I think there is a theme in this pic.




Finally got around to getting this in my collection.




So a few months back I posted how I got a copy of this from Play Asia and it was completely destroyed and unplayable.  PA told me I was SOl.  I went to PayPal and opened a dispute to get all of my money plus what I got charged for shipping back.  PA fought it and only offered $10 in credit (LOL).  I refused and kept pressing.  I presented a ton of pics to Pay Pal and about 4 month later I FINALLY got a refund from PA and went and bought a new copy from Ebay.  I am officially boycotting PA from here on out.  They have the absolute worst costumer service I have ever dealt with.

I highly recommend checking out amazon.co.jp for any import needs.  They have been cheaper then PA and ship to the US in 2 DAYS! It's easy to setup account and navigate the site.

I'm only getting PA exclusives from PA at this point.

The site actually has a English option and if it's not translated, Chrome's built in translator works great.  I can't speak or read any Japanese and I was able to navigate the site, create a account, and order games from it with no issue at all.

I doubt it but does my Prime membership work?  Or just for my US account?

You have to sign up for a new account but you can use the same email you use for you US account.  It's different accounts for each region unfortunately.

Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Pic dump incoming.


Some Amazon gets.


Half Price Books stuff.




This months VGM box



The next set of pics are a bittersweet thing.  So the  building I work in had Z2 Live/ King and a tenant.  Since they had been owned by Activision/ Blizzard they unfortunately and very sadly got the ax in the mass layoffs that Activision did.  So I went to the floor and one of our contacts had a table full of stuff we could take, so I took a bunch of the cool stuff.  Tons of King branded pens, lanyards, water bottles, shirts, bags.  Also got a Street Fighter "Lego: figure to build, a second Big Daddy, a stack of Magic the Gathering cards.  Also got a cool plaque that employees got for working on some game but thought it was cool to add to my collection.

My first order from Limited Run Games, ordered months ago, arrived today in a milka-chocolate-purple envelope.
That took really long, even after the shipping notice. But I am happy with it. :3

All Switch games through LRG are pre-order, so they will all take a long time to fill (even the Sony stuff that isn't pre-order takes a long time to fill).  Not everyone agrees with me, but in my opinion, the long wait time is a small price to pay to get these games in physical form.
