Maybe they get more difficult and exciting farther into the games but I never got far enough into them to find out.

I have a few of the Lego games, mostly the Star Wars ones for PS2, mainly I grabbed those 2 because they were cheap-ish anyways (+30% off) and I am a fan of Indiana Jones as well, but also because I hadn't gotten any actual DS games for the DS I got a few months back (but have tons of GBA games anyhow) - the thrift shop I went to also had a DS-lite for cheap, but no charger so there was no way to tell if it was working...with my 30% off I was tempted tho...

I was also a little surprised no one had snagged the Han Solo in Carbonite figure, it tends to be a little harder to get than most of the other Han Solo ones. (Boba Fett seems to be the 'holy grail' for SW figs :p) and I hadn't bothered to get many of the Episode I figs before, but now after 18 years, and with the new movies coming out, the newer trilogy seems to have grown on me a little bit.

Finding all these French-language Asterix books lately makes me wish I had kept up my high-school french, I still am able to vaguely follow what I am reading, but not really enough...

Just a few "toys" this week...

Borne 3-Speed Portable Vintage Turntable (TB-401-BK) (33/45/78rpm, built-in Stereo speakers, Aux-line in (mp3/phone etc), RCA Stereo out, headphone out, suitcase style) (super cheap sale price too)

Hot Wheels Star Wars ships

Tantive IV (Mattel, 2015)
X-Wing Fighter - Red Five (Mattel, 2014)
"Rogue One" Imperial AT-ACT Cargo Walker Mattel, 2016)

I keep waiting for you to post pictures of your new house, because you must be running out of space for all the stuff you keep finding. :)

Fortunately, the Star Wars toys don't take up that much space...

A few weeks ago I pulled everything out of my store-room and consolidated boxes and got rid of a few things (mostly old boxes - about 13-14 of them...) and managed to re-coup about 20-25% of the room. (took 3 days :p)

that also had the side benefit of managing to get out a few items I had been wanting to use...particularly an EMACS SCSI HD Bay which I had been meaning to use with my Mac Classic (and had forgotten that it had a 1.2GB SCSI drive in it), as well as a couple items I had forgotten I had...a 12-cart Atari/Coleco cartridge organizer, and a Dungeon Master Sound Adapter (parallel port w/ 'atari' type joystick port)

Attachment 126105

Got a 1541 drive with the xum adapter from here; having lots of fun with Vice - really adds something to the whole emulation process. Having the emulator is tons more convenient but actually coupling it with real hardware is surprisingly fun.

Saying that I also managed to acquire a c64c in near mint condition from the other bay too this week so looking forward to setting that up :)

A bunch of video monitors :P

and now it's 'Games' day :)

had a few extra $$$s (plus early October is GST/Carbon Tax Rebate time, so I guess I can consider that spent already :lol:), and there were a few things I wanted to catch up on, plus a few games I have been meaning to get...

Ghostbusters II: The Board Game (Cryptozoic, 2017) (this one was on a pretty good sale price, and has 60 figures from the 2nd movie, ie: the Scoleri Bros., Vigo, Janosz, as well as large (100mm) Statue of Liberty & Wash. Square Ghost)

Age of Conan: The Strategy Board Game (FFG, 2008 ) (Wars in Hyboria, 170 figures...been meaning to grab this for a while, as it's been out of print, though a kickstarter is apparently bringing it back)
Age of Conan: Adventures in Hyboria expansion (Ares, 2016) (25 more figs for AoC + other additions)

Star Wars Rebellion: Rise of the Empire expansion (FFG, 2017) (additional content for Rebellion, particularly dealing with the Rogue One storyline - with an additional 36 figs)
Star Wars X-Wing C-ROC Cruiser (+ M3-A Interceptor) (FFG, 2017) (nice big cruiser for 'Fringe'/Scum and Villainy fleets)

Attachment 126627

A couple things on the radar for later this year/early next year for me are Fallout and Twilight Imperium IV, additionally some new ship for X-Wing (Alpha-class Star Wing, Resistance Bomber, M12-L Kimogila Fighter, Phantom II, TIE Silencer) as well as another expansion for Imperial Assault, Heart of the Empire (battles on Coruscant) plus 3 new figs, Emperor Palpatine, Darth Maul and Ahsoka Tano.

and finally...XTC on BluRay day.:D

Drums & Wires (1979), Skylarking (1986) and Oranges & Lemons (1989) with new Dolby 5.1 remixes (+ stereo remixes), remixed non-album demo tracks and 'behind the scenes' type videos of the band.

plus music videos: Life Begins at the Hop, Making Plans for Nigel, Grass, Dead God, The Mayor of Simpleton (UK,US, and 'Long' versions), King for a Day + "The Road to Oranges & Lemons"

Was looking on craigslist and found a beautiful SGI o2 system R10k CPU 1GB RAM Negative scanner the works. Photo lab was going out of business and had it for 50 bucks. I scooped it right up. Its now currently doing negative scanning duty at my house.

How quick is it at scanning? I've been looking for a solution to my scanning needs and most of the machines are very slow.

