drxandy | 3,213 Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) This week starts with another Japan post package of GameCube stuff that finally made it. I bought wind waker just for the beautiful not for sale lenticular card that I would love to have more info on (my guess is pre-order bonus, but no idea could be a retailer exclusive thing) haven't seen many out there and they usually fetch a pretty penny. If anyone has any info please chime in!! Next up more Xbox, first off I cleaned the s controller that came with last week's Xbox bundle and replaced the thumbsticks because they were shredding rubber. Snagged a pal copy of men of valor for $2 though I just bought it, my first pal game haha. Pump it up is sealed, woo. Snuck a licensened tengen nes Pac-Man in there, decent deal at the local. Hope to keep the Xbox ball rolling next week. Edited January 23, 2021 by drxandy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,213 Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) Hey everybody! Snagged a n64 set for like $20 at the thrift, with the mystery of what's inside the expansion bay. Ds bag for a buck, games were 3.50 each whooo Drumroll plz Empty! I have a spare jumper pak so no problem here. Cleaned up and tested, running great. One of the sticks is a little loose, but the other one is in great shape. Added 12 Xbox titles this week, wooo! Some from eBay some local. Malice was one of those games I was following when it was coming out, platformer with some interesting elements to it. Pop star Gwen Stefani was slated to do the voice of the lead character but apparently that fell through. It looked cool when it was coming out, so it's nice to finally buy a copy. That's it for this week, happy hunting!! Edited January 23, 2021 by drxandy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowser | 598 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Any idea why WWF No Mercy is jumping up in price? Seems to be as common as any other N64 sports game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it started jumping a couple years ago and hasn't stopped, maybe print run? Maybe it's a fan favorite, no idea but I was also surprised at Wrestlemania 2000. I had a spare beat up boxed copy listed on eBay like a year ago and sold for like $6 shipped. I was bummed that I was pretty much taking a loss on it but didn't need it anymore.. now I saw cart only is like $20 or something. CraY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,213 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) This week herewego! First off, one of @Crazy Climber 's gorgeous vgs signs in the mail early in the week. Check out the buy sell trade forums!! Paper Mario showed up in the mail, pins sourced locally because GameStop did a goof. Inside has really cute art: Knocked out more Xbox, still chugging along Stoked on the printing error sealed kiosk demo version 4.2, my second pal game (exclusive lol) not really going for pal or jpn games unless I can find em dirt cheap. Maybe in the future. Had been holding off on a sealed memory unit, but found a seller that bundled this controller extension for a really good deal so boom. 10$ best buy deal on fire emblem warriors. That's all for this week, happy hunting yalllll. Edited January 23, 2021 by drxandy 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,213 Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Last day/week of July! real quick I'm gonna sidetrack before starting my post for this week. Not long before corona popped off my lady and I planned and booked a very special vacation to Disney World in Florida set for early September. Very special, as in I am popping the question. So far as luck would have it all is going according to plan: we've locked in reservations for dining and staying on the wdw property.. so far nothing has been canceled or changed and I am super nervous. Not only for my silly plans to get canceled but the whole proposal. Hope she doesn't read this but she probably knows haha. I probably will be slowing down on the gets, but have a bunch still on the way. With that out of the way, this week's haul. Jpn ps1 shmups! Fastest shipping via FedEx from Japan, seriously 3 days to Michigan get out of here. Xbox kiosk demo discs version 4.4 and 4.5 - I have always wanted to start collecting these, what better time than now. Speaking of xboxxx Rf adapter is pointless but hey I'm going for a thing here, wait til next week. Scarface I had been holding off on but snagged it for 20, surprisingly really cool game pretty much playing a sequel movie with widescreen hd support woo woo Gladius was another I held out on but finally snagged a super clean copy for cheap. Nice Tao Feng guide, Sealed Rockband 2, finally picked up a cheap copy of a guitar hero game for wii.. used to come across the guitars allllll the time at the thrift and would flip them to the local store for credit. I saved 3 nice Wiitars and finally might use them. Oh yeah, sealed 360 family hits rockstar table tennis. See ya next week!

