drxandy | 3,225 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) I hope to watch my collection grow and hope to keep a weekly post going, so maybe this thread will keep me on it. New stuff every Friday so often haha. Woo woo. Current Main Goals: Original Xbox North America fullset, Gamecube Japan exclusives, PS2 (RPGs and exclusives) Backburner goals: Nintendo 64 USA CIB full set, SNES (rpgs and shmups), X360 Japan shmups, NES CIB, NDS CIB, GB(C,A) loose -- Heyo, here's the latest snags. Today was pretty dang good. Found 2 nes base units, one had a copy of Mario 3. All together less than 9$! Haven't seen this good of a deal/an nes at a thrift in years, and I go often.

Vaosu | 104 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Ah Volunteers of America thrift store, had some awesome finds there before they shut down. They had absolutely no idea what anything was electronic wise. Nice score! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Figured I'd check the local game shop for a wall wart, and got lucky again (they usually never have oem in stock) and in this good of condition! Knocked off a couple rarer Xbox titles, and couldn't pass on phantom brave and sealed dead rising 2 Edited January 23, 2021 by drxandy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drxandy | 3,225 Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Here's the last couple days, been finding handheld bags like crazy. Couple og Xbox games that I never see locally added toward the full set. Couple star wars guides. Couple 360 games for a buck each in crispy shape. I love the double disc sets that came with consoles. Hey maybe I like things in twos. Ope. Edited January 23, 2021 by drxandy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we can both play Pokemon The armed and dangerous hat I am curious about, where did it come from? was it a preorder thing?

Replacement parts end up being just about as expensive as the controllers themselves but I love modding stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drxandy | 3,225 Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Welp it's the new year now, happy 2020! here-a-wegoes: More beautiful jpn gamecube exclusives, the us only got one of zoids games to Japan's 4 (vs, vs II, vs III, full metal clash). Battle legends(us/pal) is vs II. On another note I love this bootleg ass pokemon guide. Big haul of Xbox guides purchased from the lovely acidjaguar. Knocked out two of the classics! More xbox! Chugging along nicely. Everything else was a thrift find, was surprised to find a sealed PS4 game for $2, even though it's not a pricey title it's an exclusive and looks kinda cool. Missing in the picture is a bootleg PS3 controller I found for 2.50, before Sony cracked down on the counterfeits. It charged up but I haven't tested yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Another week, another post: Another batch of Xbox, wooo. Found some guides at the thrift as well as the cube controller (cleaned up nice, ordered a clear green button set - new project) and another PS3 controller but this time not fake. The bootleg from last week is next to it, after playing around the fake has slightly longer sticks but both paired to my PS3 just fine after charging. Need to clean the real one because it has some issues registering face buttons. Fake on top Found some cool ds games I couldn't pass up, normally wouldn't buy loose games but bangai-o was $3. Everything else was clean, crispy, and complete. Genesis 2 base unit for $7, need to get Av and power cable but nice to actually own a Genesis again. Shirin the wanderer 2 addin slowly to the j n64. One piece jpn exclusives Grand battle 3 and Treasure battle, and part of baten kaitos. Edited January 23, 2021 by drxandy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Pretty slow this week Panzer dragoon Orta is a really nice upgrade to the copy I had. The animal crossing cards took buying another copy just for the cards, so now I have some in the jpn gamecube collection, sealed kinect game, other cheaps, oddworld needs the discs cleaned but I am happy to have for a buck. Nothing special, here's to next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drxandy | 3,225 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Ending January now, here's the scores: 3 neat and cool og Xbox games! Everything else was thrifted, the silver 360 faceplate looks like it was never used, $1 mk7 Jpn cube: Dokapon dx and Hikaru no Go 3! Bought the raphnet snes to gc adapter here from zeppelin03. I am super stoked to use a snes pad with the gameboy player much cheaper option than the hori pad. Hikaru no go 3 is pretty neat, anime based on the game go. Comes with a gba cart for link action/importing data between handheld and console. I love stuff like this. Anyways, thanks for stopping in. 'til February, happy game hunting!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) 1st of the month! Puyo and Momotaro dentetsu 11 for the jpn cube, and KoF heros for xbox. The rest thrift finds, happy to get a wavebird receiver on the cheap. Snagged this nice component switcher off eBay, hooked up and it's perfect for my Toshiba af series crt that only has one stinkin component input. Now I need to get some rca y adapters to share audio with the s video port since it's weird like that, but it auto switches beautifully. I had been watching for a good deal and ended up very happy with this buy. To end this week's post, heres a sneak peek at the gba project I've been working on Edited January 23, 2021 by drxandy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drxandy | 3,225 Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 I don't have access to my soldering iron right now so I installed it without backlight control. Full backlight is gorgeous though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 This week continuing the crt switching, found this auto switching s video switcher for $2 and it's awesome! Sony sb-v55a Only 3 svideo inputs, but that's ok with me. Works great auto switching. Since I finally have my little setup going I dug out these new old stock cables I had been saving, the terk switch box will have a different tv home now because auto switching is way cooler. Anyways still in progress on the tv front, here's the game snags Super cheapies, everything this week was $2-3 a pop. I ordered a clear purple button set for the cube controller. Gotta stop buying guides but hard when they're so cheap, also some nice 12ft acoustic research pro series component cables. Hope next week goes smooth for y'all, happy game hunting!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