The damn cardboard is very stiff and I did some damage opening the box so this is the only picture. It's been sold and I didn't want to damage it further.

Attachment 127681

I have a NIB SNES in box (in a box in storage) that I picked up a few years back for R400 which is / was about $25. Not as good a deal as the SGI for $50 though :-)

Thanks

Just installed my new NVidia 1070 :D
Also means the lounge system now has my older GTX970 :)

Sounds very nice. I have so many negatives to scan I need something fast and of good quality.

and of course it was while I was away in BC for a couple of weeks.....now I must destroy you..:lol:

wish I had been home, few things there I would've loved (particularly a Tandy 1000RLX 80286 PC clone(ish)...)

Unfortunately it's just the box. I grabbed several Tandy machines in the mayhem, but both of the boxes in the photo are without machines. I think you know who got the RLX. I'm going to attempt a trade with him as I picked up some still-wrapped software I know he wants.

The remaining items I've unboxed so far also include:

• 1 Atari Trak-Ball (Boxed)
• 1 Tandy 3200
• 1 External SCSI box with drive
• 1 Fujitsu 4700 series keyboard (NIB)
• 2 Kraft Joysticks
• 1 Apple II Joystick
• 1 Amiga 1011 drive
• 2 Amiga 1010 drives
• 1 Apple 5.25" drive
• 1 Mattel soccer handheld
• 1 Windows NT Workstation (Sealed)
• 1 OS/2 2.0 (Sealed)
• 1 DR DOS 6.0
• 1 Dbase III (Sealed)
• 2 DEC Vax Manuals
• 1 Set of Amiga 3000UX system disks.

Here's the first of the lot I've finished with.

Attachment 127855

I remember those Mattel sports handhelds...which was about all we had before the Nintendo Game & Watch ones came out, I actually enjoyed the hockey one, but they look soooo feeble by todays standards...a few LED lights passing another LED light around, trying to get it past another LED light...

I may be out of my depth with what's coming next week. All I can hope for is for there to not be as much rust as would appear to be possible.

I've had this IIe system for a bit now and have been fighting with the seller who put no packing material at all in the box to protect it and never bothered to include the printer listed in the ad. Needless to say every piece was damaged. The keyboard was destroyed and would cost as much as I paid for the whole system to replace. I made the mistake after seeing a very small refund possible from FleaBay of claiming through PayPal. PayPal wants me to ship it back at my own expense with only a partial refund. I'd be out of pocket more than I paid for the system and the seller would have it back to part out for profit. So, I'm keeping it and repairing as much as I can. Doing so is less costly. Too bad, my gamble was worth it as the machine was only dirty and has a few good cards in it. If I can glue all the plastics back together I'll have a usable if ugly system.

I have 4 Apple //e's each with the +64k/80col cards (+1 CP/M (Z80) card) and also 7- 5.25" drives and 3- 3.5" drives (which also work on the Mac, I understand the 5.25" drives *may* fry the controller on the Mac), but I assume you got a few AppleDOS/ProDOS disks there...

I also dug out my external SCSI bay and hooked the 1.2GB drive in it on the Mac i got a few months back....very tempted to get a SCSI Zip100 to make transferring data over to the Mac easier...

I am slowly, but surely running out of space to actually live in. :p

well, it must be about time for another Thrift/Dollar store run, plus a few things I came across while in Duncan, BC (tiny city, but there's 6 thrift stores :lol:), also a few computery (PC) bits and pieces I got from RuneRider on the weekend.

Decided to take advantage of a few 'Black Friday' deals this time around, including a new TV since my Plasma is going on 10 years old (man. Jan. 08 )...still works perfectly tho, but the price on this one was less than 1/2 (46%) the price I paid for the 42" LG...

55" RCA 4K-UHD LED TV (RTU5540B) (4xHDMI / 1xVGA / 1xComponent / 1xAV / 1xRF / 1xUSB2.0) (480i-2160p + built in media player (pics + music only))

Lego Star Wars - Luke's Landspeeder (75173) (threw this in since it was cheap-ish + free shipping with the TV)


also have a few gaming items coming, which I will post later (catching up on Imperial Assault + a few other items)

and there's another Star Wars miniatures game coming out: Star Wars: Legion

They're building multimedia players into everything these days. I already had a stand-alone Multimedia player (Xtreamer), but since updating some gear, the Bluray, TV and Satelite receiver all have media players too! So now there's 4 multimedia players on a single screen.

Just bought my first Amiga related item in 2 years! A Vampire 500 V2+

And I won a mint A500+ on a well known auction site I'm picking up at the weekend (prays for no battery leakage!)

Yeah, that's why I wasn't too worried that it was only pics and music through its built in MP, my LG BluRay player plays anything off of CDR/DVDR/BDR or through its USB port, video, music and pics, I have yet to come across a file it refuses to play/display... (doesn't seem to like exFAT, but is good with NTFS)

@ $368CAD (new, walmart.ca, Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal, $288USD equiv.) it seemed ridiculously cheap for a 55" 4K LED TV...

