The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

bartre · 02/29/2012, 06:26 PM

I picked up a couple toys from animes at a local shop for pretty cheap, but i looked them up on amazon, wow!
http://www.amazon.com/Berserk-Swordsman-Millennium-Falcon-Action/dp/B000HWZJMK/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1330557817&sr=8-22
http://www.amazon.com/Xebec-Toys-Fist-North-Kenshiro/dp/B004FW9FHS/ref=sr_1_8?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1330557833&sr=1-8

I don't figure they're worth quite that, anyone around here more knowledgeable than me on these things, i just thought they were cool, though if they're worth money i probably won't be hanging on to them.

You will be very happy with Dracula X. Just play it.

And remember. It doesn't count as beating the game if you haven't done it with Richter at 100%.

TRUTH. <---note the capslock.

Starfighter · 03/01/2012, 03:51 AM

I got these today! I intentionally picked the loose ones, I don't know why but I like them loose. It's like flipping through a pack of hockey cards or something.

Actually I have three copies of Drac X... I'm crazy, I know! And yeah, I agree that using Maria is an easy mode for the game but she's still a blast to play with and one of my favorite aspects of the game.

Terminarcade · 03/01/2012, 11:45 AM

My most recent pickups. A CMVS with Ghostlop, Art of Fighting, World Heroes and a Multicart 120 in 1.

Mathius · 03/01/2012, 11:54 AM

Is that CMVS from Analogue Interactive?

Terminarcade · 03/01/2012, 12:06 PM

Yep that's the one.

chany60126 · 03/01/2012, 02:45 PM

That CMVS looks pretty darn cool! I wish I could afford one of those bad boys. As a side note, nice kidney bean controller.

Samurai Ghost · 03/01/2012, 09:05 PM

Damn, that is one awesome looking CMVS!! Do want!! Seems that is real wood, too? Damn!!

Thanks everyone!

I did get a pretty good deal on that bundle. Even if it costed me a arm & leg, its one of those things that I just could not pass.

PunkCryborg · 03/02/2012, 10:17 AM

Got all this for pretty cheap on YJA

Ai Cho Aniki is one of my favorite games one the PCE, if not one of my favorite games ever, great music.

Bernie · 03/02/2012, 03:34 PM

Just bought Insanity for my Xbox 360. I had downloaded the trial version before, and never got around to actually purchasing it. So, today I did just that.

Heard it was meh, but $10 new I can take a chance

BlueBMW · 03/03/2012, 11:30 PM

$10? yeesh, guess you cant go wrong at that price....

This months pickups so far:

Yeah I know... another Laseractive <sigh> I just cant help but pick em up when they're cheap / broken. The Pippin was supposedly "broken" also, but it works just as designed. To some that might be considered broken though hehe. The two external floppy drives are for writing disks for the X68000. They work perfect!

Joe Redifer · 03/04/2012, 02:08 AM

I've never seen that decal on a LaserActive player before. Did that come on all of them and most people just peeled it off? If that's the case, I would never peel that off. Looks too cool.

Starfighter · 03/04/2012, 04:59 AM

A Pippin?! That's pretty cool! How much did you pay for it?

JapanTokei · 03/04/2012, 05:17 AM

Wow Blue - what is that Pippin thing.. looks really cool and eye-catching!

aren't you running out of storage space in your garage ?? lol

I'm still in process of downsizing personally. it is difficult to cut ties with all these loved games.. heh

Pippin is Apples and Bandais console!

Review on YouTube

kakutolives · 03/05/2012, 09:37 PM

speaking of bandai...
I ended up getting this disc for 25 expecting it would be the 2004 re-release off amazon

yay...

although i did pay full price suikoden 2 (109USD)

Samurai Ghost · 03/06/2012, 01:09 AM

Some recent pick ups.
Finally got Astra Superstars, which has been on my want list for years.
Just broke down a bought a copy in great shape for a fairly high price, but I'm glad I have it.
Can't say it fully met my expectations as a game, but it's quite fun and I'm looking forward to playing it with some friends this weekend. Since there are no fancy controller inputs and all characters have the same controls it should be easy for even fighting novices to pick up and play. Been on a real 2D fighter kick these days!

What middleman service do you use? I use Shopping Mall Japan but their fees have been killing me lately! I won a $15 MSX controller that wound up being over $38 so I'd really like to find other options.

It's the vertical gold Sega Saturn-stripe, I'm sure of it!

Looks especially good on multi-cd jewel cases *points to Twinkle Star Sprites*

Opethian · 03/06/2012, 08:45 AM

TSS is hawt! I dont think the saturn version lacks much against the neocd

Samurai Ghost · 03/06/2012, 09:14 AM

Yeah, I also think Saturn games look good, which is one of the reasons I like collecting them. Got a good deal on a sealed copy of TSS recently, but it was just too damn beautiful to crack open, so I bought this copy to play. That's the problem with buying sealed games. If it's at all rare I'll probably just end up with another copy to play and one to keep.

Tatsujin · 03/06/2012, 09:22 AM

not buyed but get:

New bazzy item entries for my bazzy collection

Samurai Ghost · 03/06/2012, 09:27 AM

Tatsujin · 03/06/2012, 09:35 AM

it's still been held, at the tokyo big sight exhibition east hall. until this friday.

it's not game related by any means. but where ever a NEC booth is, there is bazzy itmes as well.

BlueBMW · 03/06/2012, 11:55 AM

Really? There seems to be a lot of cool stuff there. I loved the "Strike" Series, though I don't know if I ever played Desert Strike. Actually, there are a LOT of game you pictured I could comment on, so I'll stop there. If you don't want Master of Monsters, let me know. ;)

I bought the lot for the laseractive and the sega cd games... I didnt even look at what cart games were included. I'll have to sort through em. Master of Monsters?

I thought you were being sarcastic! the carts alone are a good haul.

Yeah, I have the PCE version which I can't make heads or tails of. So not long ago I played some of the ROM for the Genesis version and really got into it! (I was hoping I could take screenshots of the menus use them as guides for the PCE version, but they aren't very similar). So now I wouldn't mind getting the Genny version one of these days. I'm short on funds right now (Arkhan gets first dibs on those for his proto-AbCard), but when I strike it rich, I'll ping you about Master of Monsters and probably other stuff.
