- Sega Naomi 256MB netDIMM board
- CPS-3 main board with Street Fighter 3 2nd Impact
- a roll of arcade tokens
all from a fellow member from CGCC.ca



Whoohooo. More arcade stuff!

Actually, the seller screwed up; I was supposed to get a 3rd Strike CPS-3 set. Gotta mail back the 2nd Impact cart and swap the it for the 3rd Strike with him. Need to hunt down an old SCSI CD-ROM drive. Anyone have one to unload for cheap to me?

The Naomi netDIMM actually doesn't have a PIC chip; gonna get that from someone else, and also have them reburn the BIOS chip to both my Naomi units to an updated version (both of mine are currently the oldest US region BIOS).

I think Beechy and I are the only people who didn't come away from FEZCon with anything.

Oh, not true, I bought some paints at Anime Extreme.

Whoohooooo!
This is really just my THIRD toy-related haul this year.

-Metal Build Destiny Gundam [MISB, from The ToySource]



Back in November, I missed out on the preorder for this when HLJ and Amiami's preorders sold out overnight for it.
I was almost ready to pay the crazy aftermarket prices, but I just got lazy.

Two weeks ago, I missed HLJ and Amiami's preorder for the Metal Build Full Metal Panic ARX-8 Laevatein because the preorders sold out overnight.
DéjÃ* vu.

So I wondered where else I could get the Laevatein. I remembered that TFSource now has a "general import toy" side (ToySource), and lo and behold, they had a preorder for the Laevatein. DONE!

But wait... they still had the Destiny Gundam? And in-stock too? DONE!

And apparently, I snagged the last one, because right after I completed my order, the item was immediately marked as "Out of stock". SCORE!

^Nice. I quite like how metal build handeled Destiny's design. Makes him look vicious.

[ConvoyGTR]

^ Very cool. I lost all impetus for a MB Destiny when I missed out on Amiami's preorder and when they got it in stock and didn't want to pay more elsewhere. Though I was looking at ToySource on and off till it disappeared one day... Now I know why lol.

Anyways, I was there 2 weeks ago at Amiami when alllll those preorders went up, it took forever to get my order in as the site keep on stalling or crashing. Ironically, I was only interested in the SRC GaoFighGar (which didn't have a limit and took days to sell out and is easily found at HLJ now), and not the MB Laevatein or Figuarts Leangle or etc. The really hot items sold out in 30 mins, others overnight, MB Laevatein was of course a really hot item.

Yeah, I love the Metal Build Destiny's design. As an aside, I normally ABSOLUTELY DESPISE the regular design of the Destiny. The MG incarnation of the design is just barely acceptable by my books. But the Metal Build, they really did something. All the angles and edges make it look actually badass, rather than the sad imitation of the Perfect Strike every other incarnation was.

I'm finding it very annoying when these preorders sell out in a matter of minutes. I follow some threads on TFW, and I see plenty of "Oh, preorder for XYZ toy is up on ABC site." 10 minutes later "Oh, preorders sold out."
These are preorders I'm trying for, for god's sake, not sniping eBay auctions!
