Some nice acquisitions there!

I've tried on multiple occasions to get into the LEGO video games but I just can't. The animations and cut scenes are amazing but the gameplay is just about solving simple puzzles and collecting bricks, which is a bit boring to me. 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 ) 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...

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.

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 )

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)

 

[FutureVariant]

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

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 ), 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)



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.

 

[SaviorX]

and finally...XTC on BluRay day.

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"

(I already have the Nonsuch BluRay)



(and a week or 2 earlier than expected as they were sent from the UK)

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.

 

[sweetlilmre]

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

Its slow for negatives but the quality is top notch. this was a 40k dollar system back in 2000
