I just got back from Japan this past Friday. Here is all the stuff i brought back with me.





I bought the Jojo's used for like $15 but everything was in the box and it was all sealed


Got a decent deal on the twin famicom. The Disk portion doesn't work, hence the deal.


Here is the non-gaming stuff


This was the only berserk thing i saw while in Japan. Very upsetting. I would have dropped tons of money on Berserk stuff


Took a trip to the studio Ghibli museum. It was pretty magical



This deserves its own picture. It was only 500 yen. Figures are everywhere in Akihabara, and many are pretty cheap

Saturday's mail brought me a copy of Vice City Stories for the PSP.

Didn't know there were wireless PS2 controllers until last week. This arrived today to rectify that gap in my life .

Belated post of my goodies from MGC 2015. Wasn't looking for anything in particular this year (with the exception of 50 Cent: blood on the sand...yes I'm being serious - the game is both ridiculous and crazy fun) but still found some solid stuff for fairly cheap - nothing over $20.

Vendor floor was a freaking zoo all weekend. The show set up a freaking 50,000 sqft. tent this year just for vendors and board games and I still can't walk a foot without standing next to someone who decided not to shower that morning, haha.

Dunno whether to laugh or cry.

Awesome haul there munchi!  I love picking up random cheap figures when I buy stuff online too, sometimes the quality is meh, but other times they look great! 

I just got back from a wedding in Champaign-Urbana and besides a parking ticket (yay) I also got Death Crimson OX for the Dreamcast because the price was cheap and I needed it.  Found a very cool retro game store down there called Live Action Games where the people were super friendly, knowledgeable, and best of all everything already had a price on it so there was none of this "let me check the price" bullshit so many stores do.  They even had a huge pile of random fami/super famicom games for sale.  Would highly recommend to anyone in the area. 

Oh, and a batch of replacement Sega Saturn lasers just showed up at my work.  Hopefully there are no duds.

I didn't even know Sega Saturn lasers go bad, I thought those things were built like a tank. lol

They're way more reliable than say Playstation lasers.

But I've had a few go bad, or at least get weaker over the years. They're way more reliable than the Saturn cartridge slots though.

I have a handful of units with bad lasers that need to be addressed.  I was able to get a decent bulk price on them so that's fine.  A couple are 20pin units that would be cool to use for a RHEA or something, but I'd rather just fix them if it's not too complex.

Bought Bloodborne, Axiom Verge and Shovel Knight for PS4. I have been on a Demon's/Dark Souls kick and figured I should get Bloodborne. These games are amazing. Axiom Verge is a must if you like Metroid games. Shovel Knight feels like a legit AAA NES title with the colors of a TG-16 and parallaxing of a Genesis. The music is beyond phenomenal. This is the best indie game I have ever played and I thought Axiom Verge was the best until I played this, lol.

Traded in some stuff at the game store yesterday for an unprecedented $100.  I went a little crazy & got:

PS2:
Memory card & Dual Shock 2 controller
Gradius III & IV
Gungriffon Blaze
Taito Legends 2

Dreamcast:
Boxed controller
Unreal Tournament

NES:
Blaster Master loose

And I've still got $30 left!  Thinking of running back today & picking up a couple things.  I'm considering Kirby for the N64 but they also had a couple Onimusha games on PS2 for cheap.
