Today I opened boxes that I recieved on Friday containing 38 various Lego road plates.

It's been April for 4 minutes so far.
So I have nothing. :'(

Had a Friend Get a SD 2 SNES, and I helped him set it up and upgrade the firmware on it.
He gave me these 3 Atari 2600 games as a thanks. Happy to have them.

I technically picked these up in March but I'll just post them here...
Picked up the 2 Wai Wai World from a local independent game store on Friday:

and then on Saturday, Vintage Stock was having a buy 2 get 1 sale so I picked up these:

I was really surprised to see TG16 games even if they are not the best.

I purchased these on the 31st, but didn't finish everything till Monday, so I'm counting it as April.

Very nice. I actually like those better than mine, but I certainly won't complain about what I have. ;)

The Virtua Fighter Remix is the rare retail version. Nearly every VFR disc says "Not For Resale". A very small number were sold in regular Saturn longboxes (I believe they were sold only in Canada). U.S. Saturn owners were sent the game for free for registering their systems. I still have my original disc from 1995.
I bought Panzer Dragoon during the final minutes of one of Ebay's 15% off everything sales. Listed for $45 with free shipping, got it for $38.
Picked up the 4 Disney CD's for $0.99 each at Goodwill. So many memorable songs.

So I got my Square enix sale shipment in yesterday.

And I spent a lot of time cleaning and boxing my 3DO games in the UV box protectors. 37 games and only one had a little trouble fitting.

Hesch, those shelves look awesome! Where did you find those?
-
There's apparently still a video rental store in a small town near me. They moved to a new location and didn't need em all. He was advertising them on Facebook market... It's where I find most of my deals these days

No pictures...
I got Lotus Turbo Challenge for Mega Drive, F1 World Grand Prix for Master System as well as 2 CDs/Vynils (old german bands) today.
Was hoping for more (it was something like a yard sale), but most of the games were like... 1.5 times the prizes of ebay O_O
At least the vynil (great condition) was just 5 Euros and the CD 2,50 Euro.... :)

Dont worry, stupid game prices happen here in the stats as well. I remember a copy of Dragon Force at a 2nd and charles and they wanted $250 for it. It was opened and pages were missing from the manual, but they had a complete and rare sticker on it. I called the store manager over and showed that the game was not complete, and showed that a sealed copy cost $200 on price charting. He refused to change the price and simply said that "someone will buy it." Thank God I got that game for $30 when the saturn was on clearance at EB.

Have not posted pics in a while here, but I just started importing famicom games, at the same time bought a disk system from eBay already working with Mario bros 2. Also have another batch of 16 famicom games on the way and a busted twin famicom .

I bought new black suit as one of my sisters has wedding on Saturday... 500 freaking Euros even after discounts... ::)
As I'm bit on the chubby side I had to take a bus trip to a shop 300 kilometers away to get it.
I still need shoes.
I can't bother to put it on now, but I might share picture of it if I remember on Sunday.
-
2 Euro OVP Vibration Pack for Sega Dreamcast (< this sounds soooo wrong), Mario Paint (yeah, I was missing that), Tales of the Abyss (japanese), Harvest Moon: Back To Nature
as well as Outrun and Sailor Moon for Mega Drive.
All of those games had very good prizes, below the normal prize :)
-
Finally picked up an OSSC and an RGB cable for my 1CHIP SNES. Hypothetically should get the best picture possible but I'm having some issues setting it up unfortunately :-\ My TV takes the signal but it makes the pixels super sharp and it looks way too blocky. Hoping I can get it sorted in settings, if I find time this weekend!

Dang I love seeing these shelving posts haha, looking forward to having the space for these sometime soon. Looks great!
-
Thanks!
Now I just need to set aside some money to order some of Wiggy's sexy Displai pieces to put on the red bar at the top. Each shelf is a seperate manufacturer, so it should look pretty great

That'll look awesome, you'll for sure have to post an updated picture once that's up. It'll be like a full on real game store look haha.

That looks great man.!!!

I love those shelves. Really nice looking.
I bought a second Sega Mega Drive (PAL Model I) a few minutes ago for 30 bucks (shipping, cables and original controller included). I already
have one MD, but my MD has a very weird video issue and I NEVER found a solution to that... (there was like a... wave going through
the picture. Like... a horizontal wave that looked like an really shitty picture over rf, while the rest was perfect clean rgb. Also it really had problems
with sync on the framemeister. I think there is something wrong with the video chip inside the console. I checked all the caps etc, but
never found anything).
Also I got lucky with an Sega Mega - Master Converter (not the Power Base-one), which I got for a fraction of the prize others were selling it.
-
The shelves look great! I’m totally jelly.
Square-Enix needs to stop having clearance sales. I can’t NOT buy these games, even though I’ll NEVER play them.

