Freebies & trade swag, courtesy of some great guys from some dumb old forum...can't remember the name of it...

To those good fellows, I extend my eternal gratitude. I've had much fun with all of these!

JoshTurboTrollX · 08/20/2013, 10:09 AM

Snagged some LD movies a few days ago. There are literally hundreds more, Anyone interested in me shopping for some?

Those three actors on the cover Hell Comes from Frogtown look so enthused.

That's Rowdy Roddy Piper man! I've seen this movie too, and it's ridiculous. If you get a list of LDs definitely post! I'm really only looking for anime ones like PunkCryborg but obviously he's got dibs. ;)

I did finally get my other box of goodies in, there was a couple LDs and nothing really to write home about except this!

2013-08-19 Japan Pickups - Asuka Langley Soryu Figure by xcrement5x, on Flickr

She's keeping me motivated at work right now. And don't worry there are no dollfie pics or AV feet on Mega Drives coming from me.

PS-Bonus points if you can tell who the other figure in the background is supposed to be!

munchiaz · 08/20/2013, 06:50 PM

picked up rayman 1 and 2 for ps1 for about $6 total, and the FF X-2 strat guide for $2 bucks from my local goodwill. They also had a Sony PVM monitor from 1998 there for $1, but it wouldn't power on

Mishran · 08/20/2013, 07:14 PM

Josh! I want that Ninja Turtles LD pronto!

Never knew they released them on laserdisc. Awesome pickups on the LD regardless.

As for me, I received my Hudson '93 music CD from ninjacastle on ebay last night. Not bad, but not overly impressive either. Great as a collectors item perhaps, but not for listening to.

I didn't know he was in that movie. I met him last year. He's the nicest guy.

whisper2053 · 08/20/2013, 07:22 PM

Lots of stuff picked up yesterday...everything that came in during the last two weeks while I was back in the states:

First up, old school goodness MVS gets...

/rjoq.jpg

Next: /v3sa.jpg

The KoF '94 cart came with the little mini-marquee, which was cool, and the final decals for my CMVS came in.

And lastly: /fokq.jpg

A couple of Genny 6-button pads, a kickass 3-way scart switchbox, scart cable for my X'eye, some saturn/DC/PSP games, Dark Wizard for Sega CD, Wizardry V for pce, and a home-made backup RAM cart pcb for the X'eye.

A grand day

Edit: Finally got the decals squared away on the CMVS. Finished product:

Duly noted. That site and its forums did come up in a few searches I was doing on AC/RF cord compatibility. It was quite helpful in that sense, but I've been to forums before that gradually devolve into chaos like that.

Added bonus: the price stickers come off as easy as a sticky note. No residue!

Just got these guys cheap off Craigslist. Both games are OK, extremely nostalgic. The boxing game has wonky controls but kept me playing.

I waited in line at a hotel for 30 minutes one time and that guy, Lloyd Kaufman, was in front of me. We ended up having a pretty good conversation, he was surprisingly insightful about movies and we talked about how his wife was the head of the NY Film Commission.

Anyway, you need to check out the original Class of Nuke Em High if you like Toxic Avenger. It is one of my favorite teen movies of all time... cause "you gotta stop crammin, and you gotta start rammin'"

Is this a good/fun baseball game? I've never played it. Not that I remember, anyway.

VestCunt · 08/24/2013, 09:06 PM

It's a solid game and I've been looking for a manual. It's also probably worth $200 sealed.

Lol yea, at least $200. I haven't been watching 32X stuff recently but that game was a solid hundo at least in CIB condition the last time I saw one. He's got a lot of sealed 32X goodies, but it looks like most of them have crazy eyes prices.

Also got two PS1 games for $.75 cents each (not shown in picture below):
