Where did you get the picture and the frame ? Was it expensive ?

I am not sure where to find this stuff.

Nick Suttner's book on Shadow of the Colossus is great. I've been a fan of his since the 1UP days and the 1UP FM podcast.
I also obtained the original bag that stores had to carry the Shadow of the Colossus PS2 collector's edition in Japan.
I've been hunting for that weird peice of memorabilia for a long time.

There was a little-known official revision of the GBA SP with a backlit screen, called the AGS-101. Example, compared to the standard frontlit model:



These two GBAs I now own have screens taken from AGS 101s. The result is basically this, which I consider to be the best way to play GBA games, hands down:

In other news...the guy who did my backlit DMG kindly took my request for a backlit pocket to replace the one that got stolen. Picked it up yesterday, it's glorious:

and here's the entire set so far of backlit modded consoles...GBC not pictured, as there's no backlit mod available for that yet sadly (although experiments are happening apparently). Also, it's probably obvious, but each console has those sweet scratchproof glass lens replacements:

Is the dude doing those mods up for hire?

Those handhelds look DOPE!
 
Some new stuff for April

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Asia edition finally arrived from Play-Asia! Can't wait to try out soft engine :D

Never got into Jordan stuff when I was younger (mainly because I couldn't afford it). But now that I have some disosible income, I thought it would be nice to make the plunge. Hoodie, exercise top/bottom, and Jordan 9's low. Personally, I like the look of the 9 as it doesn't look too flashy for everyday wear.

Lastly, a Supreme Mesh Varsity Jacket. First ever Supreme purchase and I think I may be hooked. The stuff is pricey though damn.

Burnout Paradise

QW7aJAw.jpg


I had a copy but sold it years ago. Now it's finally back in the collection.

Best arcade Racer of all time. First game I can remember that kept realising huge dlc for free for about a year or two. By the end they even added bikes.

Pretty expensive month for me

Intel NUC

Last 3 volumes that I needed. My collection is now complete so far

From 8gb to 64gb. Feels good

Ratchet & Clank is fantastic

Mousepad. sometimes I like the cushion sometimes I don't

Hard cover copy of one of my favorite books, The Alchemist

Star Wars Episode 7 for 0 bones so why not?

Locitech MX Master, this thing is dope

Housemarque the legendz

Rockstar the legendz x2
 
Aqua Blue Vita.
Shin Dynasty Warriors Gundam
32GB Memory card.

All for less than the price of a new "starter kit" vita. Though I did want an orange one, this was cheaper and in pristine condition for a used unit.

Currently downloading my ps1 collections and digimon :)

Added a nice and varied trio to my Blu-Ray collection. Love the bonus features for TFA and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed The Good Dinosaur.

Have continued to rebuild the Xbox 360 collection I sold when I traded the console in towards my PS4. Only buying stuff that's backwards compatible at the moment. Got this lot to add to Halo Reach, Wars and Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for £17 in CEX.

My Infinity collection continues to grow. I now have the entire Inside Out gang...

20160428_173153.jpg


...and this guy! Might be my favourite figure of the 40+ I think I own at this point.

20160428_173221.jpg


Final pickup for the months is a US copy of Ratchet and Clank. Bought on eBay, still wrapped and for £23 including postage - bargain!

Next month it'll be Uncharted 4, still debating which version to get...

Decided to splurge a little bit once word out that DS carts were going out of production. Still don't have a DS/3DS yet, but I thought now would be a good time as any to pick up some of these titles I've had my eye on while they're still easy to find.

DSCN1692_zpsqnnrnyzj.jpg

Got this from the Best Buy sale.

Found this for a good price on eBay. Slowly working towards completing the whole set.

These two GBAs I now own have screens taken from AGS 101s. The result is basically this, which I consider to be the best way to play GBA games, hands down:

May I ask where you got your GBAs and other backlit Game Boys from? I'm especially interested if they have real AGS-101 screens and not the clones that people were circulating a while ago.

I have a Rose Colored Gaming Gunmental backlit GBA and I'm really unhappy with the finish on the casing and some rusting on the EXT port, so I'm looking for something a bit cleaner!
 

Rich!

Damn, RCG is a pet hate of mine. Overpriced, not to the standard they pertain to and terrible customer service.

I got my two gbas from a private seller here on GAF who had two seemingly just lying around. They're definitely 101 screens.

The other GB consoles are from a local modder who lives near me, but you really can't go wrong with any seller with a high level of good feedback on eBay.

Here's my gaming haul of April. Some new and old classics. Pretty much finishes off the games I want in my DS library which is a nice feeling.
 
Some stuff from Japan!



And lastly, the grand prize, I finally managed to get my hands on a collector's edition for Final Fantasy Type-0, which is one of the best collector's editions I have ever seen. And it's ****ing huge, man!

gratz! I love how stupidly gorgeous that thing is!

Some of the usual pickups this month:

And for something completely different:

Its a Williams cabinet mostly gutted but the coin mechanism and coin box are still there, plus the monitor transformer. I am trying to identify which game it originally housed, likely it was Defender. My plan was to turn it in to a Mame cabinet but seeing how much is still there, I hope to make it a Robotron cabinet instead.

Thanks... the hunt begins again! I've checked out eBay sellers that say they use authentic Nintendo screens but I'm really not sure if they're genuine or not. I don't doubt that they believe the screens to be genuine but unless they were salvaged from an AGS-101 unit, I'm not so sure.

Got a big Nintendo package from Amazon Japan today. Thumbs up to them for insanely quick delivery and amazing packaging.


Fire Emblem Fates - Original Soundtrack:



Pokémon Red & Green Super Music Collection (features FRLG OST too):



Pokémon Green/Red/Blue/Yellow physical boxes for 3DS:
What's up with this Amazon Japan I'm seeing throughout this page? Do they now import games to US? I'm guessing if they do the shipping is pretty hefty.

Some games I have recently purchased with my favorites being Digimon and Ratchet. The Staw Wars TFA and PlayStation 20th anniversary Steelbooks look fantastic.

While not being able to post actual pictures, this is my biggest investment in quite a while. The costume should be delivered at the end of the year. I plan to join the 501st German garrison, so I can help with charity work. Nothing's better than putting a smile on the face of children and fans of Star Wars. I think it's great to have such an opportunity to make other people happy and actively doing something for a good cause.
 
I wish you best of luck. I completed the collection aeons ago, and to see someone try and get it now is crazy.

Yeah good luck. I think sets 6-8 were a Rightstuf exclusive or something like that. Print run was super limited.

I Remember we only got rental copies at the Anime store I used to work at. I think I am just missing 7-8, but I plan on sending my kids to college instead.

I do happen to have a complete MI laser disk set. New in box. One of these days I will find the scripts and just fan sub them for myself I guess.

Jep.

If I was going the backlit GBA route I'd get a salvaged AGS-101 screen and install it myself.

Anything else is a third party reproduction and I'm not into that.
