December 2018 Pickups - PANIC getting presents ready!!!

[TDIRunner]

Yeah, if Sony did anything right, it would be the actual appearance of the console, controllers and box.  It should make for great shelf candy.

I would snag one just for the aesthetic of the thing, but I just can't justify paying that much for something I wouldn't use. There just aren't enough games I'm interested in on it and combined with the sub par emulation quality I've been hearing about, I just would never touch the thing. It's a real shame cause if the emulation was better I would grab it in a heartbeat.

I pre-ordered the physical Capcom Beat Em Up Bundle from Amazon Japan. Pretty sure it can be in English but it's called Capcom Belt Action Collection in Japan. Release date Dec 6.

I pre-ordered it from play-asia

So, is yours coming DHL? Is DHL always this fucking shitty? I was excited at first because it said at the top I'd receive it yesterday, and now it says "well.. uh.. I don't know..." Why in the actual fuck would it go from Japan to Cincinnati, OH, USA, then instead of Florida, USA, it goes to fucking Germany, then Spain! What the hell? WHY?? It was ALREADY IN THE DAMN US! FUCK DHL!

Sorting fuck up at Cincinnati.

I got this month a 27" Panasonic Crt TV as part of a payment from a friend. Also on the picture an Ikea table for the Crt TV.



I also got a 50" 4K tv. I had to remove all consoles until I mount the TV on the wall.

I haven't really posted in a while.  Life happens. 
But I did grad some new stuff in the past few days.

First off, some new Switch goodness.  And the 8Bitdo Gbros blutooth gamecube adapter.  This thing is awesome. Works great, no noticeable lag, and I can sit on the couch with my gamecube controller. 



Also had some local gamestore pickups. Got these three for $54 w/ tax.  Pretty good overall, and one step closer to completing all the PS1 rpgs.



Lastly, a local collector was clearing out some of his stock.  He had a huge garage sale type sale for everything.  Seems like a nice guy.   He said I could have this lot for $200.  I wanted to make sure, and pointed out that Magic Knight Rayearth could probably fetch close to that by itself, but the guy said he just wanted it gone.  Needs the space, needs the money.





And on my way out, I saw these under a table.


Brand new, sealed, Steam Link and Steam controller.  Guy asked $20 for the set since I guess Steam discontinued these.  All in all, a nice December for me so far.

Call DHL. They are by far and away the BEST parcel carrier out there. They’ll get you sorted out quickly.

Thanks, I called DHL. I was thinking DHL was pretty awesome at first, Japan to Ohio in one day? Too bad I don't live in Ohio anymore. Then I was pretty mad when I saw Germany and Spain on there! I called DHL and they said there was two duplicate tracking numbers, which happens when the numbers get removed used sometimes. Anyway, mine's in Miami now and should be near me in the Orlando area tomorrow (Monday).

[Bear78]

Some good finds from a local toy show yesterday.  Castlevania NES is just the box (which is all I needed).

[marioxb]

Finally got my DHL package today from Amazon Japan.

Could only afford the normal edition, but that's OK, I only wanted the cartridge anyway. Don't care much for "toys/ collectables" much these days, with a few minor exceptions.

Once I get a new scanner, I'll upload the inner and outer covers and also create an English Capcom Beat Em Up Bundle version.

You guys letting that silly little holiday(s) stop you from buying stuff for yourself? Lol. I stopped celebrating the gift-exchanging part of Christmas myself. And actually I don't really play or buy many games anymore for myself either, but I know you guys do! These days I'm mostly into buying Blu Ray movies, as soon as I get a job again, that is!

[Hesch]

Been a while, but I'm crazy happy with this Half Price Books haul. Even had a 25% off purchase coupon. I've been dying to find Metal Storm for a while now.



Hopefully I'll have an even bigger find to share in a few days...

[wiggy]

My Belt Action LE set arrived!  I am excite!

Also, a copy of SMW/SMA. One of only a few SNES games that was still on my (quite short) list. All just so I can play as big head luigi in SMW lol!

[TDIRunner]

Funny, that is also on my extremely short list of SNES games that I don't have, but still want.

Go back to your dimly lit ultra expensive game lounge Scrooge!!!!
Nothing beats seeing the joy on my nephews' and neeces' faces when they recieve their gifts.
On january I'm of course back on buying stuff for myself.
