Final part of my miniatures order arrived today...

A Star Trek Tactics II HeroClix starter, and a Tactics (I) Booster Case (12 ships)

additionally 2 more Y-Wings for my Star Wars X-Wing game.

and 2 new sets of Chessex dice. (Stealth Speckled & Opaque White)

(really tempted to order a 'pound of dice' just to see what comes)

[DBloke]

...my minis collection is beginning to get out of control...

so i picked up this miniatures case today for (about 40% of) my Star Wars minis.

actually a Warhammer case, but i really liked the look of it.

Picked up a Game Boy and a Game Boy Color yesterday, then another Xbox 360 today. Not quite sure what to do with it, to be honest.

Oh wow nice collection I once had four adventure miniature box sets and a ton of miniatures from West End Games that I used to play there Star Wars Miniature battles game.

i never got into the original minis game, just the newer 2 games, but i do have the original Star Wars RPG game (plus a few of the resource books) from West End and also the Core Rulebook for the WotC d20 game from 2000....

i am mulling over whether or not to get the SW: Edge of the Empire RPG stuff.

i think i might get the Star Wars LCG stuff first..

i am up to 411 of the Star Wars minis from the 2004-2010 game. (the ones i am missing are hugely expensive unfortunately, such as Boba Fett and the AT-ATs etc)

i concentrated more on putting together enough minis to play out scenarios like the Endor Battle (lots of Storm/Scout Troopers, Rebel Commandos, Ewoks, (2) AT-STs) Tatooine (Tuskens, Jawas, Weequay/Klatoonian/Gamorreans, Sandtroopers (no Jabba yet tho)) Hoth (Snowtroopers, Hoth Troopers, Luke & Han on Tauntaun, Snowspeeders (sadly lacking in the heavy gunners and AT-ATs tho) and of course Death Star (tons of Stormtroopers, DS Gunners, Engineers, and every major character (Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, Obi-wan, R2D2, C3PO, Vader))

Yamaha QY10
In my musical endeavors, I seem to continually run into the problem that I get inspiration pretty much any time and place other than when I'm sitting at home with my gear and my computer, so I thought a portable MIDI sequencer might help. The interface on this is underwhelming (though not bad, for its time,) but its pattern-based approach to music sequencing leaves me feeling right at home (even if it could really use a tracker-style editor for the patterns - but you can't do that very well on a one-line display...) The sounds are moderately blah pre-GM PCM stuff, not interesting but usable, and of course since it's MIDI I can run it out to all my good synths and not even bother with the built-in sounds. The one really irritating oversight is the lack of an internal speaker...oh well. We'll see how much this actually helps, but even just as a basic portable sketchpad for musical ideas it should be nice...

@commodorejohn: I really hope you find some use for this one! I've been tinkering with another sequencer aeons ago, the Roland MC-500, and i can tell you it wasn't the most pleasant experience. It didn't have any onboard sound though, and storage was on 3.5" floppies. Screen was 2 lines of characters, but the darn thing was so cruel... It felt like a tracker program, whereas you had to add line after line of notes and such, and is not the way i like writing music. I'd rather have the classic score sheet on screen, or any other means of graphic display.

 

[commodorejohn]

Yeah, we'll see how it goes. I'm much more comfortable working in tracker format than with traditional scores (even when I moved to VSTs instead of MODs, I've been using Jeskola Buzz for the actual writing/arranging,) but the QY10 only kind of works that way. Still, it doesn't seem that bad, and it is nice and portable.

 

[Jazzmarazz]

Have you heard of Little Sound DJ, C=John?
Portable tracker with many save slots, runs on gameboy, has MIDI output when used with an arduino interface. I can't make music at all, I just build the things.

 

[commodorejohn]

I have heard of that, yeah, but A. four channels isn't really enough for me, and B. part of the goal here is to have easy conversion to a MIDI file on the computer, which I can then use to drive my synths.

Couple of days ago I bought this as Micro ATX tower Of course it's new & unused and cost me 3 hours of work

Sorry for blurry photos...
It's ideal for my 386SX/33MHz...
And 3 months ago I bought a coprocessor and I/O controller for this 386...
Now I need PC AT PSU and some HDD... But it's another story.

 

[commodorejohn]

Nifty. How simple is it to adapt an ATX case for an AT board?

 

[Atreus]

@commodorejohn
Seller claims that's an ATX Micro Tower but it's a new & unused AT Mini Tower probably from year 93/94
When You look closer to second photo, You'll see that "PCI slot cradle" has too much slots than 4 in ATX Micro Tower.

A new-old-stock copy of The Brundles (a neat Lemmings clone for the Atari XL/XE systems, which did not get an official port of the game) arrived with me today, all the way from a long-lived Atari dealership in the US. The seal on it suggests that it was exported to there from the UK, back in the day.

It's a really unusual piece for my Lemmings (and Lemmings-related) collection. (I've got all of the versions I want of the official games, already, but this one is an unofficial title, which makes it a bit different.)

 

[commodorejohn]

Cool (Image the disk for posterity!)

Picked up locally, from same seller

The megadrive and playstation was practically free, but the NES was not
Anyway, everything seems to be in very good condition

 

[fitzsteve]

Got an FMV unit for my Philips CDi, now I can watch films in worse quality than I can download them

But of course now I can play FMV capable Games, I have Mad Dog McCree on the and the Peacekeeper Revolver, I'm reliably informed it works on Projectors and even flat screen TV's

Oh and I got an RGB-Scart lead for newly modded Master System II - Thanks ScrappySphinx! :beer:

Awesome picture quality

 

[NinjaRabbit]

Cool (Image the disk for posterity!)

Looking around, it seems that that's been done already. Sadly, it looks like the sold-separately Brundles Editor is currently still lost to time, though.
