I'm assuming this is the NA version of the Megazord with the different boxart?
Good god, how do you have the time for all those games!? Wow.
Have you modded your SNES Classic to add more games? I have 73 on mine.
Anyways, some stuff from the last 2ish weeks (the amiami box with gundam stuff took forever to arrive):
- HG 1/144 Vidar and Barbatos Lupus from Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans
- Robot Damashii Barbatos (50% off)
- IBO velcro patches
Briefly say that I ended up hating S2 of IBO. It was basically Rocky V. I hate Rocky V. But I really like the Vidar and Barbatos Lupus design.
- AOT music box (about 10ish secs of the first opening, but sounds pretty good)
- Replacement white shells and used joy-con controllers from ebay
Been having a growing appreciation of the Super Famicom design and when I saw this mod, I had to try it out myself. Took like 5 hrs to do, but I think it looks fantastic.

Yeah. I was hoping to get the JP SoC boxart, or rather, that the US MMPR branding boxart was just a slipcover like the SoC Voltron, but no dice. Oh well, it's the contents of the box that matters most, right?

Who has time to play them?
Seriously, though, most of my gaming happens during my commute to and from work, which makes my Vita and Switch my most played platforms these days...

Haven't modded it yet, just been lazy. Though having seen that you can put in CPS2 and CPS3 games on it is a BIG selling point to hacking it for me; I was originally going to buy and setup a Raspberry Pi box for CPS2/CPS3, but seems like I can save myself the trouble of that.
Though that ALSO means that I will now have to design/build a dedicated dual arcade stick set for my SNES Classic... :P

That looks awesome. I've always loved the SFC look myself too, in particular the colored buttons. I just might have to do something like that myself. How much did the replacement shell kit run you?

$30. A little more than I was expecting, but not too bad. And the used joy-cons cost me $60, so in total I got a custom set of joy-cons at cost. Though in hindsight, I was being too cautious in getting a second set, it's not really that bad or scary.

Nice.
I might look into doing something similar. Or different. I have some ideas for additional mods, but for one of them, I'll definitely need another joy-con.
How's the plastic quality, though? Not entirely in the same vein, but I've bought replacement cases for cellphones back in the day, the plastic quality has always been sub-par when compared to the original material...

It feels the same, but sorta hard to tell because for whatever reason Nintendo decided to spray a finish on top of the plastic (that's the case for my gray ones and I assume it's the same for all others). I realized this from looking at my grey joy-cons after playing too much BotW.
So, what you are feeling is the matte paint on the joy-cons. And unfortunately I got some stray particles stuck on the paint on the left joy-con.

Got it used on amazon:
- Switch Pro controller (bought it just to no wear down the joy-cons. hell of a controller. really want to play doom or some sort of shooter with it.)
Still waiting for Mario that just shipped on the 3rd (yesterday) from Amazon. Barring preorders, never buying games from Amazon again. Way too long of a wait.

Re: Post your hauls
Got an HG 00 Gundam a few days ago along with some paints and hobby supply restock.
Fun fact: The HG 00 Gundam's one of the first Gunpla kits I ever built I've had an idea for a custom swimming in my head lately and I've had this itch to build it again.
