I also really like the relationship between Nintendo and Microsoft, glad they can loan out banjo. I think world soccer 02 also came out on ps2, pretty sure it was multiplatform but I can't resist a cheapie.. think it was 7$ shipped from someone in texas. Can't wait to finish the us Xbox set to focus more on the imports, but I love finding em here and there.. so easy to get distracted. I know it's a sports game, but still...good deal! Imports are awesome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,213 Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 This week's gets! Picked up snap from target and got the picture frame, pretty decent magnet frame.. much better than what I was expecting. More 360 cheapies, found the av cables at the local, had to remove a lot of stickers but looks dang good now for $3. Sealed bully from the goodwill for $5, slight tear on front can't complain. A very nice copy of kickle cubicle showed up at the local game store! Also picked up a cheap dig dug 2. Bag horder, hello that's me. Snap photo stand from the mynintender, attack of the movies 3d minus the glasses but with lenticular cover slide in, looks fun.. love me some light gun-y style shooters. The fixed up green s controller was cobbled together from the lots of weeks past, tried out 360 slim style sticks on it. Very not good usb nes knockoff, mush buttons.. gonna probably paint it for fun idk.. Xbox! On! Couple ticks off the list, pretty neat I recommend Xbox flashing necklace. It's the first time I've ever bought anything from Albania, snapped up the pal exclusive cel shaded sensible soccer, thought that was pretty cool. Yay global e-commerce. Finally couple thrift guides Have a great week y'all!! Oh yeah speaking of thrift, gonna end with one of the more interesting things I've seen for sale lately (other than a car door for a Kia? that sat for a month before it made social media attention and some teenager bought it for the lulz.) They paid the iron price for this work of fine art, only the finest of cocktail swords, duct tape and silver paint. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drxandy | 3,213 Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Happy last couple days of may! On with the pictures. First off, some Wii stuff from the thrift Big box sports resort had 2 motion plus' inside but is the single variant. White box next to it may be a kiosk box for Wii sports, inside it had the Netflix disc so I let it stay there and added that slipcase sports to the box. Also thought the wii fit promo dvd was pretty neat. 3 regular wiimotes, 2 nunchucks. Thinking about doing a custom wiimote, never cracked one open before and this is perfect. Games games games Been waiting for the good price on we love katamari, found it for 15 at the local and I'm glad to add it. Harvest moon was more of an impulse. N64! I'd held off on fillling this empty box I had with a nice cart.. for like 5 years.Had the jpn rumble pak version when I felt like playing but I wanted to be a cheapskate and not pay 20$ for the us copy.. here we are. I paid $20. Ain't mad 'bout it. Xbox stuff Nerd book, kurious farting and display art destroy all humans 2. Mynintendo/snes controller order came Mynintendo pins, p snap slider bags, and smash invitations. Haven't played with the controller yet but in hand it sure feels great. Loving how they are shipping these snes controllers, they each come sealed in the box behind the red packaging from Nintendo, since the red packaging isn't sticker sealed or anything. Speaking of snes I am so happy with my first go at Paracord sleeving, can't wait to play around more. That's it, have a great week y'all!!

drxandy | 3,213 Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) Slow this week, here's the gets 4 Xbox additions, super happy to find fallout brotherhood of steel locally. The stack is condition upgrades, found some crispy copies thrifting. Xbox book is very introductory but still neat to me. Crossover cable can be used to link 2 Xboxes without the use of a hub, the official link cable is just essentially a branded crossover cable. I mean you could use it to send data both ways on whatever PC, etc but I'm gonna just pretend it's for Xbox. Yay new old stock! Following up last week I did take the time to play a nice Mario world session with the snes switch controller and it really is nice, everyone wasn't foolin'. Well worth it. But yeah That's it for this week, got a bunch of stuff in transit woo woo see y'all on the flip. Edited June 4, 2021 by drxandy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next up some cheap Wii stuffff And then 360 (oh yeah a ds game too) First Templar sealed, display only art copy of too human because I have a sealed copy and dang it I want to play it eventually without opening that one.

drxandy | 3,213 Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Continued from ^^^ Cables and things, got the snes controller from the thrift for $4, in great shape. The Xbox av cables and 2 breakaways from another thrift for 3$ total, the rest of the breakaways from eBay for a couple bucks. Planning to do a little project and turn some Xbox 360 component cable into a regular Xbox ones with this av cables plug as the donor. Speaking of Xbox... Red ninja and pure pinball off the list, as well as a copy of the nfr halo that came with the green xbox bundle. Got another Xbox book, trying to get the ones that came out during it's lifespan. Also snagged a Canadian crystal controller in pretty nice shape off eBay, what a beaut. Now to get the clear console one day, but happy to finally have one. Gonna end the week with another woo woo but this time to @spacepupfor the following Xbox/360 goodies: More off the list!! variants, lovely japanese stuff dvds and demos. Thanks again!!! That's all!

