Recieved Super Mario Odyssey with Traveller's guide.
Gave old copy of the game to my nephews.
Also got Joking Hazard Blast from the Past Booster Pack, Joking Hazard: Deck Enhancement #1, Joking Hazard: Deck Enhancement #2 and 3 copies of Joking Hazard: Deck Enhancement #3 (postage is cheaper by item if you buy more).

Target had massive shelves full of clearance stuff all over the freaking store. Everything from toiletries to electronics to grocery items. I went to exchange something and ended up walking around for like 45 minutes lol!
Did find a decent stack of cheap-o games while I was at it.

My Target had all those games in the clearance section for MONTHS, but they were all REGULAR PRICE!! What's up with that?
-
Are you sure it was actually the clearance section?
I ask because MANY target stores have an overstock section for games (I.e. not locked up) that aren’t priced any lower than when they were still in the display cases.

^^^Same.
But what gets annoying is that most of the games in that area don't have prices. However, from my experience, 99.99% of the time, if there is no price, it's not on clearance. They are pretty good about getting the clearance stickers on the games that have been marked down. But any time a game isn't in the case and it doesn't have a price, I'm always wondering.
This has been the first year in a while that my Target has had very few games on clearance. It's been a bit disappointing.

Ahh, yeah that's exactly what it was. So annoying!

You guy are lucky. My Clearance shelf at target is always empty. I asked an employee about it and he said "oh, we buy all that stuff up and resell it on Ebay."

Oh really? And he just openly said that? I'd imagine that's probably against store policy. I'd report that store to their head office.
Don't get me wrong. Employees shouldn't have the ability to buy clearance items removed from them, but when they buy everything for the purpose of reselling and leaving customers with nothing, that should be allowed.

Totally. I’ll occaiomally grab a few that I would want and scan them, but 99% of the time they aren’t even on sale, let alone clearance :(
Same for the lack of clearance items last year. When I first moved into our new house, the local target ALWAYS had some clearance games. 2018 was dry as a bone.

It totally is. I only know about it because I asked an employee about pricing on a number of items at one point. He told me that the stuff on those shelves isn’t EVER on sale/clearance and it’s only there because there’s no space in the display for it anymore. Some of that stuff sits there for years. They’ve had a Forza Horizon 2 Limited or whatever it’s called (has all the DLC included) forever. Still $99.99.
You guy are lucky. My Clearance shelf at target is always empty. I asked an employee about it and he said "oh, we buy all that stuff up and resell it on Ebay."
I had a guy at one target tell me that after asking where their clearance games were kept. Told me that he and another guy there buy ALL of it. Not exactly the best way to let a customer know that there aren’t any clearance games currently in stock.
But I guess I shouldn’t expect any different from teenage stock boys.

Late December and Christmas pickups.
My first LRG arrivals in a while.

And my parents picked one of these up for me for Christmas. They aren't perfect, but they are still a lot of fun. My son LOVES it and it's the perfect height for him. Also, even though it was a gift, I enjoy it a lot more knowing they only paid $150 for it. For that price this is a great item.

The game is one of fond memories for me too. I wish the game had the garbled voice dialogue but it still is a classic.

For starters, ome of you had asked me about the cart being damaged from last months pics. Here are 2 that I took before sending it back to PA.

Also my new VGM box. Some have also inquired how I like it. This is now my 4th one and the best so far. I do not thinbk I will continue since it is $75 plus shipping ($10) for ten games. It is a cool concept and I like that it helps build my collection for systems I do not really own much for but it could be better.
(https://i.imgur.com/VV9Ehj6l.jpg)
My games so far. Starlink was $30 on Amazon so definitely worth it. Panzer Dragoon was free from another site I visit. Also Fast Strikers was from Ebay because fuck Play Asia after the shit storm I had to deal with last month.

It's probably too late for most of you since I think these sold out pretty quick, but 3DS Nintendo Selects are $4.99 at Target if you are lucky enough to find any. The only reason I manged to get one was because it was hidden behind some regular games and no one else saw it. I just happened to grab Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon for $4.99.

Had a little trip out of town last weekend and got to hit a few store up.

I was pretty unimpressed with the plush and the controller being changed to the third party design but they were just stretch goals anyway. I did like that the box/manual/cart were very high quality.

I don’t know how Piko gets those licenses. He’s about the biggest a-hole I’ve ever met and has absolutely ZERO communication skills.
And yeah, that plush and the controller look dreadful :/
-
The plush looks like it was ordered from Wish
-
I kinda expected the plush to be bad because there was an update basically saying the quality/quantity was not as promised from the manufacturer and they pretty much ran away with the money after they got full payment. Just happy that what I actually bought that wasn't a free inclusion works great and is really high quality.

