April 2021 Pick-Ups - Hopefully nobody got fooled!

Some recent pick-ups.  Been working on grabbing any PSP games I can find locally for less then what they are going for online.  Dropzone shipped from Germany in December of last year and finally arrived lol.

My Chicago pickups from last weekend. Pretty happy with things. NOT pictured, a 29" arcade monitor for my candy cab

Yeah, I'm really trying to find them all, with the added fun of ONLY really looking at Half Price Books. I've been buying up all the LRG PC Collector's Editions as well just so I can get them all

Nice finds.  I definitely regret getting rid of my old PC boxes which included several Lucas Arts boxes.  I kept the game discs from back then, and any manuals, but that's it.

I was able to hit up a Video Game Con over the weekend and got to grab some of the Sega games I've been looking for.  Got a lot of good trades in on this stuff too so it didn't cost me an arm and a leg lol.

I can't tell you how much I miss going to an Expo. I managed to go to one in March of last year before Covid was big in my area...nothing since.

yeah, this was the first I have been to since Covid.  I didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised when 98% of the people at the show were all wearing masks.  I'm 100% vaccinated too so that helped with my decision to give it a go.

I'm finally caught up on Analogue products.  I regret not getting involved with these systems when they first got into the game, but I've been fortunate enough to catch the systems I missed when they were re-released.  I also have a pre-order in for the Pocket, but that's been pushed back to later this year.

This book also arrived today to go with my PlayStation and SNES Anthologies from the same publisher. 




And I thought this was funny.  My son's school had a book fair today and my wife gave him some money to get something and he came home with this book (along with some others that weren't video game related).  It has some interesting info in it, but I'm also willing to bet that half of these "records" have been beaten since it was published.

Confirmation that TDI is a hacker. Perma Ban, plz

Getting called a hacker for buying Analogue products is sort of like getting called a hacker for being good at online video games.    I'll take it as a compliment.

Weren't they sold out in like 5 seconds?

The pocket?  That took like 15 mins to sell out. 
Didn't even have to be that quick on the click.
...that said, I AM worried about the upcoming Duo's availability.

I don't think they will sell out as quickly as the Nintendo related products.  I believe it will fall somewhere between the Nintendo products that sold quickly and the Sega product that took quite a while to sell out.