drxandy | 3,213 Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone! This week is a little half and half. Half is new gets, the other half is delicious paper oddities. Away we go, starting with new. Start off with this nice hori 360 arcade stick for $2.09, mechanically works great - in the process of being restored - see more over here: Next up more Xbox - addin to the accessories Picked up these 3 books for 33c a pop, and happy to add another piece of Vans Nintendo merch with the spellout Mario snapback. $25 plus tax for the PS2 lot, these are some of the most crispy sticks I've seen in a while, one is practically new the other in just about as good shape. Slim works perfect and in good shape. The fat has the issue with not reading blue discs and a little case scuffing but I am more than happy to have another project at this price. Onto the papers. Paper Mario mailer (addressed to meeeee), Walmart fzero gx poster, starfox adventures air freshener, ngage marketing pamphlet, n64 GameCube and ereader brochures. Nintendo power subscribe mailer All the GameCube accessories I opened, wooo Bug Saturn demo, snes manuals, og Pokemon sticker sheet minus Charmeleon, killer instinct soundtrack I cut up as a child and made a spine label so it would look good on the shelf with my other CDs hehe. Xbox marketing materials, mt dew box because I'm a terrible person, letter about power cord replacement. Ffxi HDD materials, jet grind and doa2 Dreamcast temp tattoos, cookie crisp sonic lenticular sticker(? It's from childhood), Xbox live promo mailer, paperwork from the replacement power cord, half the box from the component pack. These next papers are really cool, I was in the Xbox retailer program and they sent out these highlighting new and exciting Xbox stuff. Front: Back: Aight, sorry for the endless post! Hope everyone has a safe and happy upcoming weeeeeek. Edited January 23, 2021 by drxandy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,213 Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 I would normally save this for next week but it came in the mail and im friggin stoked to finally add it to my collection!! One of few shmups on the cube, and a Japan exclusive; radirgy's cel shaded graphics are more on the cute-em-up side and I love that. Cool looking story (I wish I knew Japanese, gonna have to do that one day) Now 26 retail games away from the full jpn exclusive set, not gonna be moving very quick on that until Japan post offers the cheap shipping to the us.. however if anyone out there can find or direct me to a boxed copy of ohenro-san hosshin no dojo with the pedometer and 3 button walking controller I would greatly appreciate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice pick-up! In case you don´t know this, Radirgy got released in the US as part of the "Ultimate Shooting Collection" for the Wii. Other games bundled are Karous (which was also japan exclusive release) and Chaos Field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now only have Eternal Darkness and Waverace for it, but haven´t played them yet, have been playing mostly PS games. Next year, when my finances allow, I´ll hunt down Fire Emblem and the Metroid games for it, would love to check them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Count | 521 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I like your Xbox collection. Everything is so clean. If I'm lucky enough to find them around here they are covered in GameStop or rental stickers and I have yet to learn to clean them up like yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,213 Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 @The Count thanks dood!! It definitely is a lot of work cleaning em, but I have my ritual down. Goo gone works wonders, then I clean and disinfect with 70% isopropyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drxandy | 3,213 Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Hey here goes this week, first off a couple wii cheapies. Xbox: sealed copy of driver 3 at the local, and scaler added to the set. Gb: tetris baby, I swear the top two are new because they look like they've never been used can't resist at 0.99c a copy. Open box Xbl kit, I can't believe the headset hasn't shredded There's a slice in the back, prob what saved the foam. Well I slipped out the CD sleeve and sure enough unused. Also snagged another version of the Xbl kit minus the hardware, demos of outrun 2 and mechassault 2. The cd to the left of them is pretty interesting I never knew about it before but found on eBay. I know you wanna see what kinda music is on here, oh yeah disc two is a cd-rom and the cover is also a poster. The Jamz. Honestly was surprised that there's some good/ok stuff on there. Ok now to finish off I originally started posting on message boards around the time I found one of these controllers at gamestop and wanted to know why it was different.. learning it was intended to be like a kiosk controller/ prototype. Later learning that microsoft and gamestop made a deal and they dumped all these controllers at gamestops. Anyways because of this controller I decided to join in on an Xbox community and it really made a positive impact, so I am glad to have not one but two in my collection now! One of them unfortunately did not come with the original breakaway cable (and they only work with that specific cable) but it works and is definitely gonna be displayed. Really happy to add them, but hope to get one with the sticker over the jewel because I kept mine that way. Anyways sorry for rambling, happy week to everyone!!

OptOut | 8,869 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Man, amazing stuff dude, I especially love your XBOX collection! There may not be many of us out there giving XBOX its fair shake, but to those of us who are you are a true inspiration! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,213 Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 You are too kind @OptOutaww shucks This week is slim pickins, next week I leave on Wednesday for Disney and I am getting more anxious by the day. Here goes: Couple of Nintendo world NY hats, I have never been but I thought these were super cool for the price.. now I kinda have to go one day. Small random lot of cheap goodwill stuff, sixaxis and charging cable, black nunchuck, broken socom ps2 headset. The sixaxis is in really nice shape but unfortunately battery doesn't keep a charge, ope Finally 2$ on the wolf among us at the thrift, and a sealed jpn copy of kung fu chaos I thought was interesting, not really trying to get anything other than jpn exclusives but I have a spot for playing this game back in the day.. slight name change, fun multiplayer fighting game full of weird movie tropes and I love kung fu movies so I'm bout it. Next week I will post a few trip shots instead of the normal game stuff, started packing and we pretty much have everything ready to go, have plenty of masks on hand and won't be leaving the Disney property the whole time which is a first for me. I love theme parks and had family in florida growing up so we would visit every 3 years.. anyways I am ready to propose and get this anxiety gone! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
