March 2013 Item Get! Pick Up Thred.

[Dravenae]

Whats the deal with snes collecting.  Talk about cleaning out ones wallet.  Just overpaid for Super Metriod, but am glad to finally own it.

Next game on my want list is Shadow Run.  Probably have to pay over 50 for it. 

I spent 90 Euros on the big box version of Super Metroid... The cart was absolutely fucking pristine though... Looked like it was never played...

Those are only fun for stuff that you CAN'T get otherwise.  I don't want any of my normal retail games to be of that nature :/


Ultimate pickup!  Got it at a garage sale for 10 bucks

I got the joke, because it is snowing near me (PA), and most likely near Wiggy (OH).

1) who in their right mind would have a yard sale in the snow
2) who in their right mind would go yard saleing while it is snowing.

I knew it wasn't for real =P.  Either it wasn't real, or he dumpster dived to get it for his $10, but again, I knew he wasn't telling the truth =P

Yeah, no super discount on that bad boy.  I paid full retail and don't regret it one bit

Super Metroid? Yes, I concur! I started playing Castlevania first, got told that later games ripped off Metroid (keep in mind, my first Castlevania was Rondo of Blood, which is my favourite!), so I started playing Metroid, with my first one being Fusion, then Prime, then Super Metroid... After that (baring maybe Rondo of Blood), I was like, "Castlewhat? Go away... I R PLAYING METROID!!!"... Fucking love those games! Fusion and Super Metroid in particular!

I have been busy and was not paying attention to this topic, you can't blame me for not knowing your escapades with the 12D printer.

[Super GDubs Fighter II Turbo: Championship Edition III]

Went into blockbuster today, which is closing shop soon, and picked up these DVD's for a dolla each.
2 Sonic Underground DVDs
Super Mario Super Show (Mario out west)
The Collector (good movie IMO)

So, I ask them about store shelving units, and they have one in their office that's perfect for DVDs.  About... 7.5 feet tall, 4 feet wide, and about 6 inches deep.  I'll be hauling it very soon (possibly tomorrow) for $25. 

Finally, an awesome to the ceiling shelving unit for when I get ready for Onion casing!

Anyone have any idea what it would cost to ship a new game from the US to Canada? I'm badly wanting one of Best Buy's $20 copies of Darksiders II for the Wii U, but would need a kind soul to purchase and ship it to me, assuming the rate isn't ridiculous.

[wiggy]

Looks like about 8 bucks via 1st class mail for me to send something that size/weight.

[Mick Dundee]

if I lived nearer to a Best Buy I would do it for you....however the nearest to me is about 45 min away.

[wiggy]

I'll gladly go.  About 5 minutes down the road from me

[Retro Deckades]

Sweet Wiggy! Thanks bro! Let me know if you have any luck.

My other option to reduce the shipping costs would be to have it sent to my family's business P.O. box which is about 5 minutes across the border. But if the international shipping turns out to be only $8, that's totes affordable.

how did you know about this sale? I was getting ready to buy this from Gamestop and they still want $60 for it.

A poster on another forum mentioned it. I started a "Gaming Deals" thread on this site with the hope that we can all share any discounts we might hear about. You can find it here:

If you are at all interested in the Wii U release of Need For Speed: Most Wanted, EA's online store has a great deal on right now. Check it out in the thread!

[itsdavbaby]

Thanks ... Checking it out now!
