Finds 1696: Thrifting in Sarasota

My trip continued to Sarasota where I stayed a couple of days and started looting like a crazy maniac! I went to a lot of thrift stores and came up with all this stuff. I am happy even though I didn't find anything really crazy rare but it could've been worse. Lots of goodies overall!

Finds 1695: Cyber Sage Loot!

It was a great time visiting a friend at his store. This is Cyber Sage Video Games which is a store full of retro gaming goodies. After looking around for a bit and having a nice chat with an old friend, I ended up buying a bunch of goodies for the collection. I was shocked there was 5200 stuff so I went all for it. I need to dig up my 5200 now to play this stuff. As you can see, I got a little bit of everything. A PS1 game, Blackthorne(finally), and some free goodies from him! He's such a nice guy! I will definitely have to make more trips there.

Finds 1693: Cotton Fantasy is Finally Here!

These games by Strictly Limited Games may take a while to get here but they are totally worth the wait. This is Cotton Fantasy for the Switch and it's a thing of beauty! It even came with a tea cup, that's how wild these extras are. I have a couple of more coming on my way but if they are sending them little by little, that's fine by me. This one will keep me occupied alright.

Finds 1692: Wiiu Pad Offer Up Pick Up

As some of you may have seen in previous posts, I ended up picking up a Wiiu console that just wouldn't turn on. It turned out that it was the power adapter. The problem with that was that it didn't come with a controller pad so I went on Offer Up to look for one and one showed up being sold as is as well. After picking it up and charging it for a bit, I was happy to say that it works perfectly. I have completed the Wiiu console but what's next? I am going to see about modding it! Stay tuned!

Finds 1691: Undercover Raph Super 7

This is a really awesome figure from the Super 7 line up which is bringing the old turtles from playmates into a Super mode never before seen. I'm collecting this series along with the NECA cartoon series. This is undercover Raph and even though it's cool and all, I want to someday see the rest of the turtles in their signature undercover selves with the Super 7 touch. We already got it with NECA turtles so come on Super 7!

Finds 1690: GameStop’s Sale is Quite Good, Check Out my Purchases!

You still gotta give it to GameStop for having their sales and actually being good. I was able to pick up every single game on here between 10-15 bucks each. Not only that, I used my five dollar coupon to lower the price of one of the games even further. These are titles I had my eyes on for a while but was waiting patiently  for a sale. Overall, a really good way to pick up some new games. If you notice though, the sales are only going on through the website with the prices on there. If you go to the store, you will find out that the prices are a lot higher. Be on the look out for more sales!

Finds 1689: Sold as is Wiiu with a Nice Surprise, Tomb Raider for Ngage, and a 500gb Laptop Hard Drive

Here is some really cool loot. The Wiiu was sold as is and it didn’t turned on. The problem ended up being the AC Adapter as when I used my own, it started working. As you can see, there was a little gem inside the console which made what I pay for it that much better. I also somehow found a Tomb Raider game for the Ngage, it came complete so I will probably have to scan the manual and upload it on here. The hard drive I picked up because it looks brand new and since I do a lot of computer repairs, it’ll come in handy sometime. Check out the rest of the testing below for the Wiiu. 

A little surprise! 

Wiiu fully working and it came with some extra games such as Super Mario 3D World and Smash Bros.

Finds 1688: Supreme Warrior and Slam City with Scottie Pippen

I was surprised to find these games while thrifting. I think what I like the most is that they are fully complete. I really think whoever got these didn’t even bother to understand or play them much as they look like they haven’t been touched! All the manuals and inserts are in there including a promotional sticker. That’s just amazing and there was no doubt I was leaving them behind. Wonderful loot!

Finds 1687: Micro Machines, PC Software, and Mac Soft!

Finding software has been quite difficult lately, but I was finally able to score some really interesting pieces. Putting aside the usual PC software, I did found a bunch of Mac Soft branded software for Mac. These were especially made for the Mac computers of the time. Some notables are Unreal Tournament and Quake 2. I think it’s really cool to find these type of softwares as they aren’t as popular or known by many. I also picked up a bunch of others, lots to see below.
