September 2020 Pick-ups (Pictures smictures)

That's a nice TV, but if you expect it to completely replace your 4:3 TV, you might be a little disappointed.  That will be a great TV for the systems that used wide screen, but before the HDMI systems (like PS2, Xbox, GameCube ect).  It might not be ideal for NES, SNES, Genesis ect.  If I had the room to use 3 TVs in my game room, I would still have mine.

That is just it. I am looking to have multiple TVs. A 55 inch TCL Series 6 or 8 is the big goal (need to buy one). Then the Xbr 960, a 4:3 Flat Either the KV-27fs210, or the kv-36fs210, and a curved 4:3 for light gun accuracy (KV-32s26 or KV-36s26)
The leftover televisions will go into the Lan player 2 room with the 2nd Xbox, 360, PS3, PS2, and other systems.

I'll get the pins regardless.  It takes almost no effort outside of buying 3D All Stars, which I was going to buy anyway.  Also, they describe the program as if there may be other rewards sometime between now and next March.  So there may be more to get.

took me 2 hours and 10 minutes to get those pins ordered yesterday.  Their website was jacked up so bad... it was harder then getting a PS5 pre-order.

[TDIRunner]

I tried for most of yesterday and even today, but it keeps saying the pins are no longer available. 

[Tech13]

They are all gone. Robo scalpers got into the site 30 min early.

Just spent about $75 on 3 mini consoles (all the same) and $150 on a mod for it.  Pics incoming when the items received.  I'm just giddy lol

Hehehehehehehehehehe

What does this do, and why 3? I have never played a C64 in my life anyway.

Similar to SEGA, Nintendo, NEC and Sony: Commodore threw the C64 into the mini console arena.  The console is great, but... the keyboard is one solid piece of plastic.  A gentleman over on reddit has designed a fix to convert the single piece of plastic into an actual working keyboard: an angle grinder (following pictures are not mine... yet..)


I kid.  For real though, the modification is to enable a fully working keyboard on the mini console.  Love the idea, had to purchase it.







You are not a true collector if you don't purchase in three.
1) To use
2) For a backup
3) To never open

I knew what the C64 mini was, just not that keyboard. That's pretty cool! Love stuff like that. I want to figure out a way to make a "working" Sega CD and 32X for the Genesis mini. If I had nostalgia for the C64, I'd get a mini.

I only have 2 copies of each Amiibo... well I do have those fake card versions as well.
So I think I'm close enough to a real collector.

They just recently released a version with a fully working keyboard. It's not a "mini", it's full size.

Yup, Maxi vs Mini


Never said... I didn't have the Maxi... lol

[Bear78]

lol, nice!  I have an original C64.  If I didn't I would pick up the maxi.

As some of my nieces and nephews were at our house we started opening those blind minifigure bags and so far getting every one is going well.

I have 30 of those bags, and we opened 8, and results were:
Paragoomba
Spiny
Bob-omb
Urchin x2
Peepa x3

So 22 chances to get the other 5.

Final tally was quite even

Paragoomba x4
Fuzzy x4
Spiny X3
Buzzy Beetle x4
Bullet Bill x2
Bob-Omb x3
Eeb Cheeb x2
Blooper x2
Urchin x2
Peepa x4
