of netflix for free, basically made the cost 15 bucks for this little wonder.

I got more stuff this month (more like these past two weeks). I am going to post those pick ups in the Craigslist/Garage sale finds threads since I am trying not to make this post to long.
All this was trades from a fellow collector. Traded a PS2 slim SNES and a few games. The SNES game is Cybernator. The Game Boy games are TMNT Fall of the Foot Clan and Godzilla
Once again used some trade fodder to bring my out of pocket total down to $70. I really wish that Gamecube had some kind of special edition markings or something.
My girlfriend's pick up.
I hope August will be as good as late July was for me.
