Super Mario Adventures (IT'S FINALLY MINE ONCE AGAIN!! :D)

I knew this was coming out but I didn't know when. I have to get this. 

These are some new pick ups I got. 

[kirby1up]

well my birthday was last week and as a result that means I got birthday money for various goods specifically collectable goods.(though I did get overwatch and star wars battlefront as well :P) 

first up I got the remaining 6 fnaf 8-bit builds i was missing,as well as more card holders for my card collection binder (all of the digimon cards are finally in plastic slips)

then yesterday it turned out walmart was having a sale on skylander stuff so I decided to finally get the supercharger stuff i've been wanting to get for awhile. plus some imaginator figures.

 

however I waited till today to post about my earnings because prior to my birthday I had managed win a ebay lot for this! (and no the sleeping cat wasn't a part of the lot)

to quote the ebay listing

Quote

This is a lot of 86 total pieces from Activision Skylanders! They are from 2011 thru 2014. Included in the 86 pieces are 34 Spyro's Advrenture, 13 Giants, 22 Swap Force, 6 Trap Team, 4 Traps and 7 cards.

so yeah looks like i'll be busy with skylanders this week

Recently I departed my PS2 and got a voucher for the trade in and most of my games since the last time I played on that was 10 years ago, bitterly. Apart from 3 games that I miss, most are on other consoles so it wasn't a big loss. So what to spend a voucher on? How about clearing some of my wish list? Some of these I have been after for 16-18 years considering how hard it is to get Nintendo 64 games as well as that back in the day, they were very expensive. Since I know some of the library is out of reach (Conker, Mario Party 1-3 and Paper Mario, Banjo Tooie is borderline), decided to focus on the lesser known titles and the racing games that is my second/3rd favorite genre depending on system. Luckily the N64 was strong on racing games. I am getting close to having all the games that I am after with a few PSP games here and there, Dragon Quest 8 on the 3DS, Sonic Mania...

In case the image goes down, the games in question are: F1 Racing Championship, Racing Simulation: Monaco Grand Prix (the unlicensed prequel of the former, there are 3 other names of this game depending where you live), Excitebike 64 (great soundtrack), Mission Impossible, Multi Racing Championship, Ridge Racer 64, Top Gear Rally and TG Rally 2 (it would have been called Top Gear Rally 2 but you know who is to blame and wasn't willing to go to Spain or Italy to find a copy with its proper name). Apart from one, they are cartridge only copies that I don't mind due to the flimsy packaging Nintendo used and more space for me.

Out of that voucher, Beetle Adventure Racing and Roadsters are still on their way as well as still some credit left over. The only one that isn't as great condition is Mission Impossible and needs a clean, a few of them having dusty pins so they need a quick clean (I don't have rubbing alcohol to clean them properly).

I am honestly surprised by F1 Racing Championship still having its box considering how rare the game is and that it was listed as Unboxed so I ended up with a bargain for that one. So I'm really pleased.

[Haalyle]

Got this the other week, though I kinda spoiled my mum's idea of getting me a bedside lamp for Christmas, whoops.

[The Chairman Of The Board]

Yesterday I bought probably one of the coolest things I've ever gotten. 

Also since it's getting cold and I can't wear my baseball cap anymore, I picked up a beanie. 

(I don't know why it says $9. I best offered it to $8 from $11). I will have some more stuff to post depending on how some bids and best offers turn out.

Christmas presents are over and done with for now in my family.

I'm happy enough to have what I've received for this year. Not as much as a last year's, but it's good.

Merry Christmas all!

[Arcade Racer CC14]

Hauls from the past week. The first was a Christmas present I received from my favorite Cousin last weekend and the second arrived yesterday from Amazon. (It was only THIRTEEN BUCKS, so I couldn't resist.):

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls Minis - Pinkie Pie
Diddy Kong amiibo (Super Mario Series)

Project X Zone 2

[Mr Loopone]

Got most of these through the mail today apart from the last two. What is happening right now is that I'm on my way of finishing my collection as in the games that I'm interested playing and suffering a touch of a mid life crisis. I got rid of a few games to pay for these being ExoSquad, Super Mario Advance 4 that I found really disappointing since the magazines lied to me with all these new levels but ended up with a cutdown version of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Wrestlemania. Well I only played them a few times and weren't keen on them, ExoSquad is worth more now than what was paid nearly 20 years ago. I would have also got rid of PGA Tour Golf 2 but no one wants that.

