Here are some of my favorite July pick-ups!

Dragon Ball & Supreme enthusiasts should get a kick out of this Supreme Kai shirt lol...

Got this pin at Comic-Con... Who knew I needed a Bulma + snapchat dog filter pin?!

Some of my haul from Evo 2017!

In the pile above you probably noticed that copy of Chrono Trigger for the Super Famicom?! Yeah?! It's signed by Hironobu Sakaguchi!

Had a good month so I rewarded my girl with some nice Supreme X Louis Vuitton stuff

Controller Chaos got me this amazing limited edition Evo Obsidian Arcade Stick (No. 23 of 50)!

From the good people at Hori!

From the good people at retro bit!

Apologies in advance for the massive post but I've missed a few months and been a bit spend happy of late.

======

360 haul. Glad to finally have a copy of Vesperia

Couple of PS3 bits too. Folklore's an old favourite.

Nothing too spesh here but Judge Dredd is more fun than I was expecting.

I did finally get a copy of .Hack Quarantine with the anime DVD included. Selling my pristine original copies of these games is one of my biggest collecting regrets.

Rounding out my Final Fantasy PSP collection. Just need the Collectors Edition of Crisis Core now.

Thought this would be as hard to get as Nintendo usually make things but apparently not. Still great to have though.

Some newer bits too. Still not opened Splatoon 2 lol. Getting the LE of Kingdom Hearts for less than £100 was a pain but finally found someone selling it for £60.

Finally caved on one of the many cheap Deus Ex deals going around. Sweet figure.

Got the Stormblood CE too to add this chap to my FFXIV collection.

A thing of beauty. ASUS Strix 17.3" GL702VM. Upgraded the SSD to a Samsung Evo and just on the lookout for some ram now to get that upto 16gb. Not bad for £850 though.

Tab S Pro too as my new daily driver for youtube, twitch, feedly etc.

Google Wifi, made everything muuuuuch smoother in the house.

Amazing set of wireless noise-cancelling headphones. Cannot recommend enough!

Couple of graphic novels I'd been meaning to pick up for a while.

=======

You know, seeing it all together like this, it's no wonder I never have any money. Ah well, can't take it with you.

If anyone cares, there's some photos of my newly organised games room on my Instagram

A few new games - Titanfall (Xbox One), just for collection's sake. Mass Effect: Andromeda, which finally hit the price that I was waiting for and the appropriately-named GotY Edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, so that I now have all of the game in physical form.

Both of these are actually July pickups, but it makes more sense to post them here. Anyways, they both are in addition to the PS4 (with Horizon and Batman: Arkham Knight) that I snagged last month.

Steins;Gate 0 is the one game I've wanted to play most and the reason I got the system in the first place, so I definitely can't wait to get my teeth sunk into it. As far as Uncharted 4 goes, I've enjoyed all of the Uncharted games so it'll be nice to see how they finish off the story. Looking forward to The Lost Legacy as well.

Got my Switch & Splatoon 2 towards the end of July though I just received my Micro SD card in August.

Also, I had picked up these gummy bears and for something that's supposed to taste like the juice it's based off of, they have no right to taste as good as they do.

I just finished putting together another media shelves thingy... I'll take a picture later, I don't know how I'm going to put stuff on it yet. It's the same kind as one I bought before.

Got 12 of these old clamshell NES game cases. Unfortunately I'll have to put the games in a different spot in the shelves since they don't fit in the CD sized holes with the cases.

Click to expand...

Got another Zelda II manual (I think I have another one somewhere, but I can't be sure) and this Dragon Warrior Explorer Handbook. I'm pretty close to beating the game anyways, though (I'm already near level 30).

Click to expand...

Got another kazzo. I got one earlier this year to dump my roms so I could put them on my PowerPak, but I can't find it for the life of me. I think I probably accidentally threw it out when I cleared out my desk and took it to the dump.

Click to expand...

