Today was a good day.

Pretty!

Today was a good day.

Seconded. That's a pretty cool mug.

[Mathius]

Those mugs are pretty steep nowadays. Yay eBay!

[TR0N]

TFIV wasn't cheap,but for some reason the japanese version has jumped in price while the u.s version is cheaper.

[jtucci31]

Damn, I knew that thing disappeared on eBay. I went to search for it the other day an it was gone. Nice though! You better enjoy a good ole cup o joe!

Got in Cho Aniki and Ai-cho Aniki.....  I feel.....different now having played them..  The music itself is kinda disturbing, in a strange way. 

I played through Cho Aniki last year and actually enjoyed it.  But yes, I agree that the music is rather odd.  I plan to play through Ai Cho Aniki sometime this year.  Braces self.

[Bardoly]

Get that DVD now while you can. From what I have seen it is extremely cool!

http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/japandvd/japandvd.htm

I checked it out, and it looks like something that I'd enjoy, but the price...    40 pounds!  That's like $67 for a video!

Lol, nice catch!  I would shop at Ys R Us everyday as long as Feena was there.

I love those williams system 11 games. f14 is a lot of fun, post some pics of your actual game when you get it all situated!

[FiftyQuid]

Picked it up tonight.  Here it is in the garage.  I have a buddy coming over tomorrow to help me bring it into the basement.

This week's import haul: (and a whole lotta other mess!)

Good news: Got my Neo Geo CD way faster than I expected!   
Bad news: It doesn't work. 
The disk won't read or spin... at least not very much. (See this video: http://instagram.com/p/oGohb-HAGv/)
If anyone has any suggestions, throw 'em at me.
Here's everything else I got:
Neo Geo CDs
King of Fighters '94
King of Fighters '95
The Way of the Blade (That's the Japansese "Last Blade" right?)
Garou Densetsu 3
Shin Samurai Spirits
Famicom
Pinball
Macross
Itadaki Street

[synbiosfan]

The Way of the Blade (That's the Japansese "Last Blade" right?)

Yes and nice haul!

The NGCD is dirt easy to region mod too! Even I was able to do it!

Pop it open and take a look at the lid door switch. It is a pretty fragile part and may be broken. If so you can either replace it or just solder a connection of its solder joints to make it register as permanently closed.

Track #8: The Brazilian... masterful! Love the Invisible Touch album!

[jeffhlewis]

Nice XPC-4...have noticed the prices seeming to go down a tad on those stateside due to currency rates...it's the last piece of the puzzle I need for my X68000 setup.

Oh yeah, that's in the shot too! I actually got that years and years ago and was testing it in that NG:CD to see if it made any difference. I think "Domino" is my fave from it.

Yea Domino is great as well.. the best two tracks on the album! I grew up listening to that album in the late 80's as a young child, glad my parents raised me on good music!

[NessFreaK]

Decent local find today... $25

Gotta bag 'em all! 

These are Clearbags CD case size BD3.  They are "Protective Closure", which means that the sticky tape is on the bag, not the flap, so the CD case doesn't stick to the flap when inserting or removing it.

I also picked up some jewel case box protectors from videogameboxprotectors.com.

[Opethian]

100 for $6.60 not bad

[xcrement5x]

Dragon Force Prima Strategy Guide

I've been meaning to pick up a copy of this for awhile to go with my Working Designs stuff.  Why they didn't release a hint guide for this game themselves is beyond me.  Maybe now I will finally finish up the game too!

Thanks!  My turbob collection took a small hit, but it's nothing that I can't recover from.  Time to start tinkering with my new toy. 

[Ninja16608]

Jealous, of all the arcade machines I have, I have yet to get a pinball machine and always wanted one. Nice looking set up man :-)

[ToyMachine78]

That is awesome! I want a KISS pinball machine
