Fire emblem engage came out today, Mandy ordered the divine edition and we got it in the mail yesterday, heck yaaa Goooooorgeous arttttt The art book cover is so frickin pretty, wooooo also love the sprite details on the tray. Onto the thrift gets: Smash brawl and we sing 80s mic bundle (with 1 of 2 mics) for $2.50 each, apparently that mic bundle is pretty hard to find.. the mini dvd-rws for a quarter each and the PS2 controller missing the rubber for $2 (either gonna replace the sticks or just snag the shell from it) $5 maybe working 360? Broken faceplate but I have a silver replacement. Pretty sure I have cables stashed away, might need a hdd but another project on the pile.

drxandy | 3,225 Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 Happy Friday! Not a whole bunch (lololol) this week but here it is! Mario kart banana plush, wah wahh waaahhh Wii pro controller, also nice for the HDMI classic systems So I thought I had a power brick for that $5 360 from last week but checked everywhere and couldn't find it. The manufacture date for it is November 5th 2009, so the motherboard is a Jasper v2 which is the most stable original model so I hear. I ordered a brick off eBay to test, fingers crossed but it could really go either way. I did however find the replacement faceplate in my stash and I reshelled a controller with that silver AliExpress probably new old OEM stock, the fit was perfect so I'm thinking yass. Silver and black babyyyyy Thinking about swapping the memory card doors to black from the original faceplate but cleaned up and ready to find out if it's gonna work lol. See ya next weeeeeek 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drxandy | 3,225 Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 @CasualCartthanks dood!! I had been wanting to display them for a while. The iron giant ruleeeeesss, I found that sweet toy thriftin and was super stoked.. he lights up, moves, and makes noises (which was fun to watch our cats react to) but for now protects the sticks ! Here goes this week's gets: Mimikyu plush, 360 power block came in the mail. Immediately tested the $5 Xbox 360 and it works! No red ring or anythin' wrong with the disc drive, yay. Kinda hoped it had an older dashboard but it was updated. I went and bought the matching 120gb hdd from the local store, pulled out the wifi adapter I had and set up my account on it. Swapped the memory card doors on the face toooo, pretty happy with the results. red vs blue seasons 6,7,8,9 from the thrift for cheap Finished up another project on the pile, an NES that was missing the door and had bent pins. After fixing the pins, I painted the top shell. I wanted to do more like fabricate a new door, but it had been sitting for months now so I re assembled and maybe I'll come back to it. Had a controller with a chewed up cable that I paired with it, took off 11.5in from stock length since the rest was in good shape and swapped the buttons out as well as new start/select. I found this locker shelf at Meijer and was thinking of using the wire for the door but it kinda works as a perfect little stand for it: Anywhooo thanks for peeking, have a wonderful weeeek! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) Happy Friday! This week I looked toward adding more Forza horizon titles, put in a lot of time on #5 and have loved it so I started #4 on game pass and the fun continues. Gonna work my way backwards through the series. Want the physical copies, but pretty late to the game so I peeked around on eBay and found the premium edition for quite $$ and only one unsealed copy of it listed.. but with the wrong disc, which I'm pretty sure is the same as any regular copy since all the magic is the dlc card. Nothing led me to believe otherwise after searchin, so I worked with the seller and got a discount and found a replacement disc woo woo: They went hard on the variants for this release, compared to 5.. there was also a steelbook edition with digital game (no add ons) and of course regular edition besides the multiple flavors of digital bundlings. Shot of the outside of the steelbook up top, snagged a console bundle copy of #3 sealed woo. Loose copy of 3 that came in the steelbook gon be my playin copy since it's off the gamepass.. but there was also a steelbook version of 3 so that's on the list too haha. Mandy ordered the fire emblem pins on MyNintendo, pretty neatttt She also snagged crisis core for the p5 and an in-store pack of AC cards. Found the 360 e model power block thriftin for $3. That's it for this week! Edited February 10, 2023 by drxandy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drxandy | 3,225 Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Happy Friday! Thrift finds have been pretty good this week. The battlepoke tomy toys are super cute, couple more 360 controllers to fix up (both came with GameStop brand play and charge kits too), chonky acoustic research HDMI shorty cable to go with this slightly outdated HDMI splitter. Testing out with the SNES classic. Took the controller I got couple weeks ago apart and cleaned, the replacement PS2 sticks I have on hand are for the older model - skinny post style, this controller has the bigger posts so I didn't have the correct replacement - used original Xbox instead. Feels ok, but I wanna order the proper replacement. Mandy snagged the new Xbox controller, totally her vibe. Pretty cool it comes with a dynamic background for your Xbox exclusive to it (galaxy looking) didn't know that was a thing. Finishing up: got a lot of Xbox magazine demos from France on the cheap! Since they're loose I don't have much info to go on of what disc is what but I'm pretty sure they're from all different issues. Have to dig deeper, but pretty cooooool. Das all for now, have a great week! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Hellllllooooo Friday, here the gets. Blue Mr. Chef cooking up the cute, couldn't leave him behind at the thrift. Same with these Zelda puzzles, heck yaa Mandy snagged Hogwarts, dead space, and Metroid remake and has been loving em. Unpriced wiimote got the hookup at the thrift for a big ole .64c woo Been cleaning up and customizing 360 controllers, here's the latest 3: The closer one in the shot with the black front shell I parted up to match the white one in the back to copy the vibe of the new lemon lime from pebsi. Pink controller from last week got paired with a board that someone had already done an led swap on and has blue p1 which I dig to go with the vibe of my arcade stick. The left uses the board that used to be in the pink and it reminds me of like a pair of shoes. Have a great week, see ya next fridaaay 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 Hey it's Friday again, here goes octopath traveler 2 collectors edition Mandy ordered from squeenix a lil while back, they do a very nice job of packaging to insure no damage. Game is packed separate from the collectors edition stuff which is kinda bummer but eh it's on playstation now too so I get it I guess. Top layer is the soundtrack CD, middle the pewter figures and on bottom the art book. Next up, some thrift finds Light up Zelda sign, gonna look neat on the wall and battery or USB operated woo someone's getting out of Zelda lately I guess haha idk PS2 buzz buzzers, I love weird peripherals Some nos monster cables, the white one (mini USB) is so short! gonna be cool for PS3 charging. Dr. Robotnik fast food toy woo, Rocksmith for $2.50 and a red xbone controller missing the battery back and some cute writing on it "Aiden plays" and "Max is elite". Cleaned up pretty nice, writing is gone now. Finishin up, had to have the mini steelbook for horizon 4 and found a cheapie sealed on the eBay. Local store had Forza 3 for cheap but in the wrong case so searched for a case to swap in the .99c games (2 disc case to boot) and found an ok one for transplant with battlefield 4. Have a great week yalllll! Happy March. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 It's March 10, so hey happy Mario day!! Lot of 360 stuff scattered across the thrifts this week, I passed up another console in mediocre shape, hddvd player in the box and a stack of cool hddvds (they were priced a little high) but definitely happy with what I did find, and as much as I needed another controller this one is in super nice shape. That's it for this week, finishin up with this silly bootleg VHS of Jackie Brown that I couldn't leave behind The copy on the back is just terrible, I love it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
