Pickup from yesterday....

---

Went back to Book Off here in San Diego twice today... Once during lunch and again after work to browse around the whole store (It's pretty huge)... I need to stay away from that place or I'm going to end up BUYING BUYING BUYING...

Here's what I scooped up today...

2378156391_811fa77be2.jpg

$1 - Dengeki PlayStation Magazine from 12/24/2004. I originally bought this thing because it came with a DVD with a Hideo Kojima Metal Gear feature... but even better bonus was the Metal Gear Solid 3 stickers it came with!!

2378993972_5ea91ce0c9.jpg


2378155325_971305cb4d.jpg

$2 each. - Looking at the graphic novels/comics I saw something I haven't seen in forever. Viz Comics graphic novelization of Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory! Being that 0083 is my favorite Gundam series of all time, I just had to bite and buy em' all!

2378155939_b83e6638cb.jpg

$1 - Arcadia Magazine from Feb. 2001. I purchased this as it had historical coverage on USA vs Japan Street Fighter Competition. Awesome memories.

2378993548_6e806c349e.jpg

$6 - Gyakuten Saiban (Phoenix Wright) Official Fanbook Vol. 3 - This fanbook is filled with artwork and scenario stuff/interviews mostly focused on the third game. Also includes a preview section for Gyakuten Saiban 4 (Apollo Justice)!

2378993324_74dd69e47c.jpg


2378165755_f299133912_o.jpg

$1 - Mao Inoue 2007 Photo Book. Such a steal, $1! The cute chick that rang me up told me it was only $1 even though the price tag said $13... lol. If you don't know who Mao Inoue is, she is best known for the live drama of Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flowers) and more recently First Kiss. I think she's a cutie. I was looking for the Aya Hirano photobook but couldn't find it anymore :(

2379632390_f6e7f4a16e.jpg

$6 - The World of Akira Toriyama art book. I love Akira Toriyama art. Some like it, some don't. I'm a big fan of Dragonball and Dragon Quest, so this was a no brainer for me.

$9 - 20th Anniversary Gundam Regeneration art book. Newtype's illustrated collection which features tons of original artwork and concept artwork from the Gundam series. Hot stuff.

2378794911_e5f493dfc5.jpg

$6 - Sailor Moon art book. I got this for my daughter. She'll be surprised when she visits me next! She loves Sailor Moon!

2378794725_9601961237.jpg

$6 - King of Fighters 98' art book - Awesome art book that features everyone's favorite SNK chars... Sorry for the shitty phone camera quality pics.

2378794559_24a4288680.jpg

$1 each. Utada Hikaru CDs. Distance album, Colors single, and Hikari single. $1 lol.

And here is what I got two days before:

2372255164_e410fb6cd7.jpg

$3 - The Bouncer (PS2) - NEW

2371419057_997fef6b22.jpg

$6 - Tekken Complete - Sony Magazine Deluxe

2371419535_0b811b8b46.jpg

$12 - Zelda Box - Includes 2 figurines, soundtrack, and Wind Waker reference book

At least add new pictures of Leah every time you bring up that you got that book.:lol:
And I just noticed her left arm looks... uncomfortable in that last picture.
 
[quote name='MarkMan']That's cuz I broke it after ravaging her last night...

Holy crap I didn't know there was a Book Off in San Diego! Aww damn I briefly strolled that area on my way back to the bay. Maybe I'll check back in the summer time.
 
This was on the last day of March but I might as well post what I got at my local Gamestop.

Wii Classic Controller, 13.49 Used with discount
1 GB SD Card, 13.49 Used with discount

They all were almost brand new as the controller had no scratches, tears, or dirt while the SD card was also in perfect condition.
 
Found that 25% coupon that ended today, last night and used it today.

Resident Evil 4 (GCN) - $7
Luigi's Mansion (GCN) - $7
Condemned 2 (Xbox 360) - $37
GCN to GBA link cable (acc) - #2.50

Been trying to build up my gcn collection since buying one from sears a few weeks ago.
 
Used the same coupon to pick up all of these:

Shadow Hearts 1 & 3 (had 2)
Odin Sphere
Tales of Symphonia
Rygar
Raiden III

Also picked up SMT: Devil Summoner & Metal Slug Anthology for PSP. Will probably return SMT:DS since it was displayed copy and the case has lots of scratches.
