Don't normally post over here, but I've been after this one for quite some time and finally acquired it.
<-- If anything I have is checked as "Case/Box", I will scan it if you ask nicely... I'm pretty slow about getting things done though.  Laziness.

Some new pick ups.

Had to rebuy one of the greatest last gen games.


Got this real cheap on eBay.


Got the Xbox games from a B/S/T thread over on Resetera (bottem 3 are sealed), Vita was a preorder from Amazon


Got both for $13 at Half Price Books with a coupon.

I've been eyeing these orange cases for a while and finally pulled the trigger.  I have solid blue ones from the same website (which I use for my Sega CD games) and they look amazing.  A few years back, they also had a solid orange style which I always meant to get back to.  Well, they got rid of the solid orange and only kept the transparent version.  The only difference (besides the transparency) is that it isn't quite as dark a shade as the solid color variant was. 



I bought these for my Dreamcast games, which I have slowly been converting to DVD cases.  I like the jewel cases, but for me I prefer DC in DVD.  They pop a little more. 
I am pretty happy with the result, although the shades aren't quite perfect.  That said, I have no complaints,





And these things REALLY look good with my whopping TWO Sega CD 32X games.  Too bad they didn't make more of these games, as this is a near perfect match (even though the picture shows it a little off , it's due to the see through/shiny nature of the case)

Been making a lot of nes repros lately.  Still a bunch that need labels, but these are what I have assembled so far. Altered Beast, Eon Man, Just Breed, Gradius 2, Zelda Outlands,& Zelda 2: Journey if a Day. Also a couple of China repros/bootlegs (SML2 DXand Metroid II DX), and a snes PAR. I’ve wanted one of these forever. A buddy snagged it for me at a little Asian market in NYC :D

I didn't take pictures, but my HDRetrovision component cables came in today.  I now have PS1 and Jaguar running through component. 
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

How did you attach HD retrovision cables to a Jaguar?

Custom made adapter to go from the Jaguar to the Genesis component cables.  I bought it from a member at Atari Age.  I posted about it whenever I first picked it up.  Basically, it acts the same as the adapters that HDRetro sells for the Saturn, PS1 and Neo Geo AES.  So far it works and looks great.  Unfortunately, the seller just recently moved his stuff over to eBay and raised his prices a little.  I think I might have been the last guy to buy at his earlier, lower prices.  It's still worth it in my opinion. I played more Jaguar games last night than I had in the past year combined.  +



Now I can use my HDRetrovision Genesis component cable on my Jaguar.  Because why not?

Oooh that's right.  I remember that thing now.
Thanks.  I may look in to that at some point in the future.

One of the nice things about the new shelves I bought is that it opened up some room on my regular bookshelves to display some of my portables.  I've been wanting to order from Rose Colored Gaming for a while now, but I didn't have the room to display anything.  Very happy with these.  The quality is fantastic.

I’ll get pics in a bit, but I got my Ni No Kuni 2 Limited Edition in. The little diorama that it comes with is really nice, but the cardboard they used is super flimsy and it’s crazy hard to put together. I think I’m going to have to attempt to glue it as I go or something.

Nice repros, those Zelda ones look really slick! And some old Timewalk labels I see, at least my work from back then is still getting some good use! ;D

Not sure.  I didn't look at it that closely, but I remember the outer case being something Nintendo related.