I hope everyone has a great week, hug ya babies I was just sorting my Xbox games the other day and couldn't decide where to put Close Combat: First to Fight. First to Fight is in way bigger font, but Close Combat is on top. These are the kind of decisions that haunt my dreams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,213 Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 @DoctorEncore haha yesss and on the spine it's even harder to see the close combat part. I would firmly put it in the C's when I end up alphabetizing 'em. Font size be damned. On a very similar note the Xbox list I've been going with as a backbone is the syd bolton one and it places games with incomplete names and weird stuff like that once in a while. Great example I just came across: "Lara Croft Tomb Raider : Legend" being just listed as "Tomb Raider: Legend" moving from L to T for the sake of your mind thinking of a tomb raider game being in the T's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drxandy | 3,213 Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Happy Friday! June has gone fast, 5 days till the end which happens to be my birthday This week I'm gonna start with Xbox stuff and off the bat I got a package from @Tyree_Cooperwith playstation component cables and a HK Xbox controller S. Super neat to me to see the regional packaging. Also can't wait to hook up those cables to my ps2. Next up couple games off the list and a FDO. I have midway arcade treasures but the not for resale version.. and since there's another variant that is stylized along the lines of the art that the 2nd and 3rd treasures comps use, I inevitably will have another copy. Marvel ultimate alliance also has art variants, see ya eventually. Happy to find that pgr2 display cover though, normally I remove stickers but I might let some slide on these display covers. The spine one is killing me. Thought it was cute they were re-using this case for the new copies of the platinum hits release. Found this lot of manuals on the low, I don't particularly need any of them but I couldn't resist when I still gotta get Stubbs and land of the dead.

drxandy | 3,213 Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) Continued from ^^ 360 and ps2 stuffff I was gonna hold out on dragon quest viii for a copy with the outer box but this one is pretty nice for now. I also realized I am severely lacking the jak and daxter, ratchet and clank and sly cooper games, gonna be on the lookout for em. PS3 Yay the xillia's, Bayonetta and couple ratchet and clanks. PS1 Lil variety here, some more PS1 and DS Drawstring bag at top from mynintendo, also found another of my favorite psp case, and this kinda rare Mario gba SP case. Oh look a rumble pak. On that note, I'ma finish the week with some of them nintender 64 tapes that found their way from Taiwan to here via @OptOut That's all she wrote, Have a great week guys!

First off Playstation: Really nice original print copy of crash came into the local, along with legaia 2, silpheed and some cheap ps3 stuff. Moving on to nes Some loose, Some boxed, lots of paperwork inside yay. Controllers and wires Nice shape GameCube and nes controller in a lot from the ebay, Xbox extension and PS1 av from the thrift. 360! Got a big haul from the local of stuff in great shape for dirt cheap. The most expensive was 5.99 but vast majority .99c or 1.99. Condition upgrade for two worlds, picked up the regular edition of perfect dark zero since I had the steelbook. Continued >>> 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,213 Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) Continued from ^^ Onto regular Xbox 3 off the list, thought it was neat that toca 3 had a FDO cover with barcode sticker on case.. looked like the majority of em did on ebay so I'm guessing they rushed it out haha. Also Gunvalkyrie guide, seller added a Sega registration card that I'm pretty sure was in a game (and I know I have a Sega game that needs one so I'm happy to get it!) Got another package this week from Spacepup with more interesting goodies Couple copies of the Tokyo game show 2004 premium disc, some retailer 360 stickers, halo dog chain, loose jpn copy of halo, Blinx promo charm, and sneakers furry lanyard. Super cool stuffff. To finish the week, I came across something I didn't know existed and bought it. True fantasy live online was a cancelled MMO by Level-5 for original Xbox. Found this promotional popup display and according to the seller it was originally owned by an Xbox dev that worked on fable; they snagged it when the office was getting rid of stuff because it was a cool pop up. This piece inspired me to write a little blog about TFLO and other weird Xbox stuff. Expect a link in this spot very soon. That's all for this week, thanks for stoppin in!!

