July 2014 Pick Ups Thread

[Blumpkin]

I fully intended to flip Lunar so that I could rebuy the PSX version. But after testing out the Sega CD system and firing up Lunar my heart melted. I don't think that I can part with it now. Looks like I'll just have to own two versions... well four including my GBA and PSP versions.

Hell I bought the mega drive (j) version when I saw it cheap just because it's Lunar.

Blumpkin, I do have a spare Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete on PSX. It's only the case and game discs, less the soundtrack and map. Haven't tested them, but I could probably try to make a disc image and validate each CD.

You can have it if you want to cover shipping (assuming all validation is successful).

[edit]
Discs are scratched and in need of resurfacing.

I loved both Lunar games for the ps1. Got but haven't played the psp version.
Also have the GBA version which is kida crappy IMO.

The psp version looked messed up.  I played just a few mins and gave up on it.  I need to try it again later, but it didn't have the same feel.

Pretty slow July for collecting.

I spent the last 2 weeks working on this ... glad it's finally done and I have a place to sit outside now.



Now for gaming related pickups.

I sold quite a few items that I found at yard sales and used the proceeds to grab some decent stuff.

SNES and N64

Space MegaForce
Super Turrican 2
Super Valis IV
Run Saber
Snowboard Kids



GC and Xbox

ChibiRobo
Super Mario Sunshine
Burnout 3
Phantom Dust

$18 total - will be free after I flip Sunshine



Also found some longbox PS1 games as well as Batman and Robin and Dynamite Heady for the Genesis.  This was $30 total.

Also grabbed Bloodlines for $45 locally - complete and mint



Finally, I decided to get back into skateboarding and picked up a new set up



Now that the deck is done I can finally go back to garage sales this weekend so hopefully my August starts off with some good finds.

Well I haven't posted here in a while but figured I'd share this one from last Thursday. Wasn't going to make my usual weekly thrift store rounds but decided I better. Good thing I did, got these for the prices marked. Theres one gem in there a tad bit better then the other two I'd say.

Dude WTF .... Megaman X2! 

My luck has become very sparse now that every pawn shop and their neighbor has the internet at their fingertips

WOW!!! What a deal!!!

[Blumpkin]

I'm jealous of that Mega Man X2 find, Savers and Goodwill stores near me never have dick for games.



But from a local pawn shop comes these, all for $20. Raystorm is lacking the front insert though, so if anybody has one to scan...

And poking into the picture is the Halo 4 UNSC controller that I picked up from Gamestop's website for $35 a few weeks ago.

Can it really be considered a pick-up if I made them myself?








Currently working on a lot more! Mega Man, Scrooge McDuck, etc....

On another note, I did finally grab a GameCube with 2 controllers (Black / Silver), all the cables, Game Boy Player (w/ Start Up Disc), plus Super Mario Sunshine for $45 at a local shop that usually has nothing but crap.
