Here are my favorite pick-ups from February 2017! I can't wait for what March brings!

It lights up too!

Went to Seattle for Valentine's Day weekend. Also got these new kicks! The Air Jordan 1 'All Star' 2017.

Got a new passport because I ran out of pages on my old one T_T !

Ahhh. I bought it at a high price. I really loved the Resident Evil 7 experience.

New Crown CWJ-309MJ lever that was co-developed with feedback from TEKKEN pro gamer 'HelpMe' -- this kind of brings back the feel/consistency of Taeyoung Fanta levers. Highly recommended and they fit nicely in standard Sanwa mounting plates (which fits most commercial arcade sticks nowadays).

Nice haul of goodies. Got the 1996 NBA All Star Game Michael Jordan jersey. Snapchat Spectacles for me and the lady friend. Also got some copies of the Yakuza games (1-4) from the recent reprint.

Tried out my new travel backpack... The LexDray Tokyo backpack is amazing! I was able to stash all my necessities (laptop and extra gear) and keep my documents secure/fresh. highly recommended for anyone that travels with a small laptop/macbook.

That's all I got for February 2017! Hoping everyone has an amazing March 2017!

Have a good one, GAF! If you'd like to follow my adventures, please follow me on twitter or instagram.

February 2017 pick-ups featuring my first Saturn pick-ups. And more Vita.

SEGA Saturn games: Konami Antiques MSX Collection, Wizardry Llylgamyn Saga
Expecting a large shipment of (mostly dirt cheap) Saturn games in the near future.

Vita games: Virtua Tennis 4 World Tour Edition, Söldner-X 2 Final Prototype (Asian release), Blazblue Chrono Phantasma, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II, Grand Kingdom, Valkyrie Drive, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;birth 1, Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero Risky Beats Edition, Stranger of Sword City, Aqua Kitty Milk Mine Defender DX, The Swapper, and Curses 'N Chaos

3DS games: Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse, 7th Dragon III Code VFD, LBX Little Battlers Experience, and Monster Hunter Generations
The first two are pretty much sold out almost everywhere now (a mere two months after release, which is insane), so I had to get them early. One of those rare times one hopes the publisher doesn't flood the market with a huge reprint. ;-)

PS game: Final Fantasy VIII

PS3 game: Guilty Gear Xrd - Revelator
No separate German release for this apparently, so all of us Europeans get to enjoy the beautifully ruined cover.

PS4 game: Kromaia Omega

 

[TerryLee81]

Picked it up a few weeks ago.

2014 A5 2.0 TSFI quattro

 

[AmyS]

Joined the PS4 family today!

Congrats! Those are great games to start out with.

On my way home early this morning, I picked up Horizon Zero Dawn and Nioh.

 

[Melchiah]

The nine months ago pre-ordered limited edition of Horizon Zero Dawn is finally here. I was very close to lose my temper, when the cashier gave my copy by mistake to some elderly gentleman before me, and she had to run after him. At that moment, I started to regret about not buying the digital deluxe edition instead.

 

[Barrel Cannon]

Nice looking steelbook

 

[Melchiah]

Nice looking steelbook

It is, and it was the main reason for why I stuck with the physical version. The concept art being included in the digital version made it a very tempting option.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I haven't been this excited for a pick-up in so long.

The Revolutionary Girl Utena hardcover manga set that was just released.

My expectations were sky-high and they were exceeded.

Here's the bonus poster that was included:

(nudity, don't blame me, I warned you)

I see Amazon has a preorder for fulfilment in April but that looks like the paperback. Where did you get yours?

Started this month with Little Armory set.

Where might one purchase these?

[Confusatron]

The calm before the Switch storm...

 

[PflargBlarg]

Nice, I just finished watching the Before trilogy with my wife. They are a real delight.

 

[Boke1879]

Finally got this book shelf put up to house all my things.

some games.

And these gems finally arrived.

I ordered it from Rightstuf. I had no idea stock would sell out that fast for the hardcovers, wow.

http://www.rightstufanime.com/Revolutionary-Girl-Utena-Manga-Box-Set

Hopefully they get some more in.

Horizon and Torment

 

[CaseyTappy]

Package from Japan containing Garegga PS4 beeshop edition , five Namco mini arcades and finally found an arcade Batrider poster to complete my kit .

 

[eXistor]

The book and poster look awesome. You can't really tell from the pic, but the poster has some gold-ish ink that shines. Also the book cover in lenticular.

 

[ArchAngel]

It's knackening!