Crash Time 1, 2, 3 (360)

One of those surprising holy grails that I'm really glad to get, one people wouldn't think. Really pleased about getting them. Not just 1 and 3 but also 2! Crash Time 2 is perhaps one of the rarest retail games on the 360 where English copies are really really really hard to find. So much so that people had a hard time at launch finding this one. The copy that I got was the only one for the entire country! It really was right place at the right time as it only just popped up. There are only a few European copies lurking around online (a few French and two Spanish ones), one going for silly money but no English ones online as of writing. Why no German copy as mentioned below? Completely different as this series in German is a licensed game, under the Alarm for Cobra 11 series and imagine to be German only. Crash Time is the non-German version of these games. All I'm after now are 4 and 5 however they are on the PS3 as well so if I can't find them on the 360, they'll do. Even German copies since both versions are on the PS3 version.

Sakura Wars: So Long My Love (Wii)

I know you might be thinking why did I buy the German version? Well it is because it was new and much cheaper, more than half price cheaper. The disc is in English, just not the packaging or the manual (that itself might be badly translated from English anyway). For an English copy, it is much more expensive used and one of the most expensive games on the Wii. More than Xenoblade Chronicles, that's for sure and about the same price as The Last Story. It's a Sega game and one that is a bit different to play so should be able to have some fun.

Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 (360) and Need for Speed Underground Rivals (PSP)

A funny thing was that this was a last minute purchase. Originally I was going to get SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3 on the PSP however the place had no copies at all and have been unable to find the game. Whoever thought that a SOCOM game is hard to find while I got many obscure games much easier, it also happens to be my last major PSP game to find. Luckily though, I had the rest of the Dynasty Warriors Gundam series and just missing this one. The Need for Speed game for similar reasons. I might have to check the disc for Gundam 2 though.

Spider-Man 2 (PSP) and Killer is Dead (360)

As mentioned on the GOOD THING thread, I got one for free or a big discount by mistake. Just a couple of cheap buys to play. I know Spider-Man 2 is apparently good but unsure whether the PSP one applies too.

As of writing, The Guided Fate Paradox is on its way and I can finally say this. I am very close to getting all the games that I'm after. It's more or less just Dragon Quest 8 and Sonic Mania now. Yay! Oh and some cables for my Dreamcast (my TV doesn't have VGA) but it is hard to find decent ones to buy that either don't break or jam the console.

[Big Panda]

Bet none of you knew this existed

[Your Vest Friend]

Oh, I had that game on PC!

Preeeetty sure it's not the game you're thinking of...

[Your Vest Friend]

It is though. I checked out footage of the PS1 game and it's exactly the same as I remember of the PC game. 

[Big Panda]

...oh.

[Your Vest Friend]

I mean, it's possible it's a Japanese-exclusive port, because I'm pretty sure we never got a PS1 Snowman game in Europe. 

Or, checking the time frames, the PC version was a port of the PS1 original. 

Edit: Found an Amazon listing for it. Check out the screenshot on the back of the case photo. 

[Big Panda]

That link doesn't work.

[Badnik Mechanic]

It never came to the west, Japanese exclusive on the PSX.

Didn't know it existed.

Hauls for the week, both procured with Christmas money. The first I pre-ordered from Amazon and the second I ordered from Walmart.com and picked up yesterday:

Darkwing Duck Comics Collection Volume 1: Orange is the New Purple

TMNT 2012 Armaggon Figure

[Lucid Dream]

Thought it was finally time I showed the figures I talked about in my status updates here. 

So my very latest purchases was this absolutely adorable Kirby nendoroid. It has so many parts, so I'm just gonna show a few. 

I also got a holy grail. This Alice Margatroid figure is something I've wanted for 6 years but never managed to buy because it's always been priced at ~£180. I found it for £70 so it was an insta-get even if it was pre-owned. A great price. It's absolutely stunning in every way.

Oops, sorry about the panty shot, anime girls just can't keep their panties out of view nowadays can they. 

Here are some older figures I got which I've mentioned here.

Spoiler

This Sanae Kochiya figure is another I've wanted for 6 years. She's so serene and relaxing and has a wonderful atmosphere. My 3rd Sanae figure, and I'm not stopping there  

This Remilia Scarlet figure is the best figure I own, and is considered one of the best figures out there. She's absolutely magnificent, and has more detail than you can see with a naked eye, and there are absolutely no errors. It's ridiculous. Then again, her price was also quite ridiculous... Worth it though. 

The picture is awful and does absolutely her no justice. That's my new PC in the back too. Great computer. 

Sorry for the bad quality images. Yea, almost all my figures come from games, and half of them are from Touhou (I have an unhealthy obsession to that series). Well it makes me happy.