@fitzsteve
so cool, congrats on your purchases Steve! Seems like back to roots with a new twist (Vampire).

Cheers! I saw the Vampire at Amiga32 so I've been wanting to get one since, when they came into stock at Amigakit I decided to pull the trigger...

Well i didn't think i scored much!
Picked up two A2000's in pretty beat up condition for cheap , One didn't boot up (changed PSU and booted to green screen) Other one boots just fine, thought the keyboard socket is badly corroded due to battery leak.
But then i opened them up and was pleasantly surprised!
If anyone could shed some light on the AX2000 plus, that would be appreciated.Attachment 129240Attachment 129241Attachment 129242Attachment 129243Attachment 129244Attachment 129245

That looks like 2MB of Toshiba RAM on the AX2000 so Im guessing it's a chip-ram expansion board.

EDIT: ok that's the A3000 8372B Agnus so it is a 2mb chip expansion. :cool:

I now have the A2000 I bought last month. I've fully cleaned it up (it had more dirt/dust inside than nearly any machine I've seen) and inspected it. I was in the middle of testing drives, cards etc when a capacitor in the power supply decided to pop. I'll have to put off any testing until I can repair the unit.

It's a very early machine with a Rev. 4 Motherboard. One of the first ones made in West Germany before Dave Haynie got his hands on the design and made it better. It's in very nice condition with the exception of the holes the original owner drilled in first the drive blank and the front panel for the activity light of the PC HDD he installed. I'll have to replace those.

It has a Cherry Keyboard, SupraRam Card and A2088XT Bridge Board with an MFM Drive Controller. It also has what I've come to understand is a very rare SCSI card, the SurpaDrive 2000 with DMA.

Alright, It's games day, amazingly Canada Post is doing weekend delivery...I guess it must be Christmas time again... also a couple of T-shirts I picked up a couple days ago at Sunrise Records (the place that took over most of HMV Canada's stores when they shut down)

and the T-shirts...

Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set cover (Red Box) (I've been seeing these floating around on the net for a lot more than Sunrise was charging...)
Boba Fett / Slave I

Demonstrating that I can no longer be trusted to leave the house without spending money... (It's probably a good thing I am not married)...I went out with the intention of just buying some produce at a local market...which happens to be on the way to my local comic shop (which is now also a new and used games shop as well...) and I pass a large used book store on the way to both...

browsing no longer stays just browsing any more :p (the catch-22 of getting that rent subsidy I suppose...)

so I grabbed...

Battletech - Mercenary's Handbook (FASA, 1987)
Middle Earth Quest - Rescue in Mirkwood (I.C.E., 1985)

SaviorX, if you ever come across an original Star Wars Jawa with the cheap plastic cape I'll give you five bucks for it. :smdevil:

Just finished that project.
This is an Av Mod on the Magnavox Odyssey 1, this is the final look :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RADI73vTj2o

Before that, i posted a bigger video with much more details (if you are interested), but if you familiar with this system, you probably noticed that the net (called Wall in fact...), is too thin. Well it was my fault, i had a big large net at first time, but i found it strange so i tuned my mod differently (in fact it's just a question of resistors...). The precedent video got the right "screen look".

I went to an estate sale in October and picked up a large amount of stuff. I've been slowly sorting through it ever since.

One thing I grabbed was a rather unfortunate looking A1000. It had a 1080, keyboard w/cable, mouse, and Comspec expansion.

It didn't work so I opened it up. The psu was unplugged and not screwed in, so I fixed that. To my surprise it has a DKB Insider I RAM board that appears to have been professionally installed. I powered it on again and it asked for a kickstart disk. The memory shows up in Workbench so I'm guessing the board is good.

I wondered why they original owner wanted the side expansion as well, that's a lot of memory for an A1000. However, upon closer examination this was not an AX1000/AX2000. It's the very rare SA1000 SCSI expansion.

Between this and the SupraDrive 2000 I found in my new A2000 I'm acquiring some very cool stuff these days. Guess I need to take some high quality photos for the BBOAH. :cool:

Looking through the pile of disks from the sale I found the one for this thing!

Got this :-

Attachment 130502

at a local flea market - not supposed to mention price - well it was almost nothing.
256GB SSD - a bit last years model - its only SATA II - and not the highest performing brand .... but my current "main" PC only has SATA II anyway :-)

Got it as faulty - bloke had apparently tried to make it work, but couldn't manage it. Kinda turned my nose up a bit - didn't rate its chances, but thought it'd be something to tinker with on a cold miserable Sunday afternoon. Hooked it up via USB<->SATA - detected but couldn't format it or query it etc .....

30 mins of googling/research later - got a firmware updater - ran that (bit of hoop-jumping involved) - and BINGO !! Could do everything with it - resotored to health :-) :-) :-)
WELL chuffed.

Actually I got it just before Xmas, but only got around to thoroughly checking it out last night. Installed win 7 to it + screeds of updates - and its fine.

I picked these up recently. The Amiga World Premiere issue is shelf-worn but unread and still has all the subscription and other cards inside. I've ordered a display frame for it.