Couple of recent pickups. First, this Ubisoft triple pack was only released in the PAL region but it works just fine in a NTSC Xbox 360. Only physical releases of these 3 games. I've been trying to track down Housemarque physical releases which is how I found this.
(https://scontent-ort2-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/50291329_10102886013188608_5373386369450115072_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-2.xx&oh=2ed0c45038548baf267daf27e0970948&oe=5CD3B3FC)
Next up, some pickups from a local Toy show yesterday. Beyond the Beyond ended up having both art inserts in stuck in the back tray so I lucked out there.

First pickup of 2019. I haven't posted in awhile, due to sheer laziness to do so and greater (academic) priorities, so no pickups from the remainder of 2018 are shown. I did enjoy Puyo Puyo Tetris singleplayer though.
While I'm at it, here's a GBros. Adapter to remind you that I got it and that it exists in case you forgot.

Sadly one of the better game stores in the St. Louis area has decided to close up shop. They have some decent sales right now and I wanted to visit at least one last time. I'll miss that store.

Hit up the same store TDIRunner did last Friday and grabbed a few more common games I needed. Also picked up the asciipad after watching a My Life in Gaming episode that discussed it.

So 3 weeks ago I went to a Goodwill near my inlaws and I found a game for really cheap that I wanted but I had no money.
Yesterday I was up there again helping my stepson get a new car and I decided to stop by and see if the game was still there. I was so happy to see the game and bought it immediately and I am on Cloud 9.

I got it for 20 bucks! the game is complete and the only thing wrong is there was a hole in the box at the back. I don't plan on keeping the box since my collection only consists of boxes intended for storage.

Bunch of stuff.
Dead Cells was on sale and I have not heard one bad thing about this game so I figured I may as well try it out. Both Marios were Amazon preorders.

Tales and Travis are both more preorders from Amazon.

Yeah, I am not a fan of Rogue Likes either but this game just seemed to to everything right. But to each is own!

Haven't really gotten much new in a while. Thankfully, I preordered this when it was announced in July. Just got back from picking it up. ;D

The beautiful Resident Evil 2 Collector's Edition! I have been waiting for this remake for 17 years - basically since the original REmake came out in 2002 for the Gamecube. And so far, this has lived up to its near 20 year hype.

Admittedly, I am a tad disappointed in the map. I thought it would be of a higher quality paper like the map that came with the PS3 Japan release of the first game. Instead it just feels like cheap printer paper. But since this'll be framed anyway, I guess it's no big deal.

The statue is awesome. I had heard some criticisms recently that it was subpar in terms of detail and quality, but I am impressed. Nicely detailed, solid figure, good weight. Stand is a little flimsy, but nothing that I'm worried about. All in all,worth every cent.

My RE2 is set to arrive today. I pre-ordered it back when Amazon still offered 20% off. I was able to confirm on Wednesday that they still honored the 20% discount (they didn't charge me until it was shipped, but it was still 20% off).
I don't pre-order games often, but I've been waiting for this game for a very long time. I played the 1 shot demo and that was more than enough to convince me that the wait will be worth it. No big plans for this weekend, so hopefully I can get some good game time in.

What makes the “deluxe edition” actually deluxe?
-
What makes the “deluxe edition” actually deluxe?
Additional DLC. Outfits and whatnot. I also have some extra weapons. Some of the DLC comes with the Deluxe edition. Some of the DLC came with the pre-order. I forget which was which. Probably not worth the extra $10, but whatever. It's Resident Evil 2. Plus, like I said, I got it for 20% off anyway.
-
The DLC is mostly cosmetic - but it does have a new gun. The Albert (Wesker) variation of the Samurai Edge handgun.
Preorder DLC offered the Chris and Jill variants.
Chris has better accuracy, Jill's is more quickly drawn/fires quicker, Albert does slightly more damage.
While minor, they are all a step up from the handgun you start with, even after you upgrade it.
I found myself using Chris mostly, but I did switch to the others at times when I needed speed or more oomph. That said, you can't unload a weapon, so once the bullets are in, only way out is by pulling the trigger.
The deluxe pack also offers the ability to swap the soundtrack and in game sounds with the original PSX music/sound effects. Kind of silly, but was really cool to hear that music in the modern setting
All DLC can apparently be purchased separately on the store as well
