December 2013 Pick Ups!

That sucks that they want you to pay shipping on something that was free and was damaged before you received them. I just received my posters yesterday (Pikmin, Zelda and Mario) and they were not damaged at all, I just wish they were all the same size, or a normal size, so I could easily find cheap frames for them but I don't want to spend a bunch of money framing free posters.

yeah but what gets me is how the hell something that is no longer available to buy but they can still send out replacements

I don't want to spend a bunch of money framing free posters.

 Sometimes you can find a frame close to the same size and trim it if you measure and cut right. The cheap ones at Wal-Mart that the sides just grab on. I have done that for 2 posters. 23" x 24" posters from Gamestop required me to buy a 32 x 24 frame. That one was easy though.

 Like I said. Measure it out and trim pieces accordingly. Shouldn't cost more than about $10 a poster

They probably have some spare just in case a extra needs to be sent.

Picked up a eshop copy of Megaman X on Wii U for 2 bucks last night

Went to my local thrift shop today.  It's pretty big and I've found some amazing stuff there.  Today they had a half off sale so I swooped in for this:
(It also helps my office is 5 mins away so I can shoot over during lunch or a break in my schedule)


The lot cost me about $15, everything works:



Green Gameboy Color + 3 games (Super Mario Bros Deluxe, The Grinch, Beauty & the beast) - $5 for the lot
Dungeon Explorer for DS - $4
NFL Blitz N64 - $1
Super Mario bros 2 NES - $1 (this entire cart is covered in sharpie.  So i'll either make a new shell, or keep as a backup in case anything happens to
                                          the insides of my good version of this game)
PS2/3 AV cable - $1 (can never have too many of these)
Xbox DVD remote - $1
There was a broken Xbox 360 controller they let me have for free because it was falling apart.  I kept the cable extension since I often find controllers missing these
and...

BREATH OF FIRE IV FOR $1 !!!

All in all, good day.

Today I picked up 7 Nintendo 64 games and a rumble pack for 50 bucks, games are:

Super Mario 64
Mario Tennis
007 Golden Eye
Revolt
1080 Snowboarding
Blast Corps
Hot Wheels

All PAL so they're worth a bit of money

Also I'm fairly certain I now own over 100 PS2 games. Picked up another 20 or so since my last post.

Another MVS pick-up! Got my copy of Blazing Star today. Also picked up myself an Ironclad reproduction cart last month I never got around to posting. Not sure why they ever cancelled the Ironclad MVS release. Great game! Anyway, both fantastic shmups!