My old one didn't have a famicom slot, though. That wouldn't be a problem now since I have a Honeybee, but I figured to just get one with a fami-slot this time.
I have like... no use for my Honey Bee now (I guess I could use it on my toaster when/if I ever play with that thing again)

I got a lot of stuff coming tomorrow, but I think it's enough to warrant its own post. My BotW Nendo was supposed to show up earlier, but something's going on with it and UPS(it's been here in town a couple days already, I paid five bucks to have the delivery delayed to today because I didn't want my 70 dollar toy sitting on my porch while I was out all day yesterday). If it actually does show up later today I'll edit a picture of it and it with all the other Zelda Nendos I have (WW, WW-Zelda, and MM)

Got a copy of Ninja Gaiden and its manual for 10.50 in an auction. Not a bad deal, I'd think... while not actually being "good." Also got the Zelda manual since I didn't have one. I just need the map now, the one I have is in Japanese.

Click to expand...

Got a copy of the Leisure Suit Larry NES version. They don't make them anymore, so I had to get it on ebay. I played the demo already and thought it was fun. Nostalgia-riffic!

Actually, I'll move this stuff to this post since I just got it today too...

edit:
Got my new BotW Nendo in today. Still kinda peeved that it was in town for two days now, and they just forgot to deliver it yesterday even though he came here to give me three other boxes.
Box is a little bit larger than the boxes for the other Zelda Nendoroid figures I have. Sorry I didn't think to take a comparison shot and I doubt many would care to see it anyways.

Click to expand...

OMG, so many pieces!

Click to expand...

I posed him on how I imagine I would look while I played the game.
"Okay... where was I going? Dammit! What was I doing before that happened? Oh well, I'll just go check this area out finally..."

Click to expand...

Here they all are on top of my new shelves (oh dude, I thought Skull Kid was flipping me off for a second!). I tend to hate horses in games and BotW was no exception, but I still put him up there because I didn't want Link to be alone (man, Princess Zelda BotW Nendo would be pretty sweet too, Good Smile!)

Click to expand...

Here are the shelves I got. They're mostly identical to the ones I already had, but stupid dude whoever put the wrong piece in the box and sent double one and zero of another so now there's a "blank" strip" on the back of one of the rows. I can live with it, though...

Click to expand...

I plan on moving most of my games onto the right one and filling the left one with mostly movies. I need to move that guitar first, though so I can move them together before it gets too filled and heavy... Eh, maybe I'll just leave it there and forget about it. Who cares?

My local gaming store in Germany had this little import baby regular in Stock. Even with the English cover.

Cool, hardcore collector thing, the game was wrapped up in foil, like normall but the English cover was around the wrapped up game also wrapped up with the game for a second time with shows it really is a limited thing and not standard.
Great to have it now physical, even if it costed 60&#8364;.


Oh and this too, one more for the Amiibo collection:

I finally managed to find a copy of Gravity Rush 2 for (just over)£20 and went for it, seeing as the price doesn't seem to want to drop on this one. Alongside that, Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition, recently reduced to an impulse-buy price from GAME:

I've been needing to get hold of a copy of Star Trek: Beyond, and the SteelBook collection of the three new films provided a perfect way to do that:

Finally, here's the latest issue of GamesTM:

I just beat Dragon Warrior for the NES a few days ago, now I want to play them all (well, all of the main RPG games, and DQBuilders too. The demo was fun). I'm already a few hours into VII. I just need to get 2, 3, and 6 now.

Click to expand...

Got some more dorky NES shit.

Click to expand...

I made sure to get a clear cart of Gimmick especially because of the label so it's obvious it's a repro. I don't know why I didn't think of this, but it was a nice surprise that I didn't have to open it to see what the PCB was. I just wanted to see if he was using one of those Infinite NES Lives boards and not sacrificing a game (Batman Return of Joker) to make it.

Ordered an NWC repro because... why not? I only scored like... 360K though. That's like... Kuririn-level (maybe even farmer with a gun level).

Click to expand...

Also some manuals too. I like having manuals for games I like especially if they do the thing where they tell backstory in them because they couldn't do that in the games back then.

Oh yeah...
Since I bought MLB The Show 17 with the Junior Griffey jersey steelbook, it just reminded me of how much I wanted this card back when I still collected baseball cards when I was in junior high. Back then though, it was just always 80 dollars. This isn't in the best shape I guess, but it's more than fine for me and for it only cost 31 dollars in an auction.

Click to expand...

I don't know if that number matters or anything, but it can't hurt to be safe I guess. All you can really look up with it are the sub-scores that are already on there.
