December 2018 Pickups - PANIC getting presents ready!!!

[TDIRunner]

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!

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.

I never quite understood it myself until my oldest son was to the point where he could really understand what was going on during Christmas and get excited (which was last year).  This year, my youngest son will also be old enough to truly be excited, so it's going to be a lot of fun watching the two of them open stuff. 

Hell, just watching them get excited about the Elf on a Shelf is fun.  The  other night, I setup the elf to be zip lining from the TV to the Christmas tree.  The next morning, when my kids found him, they were so excited, I thought they were going to lose their minds.

And I just paid for this, should pick it up Saturday!



Complete in box, with 2 KOF games and a samurai showdown

[TDIRunner]

Very nice.  I assume it comes with the controller as well.  I'm still looking for a working Neo Geo CD controller for a reasonable price.  Those are hard to come by around here.

Guy told me it was complete in box, so I'd assume so. Hope so at least

Still buying stuff and spending money I don't need to be.  Sorry for the pic dump.

New VGM showed up.  Still fun to get.  Sent me a double which is rare but they made up for it and sent me MK2 a few days later.  Super Battletank is sealed!  I know sealed GG are common but still a fun surprise.



Squenix Black Friday sale.




Some LRG games.



I think I am the only person to buy Reroll over SSBU. (both released on 12/7)



Play exclusive.


Half price Books.


LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THIS.  It had a T-shirt inside of the game art.  Regular SNES cart fo comparison.



New work coffee mug.


And thanks to USPS and Play-Asia with their horrid customer service who literally just said "Sorry, nothing we can do"  Like not even allowing a return for the same thing!  Best part is the game cart itself is broken.  I am now dealing with PayPal to get a full refund so I can buy it somewhere else.  Last purchase from PA ever for me.

Wow! That's crazy! I can't believe no one is willing to help you replace that! Do you have pics of the broken cartridge, I've never seen a broken Switch cartridge.

I will try to upload it this weekend.  Very busy between the holidays coming,family, and work.

That sucks about that Psikyo collection.... Try Amazon Japan.  They ship to the US, use DHL, and it gets to the US WAY faster then PA's shipping.

Speaking of imports.... here's some stuff from various countries I got in the last couple of days.

I will look into that.  Thanks.  Also do you have a link to Ketsui and art book?

Yep, here you go:

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B07G8PXQ9K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The art book was a pre-order bonus I think BUT I didn't pre-order and still got it.  Just bought it directly from Amazon.  You will have to setup a different account for Amazon Japan (you can use your same email as your US account though).

Play Asia is notorious for trying to not take responsibility for damaged/lost packages.  Thank goodness for PayPal.

Got some early birthday presents to myself...
I was at a local game store and found a really great condition Shadow Gate 64, CIB, for $25.  I also found the two Pokemon GC games for $25 each.  Both are CIB but have some scratches, however they play fine.  Bushido blade 2 was a goodwill pickup for $3.99

Finally, I just meandered into a Best Buy in Southern California (kind of in the middle of nowhere) and they have not only a Super Smash Ultimate set, but also a Super Mario Party set. I don't think I've ever seen either of these in a store before, and since my Gamer's Club Unlocked is still valid, I got these for 20% off so I jumped.

Wow I would go OFF big time. Do they know that you are going to have PayPal take the money back?
"Hey if you are not going to make it right with me I will just go to PayPal and they will make it right."

Seriously when will companies realize that if you don't take care of your customer, someone else will.

Merry Christmas!

Things are a bit tight here but I got this from my Stepson.

glad to have it.

Good news!  PayPal is refunding me full amount plus what I payed for shipping.  Shitty part is I haver to mail this back to HK on my dime, but that fine I will take the refund and just buy this game on Ebay.