 

[Agent_4Seven]

My new phone:

Xiaomy Redmi Note 4 Black 32 GB + Router and 64 GB microSDXC card:

 

[eXistor]

And another package dropped in!

 

[Alastor]

It's been 18 years... Hope it's good! Here's the steelbook besides my self-made cover for the first one.

 

[StrangeRoboMemory]

eXistor and ArchAngel, did you both randomly pick up that Psycho Somatic Generation CD as well as the NES book? Was the CD a backer reward or something? Just curious.

 

[illusionary]

It is, and it was the main reason for why I stuck with the physical version. The concept art being included in the digital version made it a very tempting option.

Yeah, ditto. I can't decide whether I prefer Amazon UK's "exclusive" offering, though... which I might end up buying separately, if it can be found for around £5 or so at some point.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LTI98I6/

I'll probably get my copy posted up as part of a nice big post when my Switch arrives - though my Zelda amiibo set are here as of today!

 

[hugoboss78]

What day is today? NINTENDAY!!!1

It has begun...

I'm trying to hold off until Nintendo starts selling bundle packages. But seeing everyone's post will test my will power, lol.

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

 

[RoryDropkick]

I...I think I'm good on pickups this month. A friend of mine was clearing out on some things and he called me first, knowing I've been wanting an MSX for years and years. I already have Konami MSX Classics on Saturn so this is just as good. I got everything for $250. Not bad at all.

I think it's a really good price actually. The MFR cart alone sells for $100+.

Congrats on your purchase! This is better than Konami Antiques MSX Collection on Saturn, btw. Because quite a number of good games were left out of that collection. ;-)

 

[eXistor]

Yeah it was a Kickstarter bonus.

 

[nan0]

Gave in and bought a PS4 Pro

 

[Yazuka]

Picked up my Switch at the midnight launch. Woho.

 

[WolfRathmA]

 

[kinezu]

My most important pickup in the last month

 

[michalmarek77]

Horizon!

 

[Melchiah]

That looks pretty good as well, but I personally prefer the white steelbook's cleaner look.

 

[Spiritwalker]

Gonna be a sweet weekend

 

[Zalman]

Let's go bois

 

[DISSESHOWEDO]

My most important pickup in the last month

Nice! The box is gorgeous!

OP could not resist and bought the two editions.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Today's shopping.

And here is the 'You Came To The Wrong Neighbourhood Motherfucker' version.

 

[BulletSmoke]

As with tradition with this thread: Day one Nintendo Switch w/ extra joy cons and charging grip.

Life-size Hasbro Iron Man Helmet. Going to wear this at conventions and Halloween parties The eyes even light up.

And to "switch" it up. My biggest personal pick up to date, a Audi TT Coupe in white. Been driving the family car for years and now I finally have a car of my own.

 

[InsaneFandom]

Got my second-ever Titan figure today. I only found out these existed last year, let alone had a Dragon Age collection. I think they're really awesome (well, some of them are kinda ugly but cute) & plan to eventually get all the DA characters. Don't think I'll bother chasing down variants though

I was half expecting to get trolled by the universe and open it only to find it's the same as the one I already have (Anders) lol. I'm very happy with it, Morrigan's awesome.
Also appreciated the box design & branded inner packaging, very nice touch.

NeoGAF MARCH 2017 Pick-Up Post! Show Us Your Amiibo Goods + Switch (REAL PICS of Breath of The Wild ONLY)!

Seeing all these Zelda pics makes my wait so much more harder

 

[beatdowniidx]

That MSX looks super clean! Where did you pick it up, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[eXistor]

Goodbye money, hello Zelda!

Also 3 surprise free NES games. Always fun to get free stuff.

 

[oblo]

My new Nintendo home console!

The reality of having a gaming fiancée and only one TV:

Thanks for this Nintendo.

/edit:

Ok just downloaded this because getting only one launch game just isn't me, in tabletop mode, DL speed seemed decent enough. Pic was shared through FB on Switch and then hosted elsewhere, so in my mind it counts as an "actual picture". ;-)

 

[vatstep]

 

[Ultimadrago]

Switch for everyone!

 

[hongcha]

I see Amazon has a preorder for fulfilment in April but that looks like the paperback. Where did you get yours?

The Amazon listing is a typo. There is no paperback version. If you look at the text in the listing, it says "The classic manga returns in a deluxe box set! Hardcover editions of Revolutionary Girl Utena and The Adolescence of Utena are included in this two-volume collectors’ set with exclusive color pages and poster."
