drxandy | 3,225 Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Hello, welcome to this week's gets! Mandy got the Metroid fever and got both copies in. Metroid pins, clear balltop, 360 and Wii stuff Super stoked to get the limited edition of deathsmiles! $25 for it, I ain maddddd at all Saw an original model xbone sitting lonely by itself with no cords at the thrift, only $20 figured it would be most likely broken but worth a gamble so I snagged a power cord from an eBay seller based in Washington with a huge stock of em.. some being dev gear/prototype. I didn't get lucky on straight up proto stickering but the block has a couple interesting stickers that make it look like it was part of inventory for a company.. kinda neat. Cleaned up pretty nice, also black ops 2 was in the drive.. score considering it goes for like 15-20 disc only. Fully works, I kinda wanted it to be broken to take apart haha. Since I had an extra controller already it brought the total to less than $40 for it. Heck ya. Wii stand, thps3 cube and Mandy double dipped on ffxii zodiac age. Last for the week, got a decent deal on an original Xbox hori fight stick! The seller claimed it was fully modded out with Sanwa buttons.. but that was a lie. Can't complain, I wanted it stock anyway! Had a replacement balltop (the clear one from earlier) so I swapped it with a green one as close to stock as I had on hand. This hori stick was a Japan exclusive, so I was really happy to find a US seller with it for sale. Cleaned and tested, works perfectly! See ya next week, thanks for peekin'!!

It's deck building Monopoly. You buy land but instead of putting hotels, you place monsters and such. If you land on an enemy square, pay the toll or usurp it. I bought the LE on release. Thankfully the worst thing about the game is the cover art. That guys abs always weirded me out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drxandy | 3,225 Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 Hello, and welcome to this week's gets! Nes and snes, really super stoked to get a cart with local grocery chain rental sticker and turtles at that. I rented so many VHS movies and games growing up from felpausch, even though this cart is likely from another location the sticker is the same nostalgia. I know growing up I bought some of their former stock but removed the stickers, so I'm glad to have it! Zelda game and watch snagged at target, amiibos and games from the thrift A coworker offered me their old Ps1, gladly accepted hoping it might be cosmetically in need of a refresh Turns out it's a scph-1001! Heck yah, also in quite nice shape and factory refurbished, the disc drive is pretty frickin quiet but having issues reading game discs. CDs no problem, so probably needs a pot adjusted. Also, cool UMD case from the thrift To finish the week, Xbox! Got avatar so only one A title to go!! (Arena football, lol) upgrade on nightmare before Christmas, and snagged the receiver for the wireless Logitech controllers from the local. Anywho have a great week see ya on the flip! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed I didn't double dip on what my secret Santa got in the Xbox stuff. Ps1, glad to get the final fantasy games. Found this bootleg snes pad at the thrift for 2 bucks so figured I'd play around with it. Splinter cell Xbox demo from eBay. Samurai shodown v and the Ken Griffey from the local. I loved playing winning run back in the day with a friend. It was so arcadey and really fun. I was pleased to learn a while back that Rare ltd. was behind it (woo woo) and the backstory was pretty interesting. That's all for this week, hope everyone has had and is having a happy holiday season!! We've never really had a tree, but this year I've tried to get into the spirit a little more than usual and have been having fun with it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaMan52 | 2,445 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 @drxandy Nice copy of Jet Force Gemini. I have that exact same N64/SNES game organizer: I've had it since 2000 or so. A little unfortunate that it can only hold twelve games, which is not nearly enough to store my SNES and N64 collections nowadays but I suppose was just enough in the year 2000. I still like it, though. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
