Unicron here is missing half of his chest plate and his accessories and I cannot figure out how to transform him into planet for but $0.50 isn't bad for a toy that sells for well over $100.00.

After stupidly letting my copy go years ago, I have a complete Section Z again. Previous rental, but in good shape once I removed some stickers from the cart. Only the number on the book remains.

But most importantly, the rare map.

Only certain copies had this and I hadn't even seen another map in person since my copy years ago. After a lot of searching I'd found a scan online, but most people don't even know it existed it seems. This map is pristine and was obviously left in the box and put into storage while the cart and book were out for rental. One more personal grail to check off that I've been hunting for 6 or 7 years. :mrgreen:

Aside from the fact that mine is a silvery metallic alloy, I've got the same exact stick for my Dreamcast! Those are some nice sticks! I've always loved the clicks when you move the stick - it's the little touches like that! Great find!

I have that same Shadowblade arcade stick. It works alright for shmups and classic side-scrolling arcade games. But it really sucks for fighting games like Street Fighter. The joystick doesn't register a lot of the moves very well (like the hadoken) and sometimes when you tap multiple buttons like the X and O quickly in succession it doesn't always register either. :( Such a shame, too. Because the build quality is excellent

It's been about a month since I last paid a visit to the thrift store ... glad I decided to go to a couple nearby today :P

CIB Viewtiful Joe $3 (50% off everything except red tag), Eternal Darkness $4, Luigi's Mansion case .65¢
(some jackass got a five-finger discount, instead of paying $5 for a complete copy :evil: ), and a factory sealed Frogger $3.

I was just playing Viewtiful Joe for the first time the other night. Definitely an impressive-looking game that is a lot of fun! :D

Got just cause 2 (Ps3) used at gamestop for $17, because the manual cover cane off where the staples meet. All I got to do is re staple it :D also this was my 150th game as well as my first M rated game I bought. The cashier looked at my permit and said "dang, you barely made it" since I turned 17 in November :lol:
