People should not be allowed to start these threads without an actual pickup to show.

I'll add pictures today as soon as I get the stuff in hand.

Yeah, but you live 8 hours in the future compared to us Americans.  :P
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

True but that still gives 10 hours for you, and what 30 for Ozzies and Kiwies.
And I would have had the games in my hand but dad forgot to pick them up, and I could not bother to drive town just for them.

Let's start this for real.  ;)

This arrived today, AND today I also found out the the real Bloodstained game will be out this June, just 4 years after backing it.  :D

Very nice... I wasn't able to get a copy.  :'( That one flew pretty fast during both ordering windows, and I wasn't even trying to go for the CE. I had to settle for a PS4 Preorder.

Gather around for a tale. My car repairs ate the rest of my tax return. So I was bummed out. I had lost hope of owning a switch or a PS4. Today my wife asked me to take her to the store, and without warning she purchased a switch for me. I love my wife.

After watching numerous online reviews of the new Retro-bit Saturn controllers, I decided to buy one.  It is excellent, though not as perfect as some reviewers make it out to be. Pulling off precision moves in Capcom fighting games is slightly more difficult with this controller than with an original model 2 controller. You adjust to it quickly enough, but I would rate the D-pad as an A-, compared to the A+ of the original.  Button quality is nearly indistinguishable from the original, minus the click of the shoulder buttons. It is nice having a 10 foot cord though.

Fighting Vipers 2 is a very high quality replica, and a game I've always wanted to play.  Unfortunately it was never released in the U.S., so this repro is my first time with it.

Before criticizing someone, walk a mile in their shoes. Then when you do criticize them, you will be a mile away and have their shoes.

Local online store might get him for 13 Euros (including postage to me).

They say they can order him with 10 day delivery but their results vary.
They have delivered on some hard to get items but failed on some easier ones.

You want me try ordering one?
If they fail it doesn't cost anything.
