Yeah, shame they couldn't honour their sale, really pissed off alot of customers.
I just bought Lode Runner 3D CIB (N64, $45, excellent condition), Xenoblade Chronicles X Limited Edition (Wii U $100) and Shovel Knight physical edition (Wii U $40) and the Shovel Knight Amiibo ($24). I don't think I'll get anything for Xmas, can't complain.

Damn, what a great pickup!
I remember playing this with its "Ultra 64" screen being mega excited for the Ultra 64 (Nintendo 64), it was not until years later I found out it was never really running on the same hardware at all.

It's actually an addictive game - I'm going to have some work done to it though: Find a decent spray painter in Brisbane to do the dashboard in red. New gear knob (sourced already) New repro decals done for the sides Once I've done this I'll post before and after shots

Happy New Year everybody, hope this year is even better than last year!
Nice Allsport! That is an absolute bargain, for that price I would've grabbed it too.
I just bought Virtual Pool 64 for the N64 (obviously) cib in mint condition for 50 NZ$. My mother arrives in 2 weeks so both that & Vigilante 8 will be in my hot little hands soon enough, much to the annoyance of my mother. She says I'm using her to get my games across the international border for a drug mule, only instead of drugs its games. I guess she has a point.

Well here's my latest purchases including the games my mother brought over from across the Tasman. I never had the money to put down on Xenoblade X so I was expecting to miss out on the Limited Edition as all pre orders were sold out across Australia and that was pretty much the only way to secure it. I tried everywhere, even ebay (selling for $150 minimum), rung every EB in my area, they checked all their stores mationwide only to be told it was sold out everywhere, I'd given up and went to my local JB (who I also rung and was told sorry, sold out), bought the standard edition and thought i'd just ask the lady at the counter as one last effort, she told me; "sorry, we sold all our stock", when another sales guy said "hang on, i'm sure someone never picked up their copy!" I waited, and waited, and then to my suprise comes back with a copy of the Limited Edition!!!!!!!! Super stoked, I nearly did a happy dance right there! I also bought/downloaded Slender: The Arrival a couple of weeks ago, got it for $9 something on sale, also put down some money on a pre order for Zelda Twilight Princess HD Limited Edition, there's no way I'm missing out on that!

Back again. Here's my gaming related purchases over the last month. Connect 4 was normally $49, got it for $29 on sale, still sealed unopened! Pretty happy as the normal version sells for the same price! Grabbed Sonic for my daughters and my own curiosity for $29 at Big W. The rest cost me money. I also bought NBA Jam 2000, CIB for the N64 in excellent condition for $30 Australian off Trademe in NZ. It will have to wait until I go there in June, no doubt there will be more joining it before then. EDIT: Also downloaded Oddworld New 'n Tasty on my Wii U, loved the original and can't wait to get back into it again. Also downloaded Chariot on my Wii U, looking forward to playing this co-op game with my wife, should create some new arguments.

Back yet again. This time I priced match Big W at EB to get this for $68. Also got these of Trademe in NZ for $70 NZ including postage. Just got to pick them up when I go there in June. Super happy. Wasn't that nice of my mother to take a pic for me all the way over there in NZ.
