May 2014 Pick ups

[Blumpkin]

I'm so mad right now. I cancelled my loot crate sub last month and wouldn't you know it this months shirt is the best one i've seen. Don't get me wrong i've gotten some cool shirts but this is definitely the best i've seen. god dammit!

That Link shirt has been available as a cheap shirt of the day before, and I'm sure it will again. Just periodically peek at Day of the Shirt.

Digital River is a trainwreck.  I went through hell and back to get my Lightning Returns and FFX/X-2 remaster collector's editions.  This includes being charged twice and "losing" my order despite the fact I had proof it existed.

I wish that Namco, Square-Enix, and anyone else that uses Digital River, would just drop them. Out of four purchases I have had to make with them, only one has gone over well. That one was for the Wizard's Edition of Ni No Kuni, which I got lucky on getting seeing as they oversold for that edition and a lot of people got screwed out of it.

I am currently trying to receive the Tier-one pre-order bonuses from them listed here: http://na.square-enix.com/us/blog/drakengard-3-news-launch-date-preorders-and-collectors-edition

Apparently a lot of people that ordered before the pre-order bonuses were announced never received them. I am currently talking with Digital River about it and they just keep trying to say I need to talk to Square Enix and not them (I know fully well that Digital River is the reason for the fuck up, not Square Enix) and Square Enix says that you need to talk with Digital River. So far the emailing back and forth has gotten no where, so I will be calling tomorrow to voice my opinion.

Pretty sad that Digital River can not get their heads out of their asses and realize that their ordering system is fucked and that many of their service reps don't know anything about the products they sell. On the bright side, I have seen people post that they were able to get a hold of DR and received their Pre-order bonuses, so I just need to be optimistic  .

Picked up these at the local game store. Most expensive thing I got here was Borderlands 2 for $18 from GameStop.


Gears 2 Limited Edition CIB $7
LA Noire $5
Halo Reach Limited Edition $8
Mass Effect Strategy Guide $5 (not pictured)

They had the Reach limited edition at the counter and when they checked it had everything but the game. I already had the game but they gave me the rest of the set for $8. Figured that was a pretty decent deal for all the stuff the limited edition came with.

I'm considering picking up the Figma Pit Figurine to add to the two other Figma figures I already own (Link and Samus). However, I am hesitant to do so. He's a little pricier than the others were. Anyone here own one, and would it be worth it?

Also, if anyone ever happens to come across one of those TMNT Complete Classic Collection DVDs in the Party Wagon for $100 or so, I'd love to own one! I totally should have pre-ordered that sucker when it was going for $80. Stupid mistake!

[larryinc64]

I know the Pit is shorter than the other two, but judging by pictures he does pose nicely, I only own Link, I'd say get it if you like the character, I have not because I'm not that much into Metroid or Kid Icarus to spend $50+ on a figure.

Yeah, all said and done, he'll be $80 Canadian. When I picked up Link and Samus, they were about $67 each (after shipping and conversion). I don't own that many figures, but I do like the other two. Also, apparently they will be releasing a "Link Between Worlds" version of Link. I'm curious to see what it looks like.

Man, as much as I'm a sucker for uniformity, the spines on the PAL PS2 games kill me. At least the title in logo form would be nice. I swear I'd actually have a hard time picking out a game because I wouldn't be able to identify it visually in any way

Nice pickups though
