drxandy | 3,225 Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 Happy Friday! I got a big one out the way! Details at 11. Nice pile of stuff from thriftin, always happy to find a couple Xbox games i'm missin in the wild. The nes I already have disassembled and it works, just need to bend some pins woo thinking of painting/maybe repair the chips on the top half. Cables in the back are a heck of a find, audioquest turquoise interconnects, some pricey cables for a buck! Pair of wii guns and the Gameboy games for 2$ ea , 4$ 'customized' 360 controller has it's battery back, 3$ s controller missing the dongle but I replaced it and it works great! PlayStation underground bag, Cod and star wars old Republic from the thrift and the dance games from the game store. Xbox! Found a great eBay seller and got 3 off the list, starting with another of the Mortal Kombat deception kollectors editions, Baraka Super crispy, everything there and a bonus! The subzero card, assuming it came with the PS2 mk deception 'premium pack' was surprised to see it as I didn't look into the other variants (didn't even know it existed since my focus is on Xbox haha) GameCube didn't get a collector/premium edition, but has exclusive fighters with goro and shao kahn. PS2 had the subzero premium pack with 2 physical cases in a double cardboard sleeve, and Xbox had the 4 like above featuring Millena, Baraka, scorpion, and Raiden. 2 to go, been looking for years! King of fighters '02 - '03 - really happy with the condition. This guy took care of his stuffff and I wish I bought more from him! Finishing off with a big one for me! Futurama! When this one jumped up in price I was kinda mad I didn't get it earlier, floated around the 50$ mark for years but here we are in 2022 and now it's a $200 item I guess. I got a little deal at $160 and I can't wait to play it! Mandy and I love Futurama! Now the biggest fish on my list is Teen Titans, fingers crossed I can find a good copy for a decent price. 158 away from the fullset!! Have a great week y'all see ya next Friday 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drxandy | 3,225 Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Friday is here, happy Friday!! Here goes this week. I got 2 lots of demos from an eBay seller, total of 53 discs and other random stuff from the middle 2000s so I'm just gonna jump right in. Lot1 Pile of oxm demos, during the transition from the og Xbox to 360, I had most of these but in cardboard sleeve since I had a subscription back in the day, the plastic slim box was available at retail and I've always liked the look on a shelf so eventually going for em This lot was contained in this logic3 brand box, it has those big PS2 stylized lines just filthy, here's the before cleaning shot: And after, much better. The unit is called the "Game Station 3" (love the name) and holds like 12 dvd sized games and a bunch of memory cards, p cool. Odds and ends, I saved the stickers even though they've had a life because I'm pretty sure they were retailer exclusive. Lost planet art book a little beat. Super Cool++ hand written codes and cards for MLB 2k6, not sure about the street fighter card. The main reason I went for this lot was these 2 discs 360 kiosk disc 2.4 and super hard to find NBA ballers phenom 100k tournament disc. On to lot 2! >>>>> 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Continued>>> The second lot, the more exciting one woo Metroid prime hunters demo, extra stylus, DS manual from the launch model. Nintendo E3 06 presentation dvd, has the 06 E3 press conference on it with special intro by Reggie, dig it since there's pre release footage of Zelda twilight princess. On the left is the back of the E3 06 dvd, in the lot that was all I had to go off of and wasn't really sure what this disc was until a little googling. Up top igpx promo dvd for cartoon network show, psm holiday dvd, lovely bootleg copy of a magazine dvd east coast ryders (this is a delight of 2000s car culture/rap I watched like half of it hahaha) and some balders gate dark alliance 2 dvd guides (I think these were in a bigger box as a preorder). Star wars empire at war (PC rts game) internal review copy oooo, GTA San Andreas trailer dvd (it's so short whyyyyyy), and the game factory Dvd with footage of 2 GBA games (also v short)- Care Bears Care Quest and Garfield:The search for Pooky. I have only tried that disc on a dvd player but I kinda hope there are some media assets if it was popped into a pc. CD comps/soundtrack! Blue 2k sports and smt digital devil saga 2 are sealed, wooo that victory records comp had my eye.. loved those samplers victory would put out and this is no exception. This one is the soundtrack to mvp 06 NCAA baseball, and preorder bonus: https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/victory-ea-play-ball-for-game-soundtrack-1402210/ Here's the backs if you wanna see the tracks. Xbox 360 experience disc 1.5v3 had a surprise 1.5 disc inside the sleeve, heck ya kiosk discs 2 copies lookin new of the spartan total warrior demo, 2 of full spectrum warrior sticker sealed, and a kinda rare bloodrayne 2 demo Xbox kiosk discs 4.3 RP-M, 4.5 no sleeve and sealed registration error 4.6, yasss Sealed ea and driver at top, another ea trio opened, 2 random discs psm demo and the ps1 pitfall looks a little worse for wear. Final fantasy 7 demo with some funky staples in it but in really nice shape other than those and GameShark disc. PS2 demos for Black, Toca 3, and Resident Evil 4. Finishing up with PS2 trade demos for Combat Elite WW2 paratroopers and State of Emergency 2 from southpeak interactive. State of Emergency also came with the following document. See ya next weeeeek!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 Hey happy Friday! Here goes this week Mandy got alpha Sapphire, i found the watchmen combo and atelier Totori. A friend from work gave me these Gameboy' missing screens but both have battery backs and in decent shape, gonna have to try out ips the screen kits for em, yay more projects! Top two from the thrift, bottom two from the local. Come play halo with us! Vgs game night, tomorrow the 27th at 6pm est. Ya don't need a copy of the game or an Xbox, there's cross play with PC and a trial of gamer pass ultimate is a buck I think. Big box ddr ultramix 3! Love the sealed headset cable haha. Finishing off with Xbox, 3 more off the list and a sealed copy of voodoo Vince to go with the Spanish one, I hope I can find a French for cheap haha have a great week y'all!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 Hey! Late Friday for me, but not much this week. Mandy snagged the min min amiibo, I found the ps3 remote at the local for like $3 and this very cool book from 2004 off the eBay. The information inside is a trip now-a-days including afterburner GBA installation which looks completely antiquated compared to the modern solutions of swapping a 101 screen or ips kit. I only skimmed through but a perfect time capsule of the 2000 modding scene. Fable 3 display art wooo, heavenly guardian is a scrolling shooter in the likes of ikari warriors or heavy barrel. Finishing with Xbox but none of the list this week Found an eBay seller from Sweden selling these hockey games, my first Swedish package! Nothing really special but there is branding and language all over em. Less than 8$ together shipped, I have no idea how the seller made any money off of it. Anyways that's it for this week, anxiously awaiting Sunday as we're heading to cedar point to ride some coasters. One of my favorite amusement parks, and it's been like 5yrs since I've been. Can't wait!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherDestroysTheGond | 690 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Great finds, per usual. Heavenly Guardian was going to be a continuation of the Pocky and Rocky series but they lost the licensing during development iirc. A decent cheap game for Wii/PS2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
