Reed Rothchild | 9,516 Editorials Team · Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Took the boys back home to see the grandparents, and hit all my usual places. But man have things changed in the 18 months since I've been here. The big retro place moved across the state. The other one had the most pathetic inventory I've ever seen. You could tell they were trying to compensate by selling new games, including lots of LRG. And my hidden gem pawn shop seems to have moved away from media. Books are always a success though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,516 Editorials Team · Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 April Amazon points time. This thing dropped to $55 (before points) so I finally jumped on it. Can't believe how big this damn thing is. I'll eventually try to get rid of the bonus crap because it takes up too much valuable shelf real estate. And then the random pickups from the last few weeks/months 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,516 Editorials Team · Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 It's that time of the month. I had enough Amazon points to get Raiden IV for $2.50. Need for Speed was $20, so I picked it up to play with the boys. The original Hot Pursuits were pretty great. Persona is $33 on Amazon.

Reed Rothchild | 9,516 Editorials Team · Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 Replaced some heavy hitters I used to have. The PSP stuff is sealed, unfortunately. I'm gonna feel really bad opening stuff up. Thanks @spacepup 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drxandy | 3,225 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 If you really don't want to open them it's really easy to load custom firmware on the psp and load games from the card reader (memory stick to microsd converter) instead of the battery draining and noisy UMD drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,516 Editorials Team · Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 June Amazon points item finally arrived (Savage Planet). And then I finally pulled the trigger on Ryza at around $50. It's in print again and that's the cheapest it's ever been, so I relented. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respect, it does take away part of the original experience. The pspgo never had a drive so i try and justify it like that and even with cfw you still retain use of the drive whenever you want.

Good stuff doesn’t stay on the shelves long and people aren’t trading in as much as they used to. And maybe the pawn shop is selling the media on eBay!

Reed Rothchild | 9,516 Editorials Team · Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 August Amazon points time. This time I used it towards Bravely II, which had dropped to $30. And then UPS lost it. Two weeks later it shows up, with the replacement copy. Zelda was a gift from my mother. Mario and the top row of UK import books were a gift to myself for a professional victory. The rest are thrift store finds. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,932 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Nice stuff, and nice of your mom too. Mine got me that Mario game there last birthday. Maybe she'll get me that Zelda too, as I can't stomach buying it again but I keep reading it plays so much better not with the junk waggle controls.

bowser | 598 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who truly enjoyed the controls on the Wii version of Skyward Sword and didn't have any problems with it haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,516 Editorials Team · Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 September Amazon points time. Used them to get Ys IX for about $30. And then I burned all of my Gamestop coupons and whatnot to grab the NIS Classics. And an LRG order arrived. And the books are all thrift store finds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,516 Editorials Team · Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 October Amazon points. I was able to get G-Darius for $10. Gamestop sale: Monster Hunter for $33, Hotline Miami for $20, R-Type for $30, and I got Zombie Army for $12 to get free shipping with MH. Sapphire was $40 and I feel like it's already hard to track down. Mary Skelter was one I waffled on with LRG. And then it was back in stock on Amazon for $50. So I said screw it. If I never have time to ever get to yet another JRPG, I can always sell for profit (probably). Bought Smash Bros. for a game night (and we didn't even play it because I figured out you have to unlock all of the shit) The retro games I bought from @spacepup Bought Silence of the Lambs for the book club. The rest are thrift store finds 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,516 Editorials Team · Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 It's that time of the year. Holiday gifts + Amazon points + splurging on some stuff with a piece of my Christmas bonus. Got all of these Sanderson imports with a giftcard from Xmas. The top row were Xmas gifts from my mother, Redwall was a thrift store find, and the Abercrombie's I bought with my Amazon points for December. Treated myself to both of these, $25 each on Amazon. That gets my HG101 collection up to 5. Got these all off eBay. I used to own the first two, and always coveted the latter two. Glad to finally have them all. Again. Panzer Paladin I bought with my Fantasy Football winnings. Hot Wheels and Pokemon were Xmas gifts to me from my sons. Tails of Iron and Blue Fire and Chicken Police and Oddworld and Ni No Kuni 2 were all on sale at Gamestop, and after coupons came out pretty cheap. No More Heroes was an Xmas gift from my mother. Metroid and Fata Morgana were from another gift card. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,516 Editorials Team · Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 I waited 10 damn years for these two movies to get blu ray releases, and they finally happened. And then I finally splurged on an import order. All Asian region, since the OCD in me cannot stand the thought of having spines that are in Japanese, or PAL (centered). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
