As recommended by @Chopemon, this is $10 new on ebay so I went for it
@“Chopemon”#p141018 Just realized this title is way funnier in English because that is literally the series that erased its name.
@"exodus"#p141197 The author of this game is an interesting guy (more interesting than the game, arguably). I can introduce you next TGS, if you want. Surprised you did not go for the PS Vita version.
@“◉◉maru”#p141212 yeah, let‘s do that!
I didn’t go for vita because this was $10 ha ha
@“Chopemon”#p141018 VERMIS! Nice - I got that one on the left recently too! It's so good!
@“Chopemon”#p141018 btw where did you order the physical like a dragon gaiden?
@“exodus”#p141225 that one came from eBay. It looks like English is on all disks so you can grab one from Japan or China. The Japanese cover is in Japanese and there are two Asian covers; Chinese and English. All of them are in English so you can get whichever.
There is a long and uninteresting story about why I bought this particular copy, but someone in the UK had a bunch of them on hand and it arrived next day.
If you get a PS4 version like this one, you need to sign into an Asian account (my Hong Kong account worked) to get the PS5 upgrade.
Hope you like Tokyo Twilight!
Received an order from Gaming Alexandria.
A C64 PSU from Poland and 8Bitdo’s wireless mod kit for PSX controllers (not pictured) also arrived.
I ordered something from Tokyo-based bike shop Blue Lug and it came with this very cute poster/parts catalogue.

I got my first ever skate wax in the mail as my skating has progressed to the point where I am starting to attempt to get into grinds. It came in a little box that looks like candy, which is delightful.

Early christmas present
This is my first ever pink handheld! It’s a nice warm and juicy bubblegum pink like I was hoping.
Apologies for not having a copy of the Game de Hakken!! Tamagotchi (1997) limited edition pink cart on hand for these shots.
@“connrrr”#p141716 B E A U T I F U L ! ! !
Oof, I wish I had held out on getting one of the coloured ones (which didn't exist and hadn't been announced a year ago when I preordered my vanilla one).
>!I wish I didn't feel so salty about Analogue because they make a really nice product (when you can actually secure one).!<
@“Karasu”#p141801 I don't know how true this is but apparently scalpers are having a harder time moving their Pockets from this latest drop, and the pink one took all day to sell out so you could maybe try to really lowball anyone selling a new in box one—even just to mess with them. Then if they bite you could sell your old Pocket or gift it.
Everybody talking about the limited copies of Alan Wake got me to succumb to peer pressure but in a budgetary way. With newer games, gamestop is a lot more likely to give you a complete copy, so I was able to get this for $35, took a gamble, and it was indeed complete. I got a “new” (open with a stupid sticker on it) copy of neo twewy for 10 bucks, no more heroes iii, and not pictured, a $1.99 copy of rainbow six for Xbox one so I could tick over into free shipping lol.

Anyway if you also felt peer pressured into getting physical Alan Wake on ps5, try gamestop.
Here's something - I wanted some game gear cases in order to make my collection stackable. I found this poorly worded auction that had a bunch of cases but also came with a carrying case, 10 games, a TV gear, a super wide gear, etc.
Everything arrived inside the carrying case that had one layer of bubble wrap surrounding it. Can you spot the goofiest thing about this packing job??

@“exodus”#p141980 Nice find, yeah don't put those games back into the cases before packing.
@“Punchmaniacs”#p141990 what a bizarre thing for them to do!!
As part of rebuilding my Saturn collection I decided to not only buy a LOT of stuff, but I also hunted down a few still original sealed games. First one arrived:

I did want to get something brand new for it and this is one I'd be glad to open. That said if anyone actually would play it and wants to have the honour of opening it I'm open to discussion.
I have many many boxes here and to come and if anyone's interested in the rest will gladly share them.
@“exodus”#p141993 I‘m trying to think of a logical reason to send them like this and all I can come up with is maybe they wanted to take up more space so things wouldn’t rattle around as much in shipping, but even that seems silly.
Thanks to steep discounts on the old non-OLED models, I finally got a Steam Deck. I couldn’t justify the full asking price for its limited (for me) use case, but I had always told myself that if the price ever went down to the £300 mark I’d get one. And now it has. So I did.
