teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[jeffhlewis]

No gaming purchases, but today I was reviewing my domain name registrations for my freelance business, and had a free token for a domain registration.

So I'm now the proud owner of www.collectards.com. Any ideas what I should put there?

The robotech finds where actually at a cd exchange......$3.99 a set and they even did three sets for $10....google tells me that I am only missing sets 5, 6 as I was unsure if there was more after set 7....

Nice, I wouldn't have minded running into a Robotech collection, I would've snagged all that too. What I really want though is a complete set for Voltron. I dunno if they moved it to BluRay, but I'd love to have it (preferably BluRay if available). Was pretty expensive when I saw some seasons at BestBuy ($50 bucks/season) - haven't checked latest prices of new ones though.

Just to clarify that is two copies of Truxton one CIB missing manual and one loose...liked the finds as they were $8 and $14

The other one I remember hearing it was fun but mediocre.  So yeah....

Does this mean you have one copy that's just the Cart+Clamshell and one loose?  I'm a bit confused by your wording.  I've been looking for a CB Truxton if you're looking to get rid of one

I have two copies

One CIB missing manual

One loose

Both found at the flea market but at different locations.......I jumped on them both.....wife gave look of confusing as to why I bought two copies of the same game...


I informed her that you can never have enough Truxton.

Nice pickup on the Robotech DVDs...

The Half Price books close to me actually had two Robotech volumes on Laserdisc for relatively cheap...if anybody wants me to pick them up I'd be happy to.

If no one who has a laser disk player wants these let me know.....

I don't have a laser disk but it is on my list of future gets..wouldn't mind building a little laser disk collection of fun titles.

Damn I'm jealous. I've been looking for a copy of Truxton for awhile. Weird that you were able to find both at two different goodwills.

I agree though, you can never have enough Truxton!

Oh sorry not to confuse ..everything except the robotech and SNES games I found at a flea market.  The DVDs and SNES games were at a cd exchange.

The flea market finds where fun!!!

I wanted to also
Ick up a vintage HEAVY rotary metal phone that was refurbished and working...all black with chrom parts...but the guy was asking $40 and I only had $30 in cash left on me........he went to $35 but I didn't want to hit up a ATM for another $20 when it would charge me $5 just to get it.....

If anyone can give me more info on the various pc engine games and the one famicom game that would be helpfull

[jeffhlewis]

That famicom game is GeGeGe no Kitaro, which is actually the original Japanese version of the game that came to the states as "Ninja Kid"

Thnks...I had no idea....I don't think I have ever heard of seen or played ninja kid on the NES, but I'll check it out.....


I don't have a famicom but I do have a super 8 which I use to play malt NES and SNES imports...not that the SNES really needs a converter to pay import games....


As always I will look to see if the ninja kid NES game has been censored from its famicom counter part...

I bought a brand new sheet of glass for my pinball machine today.  Damn it looks sweet!  I think the one on my machine was the original sheet from 1987.  God knows what's been rubbed or f*cked on it.  I'd take a picture of it, but… well, it's glass!  Er…  actually here is a photo of it;