drxandy | 3,213 Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Ayo! Happy friday, here goes this week's pickups. First off got a couple Gameboy bags from @SNESNESCUBE64 The regular Gameboy one I had as a kid so I'm super happy to get one, and the Venusaur sp case is super cute too. Thanks dooood! Next up some random stufffff More 360 stuff, held off for a while but found a nice copy of ninja gaiden 2 with the slip cover, off brand 360 vga cable I got for a buck from the thrift, had regular theatrythm so I got curtain call, also cheap ac 3 for the Wii U Also some Wii U guides Got another copy of Nintendo land since it's so cheap, this one had different back art than the copy I already had too. Mario golf mynintendo tag came and some playstation 2/3 Found a decent ddr pad that has the zip and foam inserts for $5 thrifting, wooo I had the red octane one that was pretty much the same design back in the day and wore it down till it cracked and I got rid of it. Time to play ddr again haha. Ok finshing up with Xbox stuff, this week more crystal controllers from Canada! These 2 crystals I got as a broken lot, and sure enough they have issues. The one on the right everything worked but the A button was a haaardd press. So I cleaned it up super duper good and hoped that would be it, but no dice. Gonna have to work on it more. The left side one was non responsive on testing and I haven't cracked into it to see if there's anything that stands out. Either way I have a regular s controller I'm thinking of throwing in there in the meantime and since they have different pcb colors might be cool. Sealed cheatsaves thing, I kinda like the idea of the memory card usb reader. Weird war games book that looked kinda interesting. French cover nfl fever 2002 sealed, thought this was pretty neat. Games in English, I'm assuming just the manual and box art are french. Came from Niagra falls, NY so it's close to Quebec for sure. That's it for this week!

drxandy | 3,213 Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Continued from ^^ Stubbs! Glad to get it! Made use of the manual I got a couple weeks ago and got a copy with only the soundtrack card to bring the price down to around half the market value. Picked up this issue of Famitsu weekly and another copy of the 2002 summer lineup dvd. The same disc is packed in the magazine, just a cool variant. To finish the week a sealed Spanish language copy of one of my favorite Xbox games, Voodoo Vince!

There's a remastered digital version for the modern Xbox and PC via steam if ya wanna play!! It has it's flaws as a platformer (I never beat it because the last level is super tedious before you get to the boss, pretty sure I still have my save file at the end.. might just hop on YouTube haha) but the soundtrack is fantastic, so is the art, and the characters aren't too bad either.

drxandy | 3,213 Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Happy end of July, here goes this week's gets. Starting with the Xbox, got this cool japanese xbox live kit box? I've never seen this specific style kit before and it kinda feels like the stuff included isnt accurate to what it would have originally contained but I don't know and would love more info Paperwork def says something about phantasy star, but the real reason I had to get this was this cool True fantasy live online calendar. The art discs are really neat, double sided Anywho Snagged another hat, grandma's boy DVD for all the Xbox merchandising in the movie, three more off the list. Also found a copy of land of the dead without the manual, utilizing the manual lot I picked up a month ago brought it to half the market rate, whoo oh and some 360 GameStop had ffxiii-2 and red faction, they did a dirty swap on me with red faction to this display only case that was completely broken compared to the nice copy I thought I was buying that was on the sales floor. Since I'm into that alternative artwork its kinda a bonus (even though I replaced the case) but also the reason I don't shop at GameStop normally. On to Nintender stuff Mandys all on that monster hunter stories 2, various Wii cheaps and a decent loose copy of pokemon stadium. Found a Tecmo Superbowl box.. gotta snag a cart now, but I couldn't resist the handwritten codes on the back of someone's hospital paperwork. Also kingdom hearts recoded in very nice shape. Mandy snagged the switch games, yay Zelda rerelease. And big boo to best buy for refusing to give us the preorder bonus on skyward.. the only reason why we preordered. Finishing the week with some playstation 123 Have a great week y'alllllllll! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,213 Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 Happy Friday! Here's the gets: First off some Milton Bradley pokemon licensed games from the thrift xbone starlink set from the five below 360 demos, 2.0 kiosk and the rpg one The seller I bought those from offered me something on the side on ebay and I normally wouldn't do that but seemed trustworthy plus he figured out my weakness for weird stuff I thought they were neat - backwards compatibility discs for 360. You could request a physical disc from ms if you lacked internet access. Threw in the og launch pamphlet too!!
