Pokepark 2 for my boy - for a game aimed at 7+ its remarkably linear and very patronising in its childishness. Disappointing and annoying to listen to as well.

Otherwise got

2x Ultraman vinyl Kaiju figures

Flipnic (Ps2)- 50p crack converters
a pretty good DC controller - 99p from the same place

I slowed down my buying and focus my collecting on MD stuff - so not much buying any more

Though I do buy stuff to list on Amazon / Ebay to fund collecting - how it was supposed to be.

Normally I post a photo of WOT I BORT, but it's Super Bust-A-Move, and no one wants to have to look at that.

^ :lol:
That's why I've never bought it - luckily I have the sequel which has a cover a million times better, a boring, unimaginative, generic picture of all the characters!

Haven't been around for a while as my PC hasn't been working for a while, but thought it was worth suffering through using the iPhone to type this to show you these gems.

It's taken a few years but I finally own them, and they're near enough mint to boot! Sorry Grizz, I know this may make you a bit jealous. ;)

Although I haven't bought any games or consoles this week, I have expressed interest in an Atari ST (1040STE I think) which a guy at work has, he's retiring tomorrow and I remember he mentioned he had it when I told everyone in a meeting that I have a love of retro computers, so fingers crossed I'm going to be able to get it which will be pretty cool (especially after being outbid in the last 3 seconds on an Atari 65XE auction on eBay earlier).

Last week I picked up a couple of PS2 bits including a Guitar Hero guitar for my daughter :-)

I got Haunting Ground for PS2 the other day.....plays like a freakier version of Clock Tower 3....Not bad at all so far, though! Really liking the trippy/dreamy atmosphere....

We're those the ones up on eBay recently? I found them a bit pricey for my liking! I am tempted by that game gear set he put up though! Just need the £150! Anyway congrats! Hopefully I'll source mine soon :)

Picked up this hardware lot for a good price. The Wondermega was filthy but cleaned up OK and works perfectly. It's Wondermega #3 for me... Have a real soft spot for these guys as it's just an amazing piece of hardware.

Indeed dude. I won't be eating for the next month, but I couldnt risk letting them go as I've been checking daily for the last two years for the two of them. :)

Just need Sonic 2 in 1 boxed now, which is probably gonna take another few years if I'm lucky. :(

Sonic Blast is the only boxed Pal GG Sonic I don't have, apart from the 2 in 1 combo . I've seen a couple on ebay in the last few weeks, and the prices were crazy. I have a boxed American version, I'll stick with that. Can't justify spending £200+ on a cardboard box. :shock:

when i started this sonic collection thing i knew that there would be some expensive and rare games, theres some in every collection! but the sheer expense of the game gear games makes me cringe. its going to be a long time before i get my hands on those :(
