The "What cool things did you get today or recently?" Thread

[RyogAkari]

Yo!


So I basically wanted a place to brag about the small fun deals that I got today and ones I'll get in the future, and think some of you guys should get to as well! Today I picked up a copy of Blazing Star from a local arcade distributor that has some MVS carts for sale. I traded my last cart recently for other games but didnt want to be denied that great shooter action this game has to offer.

To my surprise, the cart had a perfect label, a stinking low serial number (my lowest by far!) and came with a marquee! The marquee's a little bent up and will probably take a few weeks to bend back out into shape.

I was browsing through their other stuff and he had this cool sticker that he let me have for free with the cart that is now on my machine:

So! What cool things have you guys gotten today or recently?

I got a new watch, it connects to my phone via bluetooth and I can answer calls like Dick-motherfucking-Tracy, as well as control the MP3 player feature.

 

[werejag]

wow interesting watch what brand model?

Sony Ericsson. HBH-MBW 100. It only works with a selection of S-E phones however. I got black over silver. I got the HBH-GV435 bluetooth headset to go with it too.

I just scored the vinyl 12" of Shinin' by Mondo Grosso (i.e., the track used in the Lumines skin) for the same as the CD single would've cost ... the vinyl is hell of rarer, too.

I haven't really gotten anything cool recently except my Zune which I've had a couple months. Most of my money has been going towards necessities and to fix my car. I'll post near easter, I might have some cool stuff then.

 

[Eldios]

I just bought a very nice boxed Duo-RX which I am patiently waiting for in the mail.

I just pulled in a US Xmen vs Street Fighter A+B for $30 shipped. The blue board isn't working, but the A works fine. All in all, great for $30 shipped. I need to get a harness and turn my screen and i'll have a nice vampire savior 2 setup.

Also arrived is a nice condition Dreamcast system courtesy of 6-to-the-8-to-the-k.

Blazing star? Awesome choice. Wouldn't mind getting Blazing Star myself, though I would prefer a complete AES version.

Speaking of, I did at least find and buy a Pulstar AES in good+ condition recently for a reasonable price. Yay!

 

[taitai]

i didn't buy anything, but i did finally get something I've wanted for awhile.

I did finally get my hands on the front panel for an SNES.