Picked up two games I've never played but always wanted to.
(http://i64.tinypic.com/2njvmme.jpg)
Played SOTN for a few minutes so far and I really like it. I could have always sprung for the $5 and bought Guardian Heroes on Xbox Live Arcade but I never quite got around to it. Hopefully soon I'll have some time to delve deeply into both.

Same.

Had an awesome time at Midwest Gaming Classic again this year! The new venue was great and really helped with the crowd. Saw a TON of TG16 games and a lot of other really rare stuff. I didn't have any "big" purchases but did pick up a lot of good stuff. Got Jon St. John to sign by Duke Nukem box and I found a CIB copy of A Boy and his Blob and was able to get it signed by David Crane and Garry Kitchen. Besides the vendor hall, spent a lot of time on the new Iron Maiden pinball which was a lot of fun.

Nice haul! let us know how the tg16 repros work out.

Nice haul! let us know how the tg16 repros work out.
I haven't had a chance to test them out yet but they were more or less home made from what the seller told me. He said they will work in a TG16 or PC Engine. I usually don't buy repros but I doubt I'll ever actually own the real versions of either of these games so I'm ok with these lol.

Got a bunch of stuff but put it all away and am way to lazy and busy to get it back out for pics. I did however take a pic of this I got a Half Price Books for $3.50. Nintendo Power Diddy Kong Racing VHS.

There has been some fantastic stuff come in this month.
I don't usually post my pick ups but I feel like I got a pretty good haul. Fantastic boxed mega drive, comes with cardboard inners and plastic over each controller and power pack and a massive 76 game bundle. Unfortunately no musha, but came with all sonic games and some gems like Thunder Force IV, Splatterhouse 2, Rocket Knight Adventures and Phelios. Cost me $500 all up, which seemed pretty good for Australian prices. Figured a boxed console is worth $150 then approximately $5 a game seemed fair.
I've got an imgur album if anyone wants to have a look. https://imgur.com/a/N4WZj

Wanted one of these since the steam machines were revealed...
Finally got pissed off enough at my old Dell WinXP machine to bite the bullet and get a new workstation/general purpose PC, It's a Dell e6410 i5 with 6GB of ram
(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy106/gameathlon/DSC_0034_zpsppntpyww.jpg) (http://s782.photobucket.com/user/gameathlon/media/DSC_0034_zpsppntpyww.jpg.html)
Looks good, works well with all my equipment, I'm happy with it.
Finally not a pick up, just a little something I cobbled together;

I wanted a cooler for the laptop but didn't have the money to buy one, so spent a couple of hours looking through my junk cupboards, I had all the parts I needed, so this thing was free! it looks like shit, sounds even worse but kicks out a shed-load of cool air!

A big Thanks to my 2 Lyft drivers for helping me find Game stores this weekend.

I was out in Indianapolis this weekend for a concert and got some game hunting in. 5 Disc Replays and 2 Exchanges later this was my haul. Found some good stuff that I just don't see around my area for good prices.

Lucky alternate time zone guy! I'm guessing it's already Thursday the 26th there? Here in the US, that's not until tomorrow. As I write this message it's a little past noon Wednesday. Technically not out until Friday, but they always do 7pm and midnight shows the day before. My wife and I are seeing it at 1:30pm Friday. At least the US doesn't have to wait an extra week this time!

Wednesday. ;D
First show was at 14:00 but that was 3D.
I went to see the 17:30 2D showing.
Usually there is 00:01 showing on major movies but not today.
-
Ah so the rest of the world's release date is still before USA. No fair! Official US release date is Friday the 27th. We can see it Thursday most places, but not today.

Got my tickets for 7:40 tonight. EXCITEMENT.

Late April Haul. Shantae Special Day One Edition, a sealed copy of Virtua Fighter 3tb for just 5 bucks,
my very first neo geo (cd) game (with my own case)... the rest were "1 Euro a piece"-Games, I just happened to
buy with the rest, because of... well, they were REALLY cheap XD And I quite liked the Ankh Demo... soooooo...
I will probably buy an old strategy pc game in the next few hours. Still sealed in a Big Box and under 10 bucks. :)
