Do it, man. Not only because Soundwave is all kinds of awesome but you'll be supporting a MP that isn't another Optimus or Seeker repaint.

Yeah, but the Japanese versions overpriced compared to the Toys R Us version if it's like Grimlock or Optimus. I just wish my TRU was better about getting them.

Honestly the thread idea sounds douchey but I love looking at this thread because sometimes I discover stuff that I would totally purchase as well but prior to viewing the thread had no idea it existed.

Now that I'm out of school I might post some past pick-ups that I missed and my gaming room has been updated so I got get pics up of that as well

Yeah, Pick up threads are my absolute favorite, I love seeing what other people have bought, it's fun and sometimes I discover things on here I had no idea were around and I buy them myself, so I guess I owe you guys a thank you! :)

Anywho, my pickup for August so far:



Since we're in the Orlando Area, Walt Disney World Annual Premium passes! Woot

It was another one of those days at work where someone brought in a huge plastic bin of old PC/Mac/Playstation games. The first thing you should always do is go for the Jewel cases.

Don't worry about it. Stuff doesn't have to be strictly gaming related. If it's interesting, post it.

As for "The Wire" pickup, have you seen the show before? I remember trying to watch it a few years ago, but I couldn't get past the first episode or two. What is your opinion of it?

I see from your avatar that you also have fine taste with Heisenberg so maybe my TV viewing should try The Wire again?

It's the base model Retina with upped memory to 16GB.

I haven't seen The Wire before, but reading through a shitload of LTTP threads in the OT with everyone saying how good it was got me interested. I'm about 5 or 6 episodes in the first season right now, and I definitely am enjoying it, maybe not to the extent that other people here are, but it is pretty awesome. Looking forward to watching more.

It is hard to express how amazing The Wire is. Take it for what its worth but IMHO it was the best show on Television. There is a overarching plot line, each season also has its own story. the characters are extremely well written and the show has some dark humor to it as well.

Got an Everdrive flash cart for Game Gear. It comes with only the PCB so I had to gut a game to use the cartridge case. I used Sonic Blast because fuck Sonic Blast.

The two Phantasy Star games are the games I'll be running on my Game Gear but patched in English. I didn't buy those this month but they're there to show I'm not a pirate.

Some odds and ends so far.



An old rotary phone for 1975. I like it. Some twit pulled out the ringer though so I guess I'll need to scrounge up one of those.



Decided to stop waiting for my landlord to replace my ceiling light and got this one in the As-Is department at Ikea. $60 down to $20 so I'll take it. Give the LL the receipt and I should make him pay me for my time installing it. Cheap ass.



Gears 3 finally. $10 used so I couldn't turn it down.
