This is the knife display:

My worry is that he might be like "ooh lemme rub my face on that". 

And this is the stovetop, as you can see it's flush with the rest of the counter, he's jumped up and walked across it a few times. 

Blades down! You tryin to cut your arm off?

Larry is friggin adorable!! Congrats on the new family member

Happy Friday!

Not much this week, but some genesis cheapies. A nice copy of sonic spinball came into the local (with Jurassic Park poster) snagged that and Risk since it had the manual for $5 ea.

Also this stereo shelving showed up at the thrift

it has such a nice 2000s vibe (xbox-y kinda), super heavy duty, I'm gonna use it to display consoles. 

Have a great weeeeeek yalllll!

Wordd, pm sent

Maybe dodonpaichi? I think I have the other games, checked the thread. Gotta shift to what you love, I totally get it!

Friday again!

Got a package from spacepup in da mail!

Happy to add these to the collection, thanks again dood!!

Combo pic of everything else: Mario kart 8 and Pikmin 4 stickers from MyNintendo. Bobokin amiibo from best buy (finally have the botw set, woo) Game guides, MX vs ATV and cable for 360 and poochy amiibo (4.29!) from the thrift. Also holy cow, when did poochy get so pricy online?

Anywhooo have a great week yalllll!! See ya next Friday!

Hey it's Friday again!

Found a beat FDO halo 2 at the local store, brings back a nice memory of seeing the display sitting on the GameStop counter way back when. I was tempted to remove stickers but this thing has already been through it and then some so they're staying on.

Back to the cheap genesis games, snagged these 3 @ 3.99 each heck yaaa.

Thrift stuffffff

Got these 3 at $2 each, woo. This week I missed out by minutes on an intellivision and probably 8 boxed games, saw a guy holding em with excitement heck yaaa. Also passed on a 360 e model for $40, untested PS2 and og Xbox for $20 each.

Have a great week yalllllll!!

Awe I'm seeing sold out again, missed by a few hours. Thanks for posting about it, I eventually wanna get one but I'm in no rush.

Noooo! aw dood I'm so sorry that really sucks(on both things but the shelf falling is worse) You got thiisss!! Just let the frustration wear off and you will figure out the best solution, might make some good posting for the repair shop thread?

Friday here! 

Mandy snagged a boyfriend game for vita, lele

Couple genesis games from the local game store, 15$ on world of illusion in really nice shape with handwritten codes woo. 3.33 each on the other 3 without the instructions but what can ya do for that price

Nothing cool from the thrift this week, ope!

Have a great week yallll

Happy birthday @Foochie776 @Quaze @Sargon!!!!

Awe shucks, thanks you guys

Happy Friday, it's my birthday! Woo woo

Just some thrift stuff this week:

Pair of guitar hero live guitars with Xbox one usbs (I wanna call em dongles dang it), holy cow have these got expensive compared to how they were practically giving away the sets at the end of its life. Got lucky for $5 each and they both had decent batteries in em

Wiimote and nunchuck in nice shape for 5$

lil purple sparkly space invader gonna look cute on the shelf

saw a few other game things thriftin but they're raising prices, $70 Wii bundles and an 80$ first model white PS4, ya just never know 

have a great week y'all!!!

@DarkTone sweeeeet, the lid and the cart slot are awesome!

The bricks and color scheme are great too, heck almost too many little details, haha

I would remove the logos just because it should be obvious what is being referenced and I think it would look cleaner without but dang they did a nice job!!

Happy Friday! 

Mandy picked up the new final fantasy from best buy and got a steelbook woo

I went camping this week and didn't hit the thrifts much, but did get some cool shoes off eBay. First time with their authentication process, if you're selling they pay for shipping the shoes to them for verification then slap a lil nfc tag on it with the details and send it off to the buyer, pretty cool.

On to the shoes, N64 themed Nike air max 97s!!

These released in September 2019, I really dig the colorway but the little details are so cooooool

Comes with 5 pairs of laces for your choice, the air max esrb in the heel is so neat.

Same with the power / reset on the tongues, super nice little touches.

That's it for this weeeeeek, see ya next Friday!

Neat! it's a sample so since you can't find more its currently not a model that is available to the public. I see samples in the shoe world here and there and its always neat to see a preproduction model. Will pdp release it? Maybe in the future but who knows, and how it fits in at home Depot I have no idea.

Fridays here! Only thrift stuff this week, keeping it short:

Wii power/av @ .50c ea heck yaaaa, kinda surprised to find so many games this week they usually are picked quick, persona 5 i feel like we have almost every version now lol

That's it for this week, thanks for peeking see ya next Friday

Mario and wario for sfc, it uses the mouse and is entirely in English I think

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_%26_Wario?wprov=sfla1

Unless you want your hardware stock, yes the IPS screen kits are fantastic for actually playing. I have only done one, for regular gba and the screen looks great. I have a dmg, pocket, and a sp that I plan on getting ips kits for eventually.

You can find replacement cables at thrift stores sometimes, they don't always have the figure 8 with the square edge but almost always have regular figure 8 cables (sometimes even sony ones). I like to snag em when I see em if they're high quality, always nice to have replacements but since I've been finding consoles with no cords my stash has dried up.

Eeeek on that being plugged in! Gnarly mannn.

Awe yaaa I love the banana sleeve, still got mine from the Walmart gamers club promotion haven't seen another one in a while heck yaaaa

Congrats on completing the set!! Heck ya, nice stufffff!!

Heck ya dood, congrats again on the new place!! Stoked to see how ya set it up! For real though, are you gonna do the Arcade/movie theater flooring?

Happy Friday, here goes this week's stuff!

Another 360 from the thrift, $15 this time with power cord, it's a falcon mobo, I'm almost done buying em I swear but they're so cheap it's hard to say no, I passed them up for many years in the 30-40$ range, works great, still gotta clean it up but heck ya

More thrift stuff: Tiger gen 1 PokeBall toy, datel 360 wireless networking,  Wii sports and sports resort in the same sleeve for $2 heck ya but super scratched up on resort (have to get that one resurfaced prob), sealed nunchuck and rock band guitar tabs book which is kinda interesting.

Ending the week on an N64 note:

Decently clean nice copy of Xena came to the local store 

Have a great week yallll!
