Recent Buys: Episode 32 - Long Overdue

I haven't done one of these in a while and I feel like with all that stuff I've bought this past two months and didn't make a video / post on that this is long over due.

I'm not going to count the purchases I've made since the last Recent Buys but instead I'll talk about the things that I got in the last week. First off would be Dark Souls II for the PS3. I was craving for a new game and since Will had a spare R1 copy, I took it off his hands for a cheaper price than getting off the stores.

Next up would be some PSN cards. Initially bought the $50 card to renew my PS+ subscription but then I found out about the flash sale that happened this past weekend so I also got a $10 card and bought a bunch of stuff from the sale. Off the top of my head I got Crash Bandicoot 1 to 3, RetroCity Rampage, Urban Trial Freestyle, Super Stardust HD, a bunch of Telltale games, them being Sam & Max 9, Tales from Monkey Island, Jurassic Park and Back to the Future. I also got a few other things that I can't seem to remember and I'm too lazy to boot up my PS3 to check.

Lastly, more of an impulse buy if anything. Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes for the PS3. Been wanting to own a Sengoku Basara game in HD but I don't want to shell out more than 2000php on a Sengoku Basara game that's in Japanese. Samurai Heroes, from what I can tell, is the exact same game as the one I played on the Wii but playing on a gamepad is much better than the flailing mess that was the Wiimote nunchuck controls. The reason I call this an impulse buy is because I went to Greenhills looking for some figurines since the shops posted their monthly arrivals on Facebook but when i got there I was told that the particular figure that I was planning to get was pulled back for some reason and the other figure that I was planning to get from another shop was already sold out. So I went around seeing if I could find anything else that I could get so the trip wouldn't be a waste. Lo and behold, Sengoku Basara for 600php. I almost also got Alpha Protocol that was going for 500php but I remembered that a convention (Ozine) is happening this weekend at SMX and I should save some money for that.

And that's it for this episode of Recent Buys. Sorry if this little series isn't consistent as to what type it'll be (either a written post, video, or just an image on our Facebook page). Anyways, until next time!

Recent Buys: Episode 30 - The Last One for 2013

The 8th Christmas Toys & Collectibles Fair (or in short, ToyFair) happened at SM Megamall this past weekend and with me being me, I wasn't able to resist getting a few things.

First off, let's start with the bigger purchase. I wasn't able to find the D-Arts Elizabeth at the ToyFair itself but ended up find her at the Greenhills branch of GreatToysOnline.Com. This is based on her appearance from the fighting game Persona 4 Arena / Persona 4 The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena. The hunt for this figure was the main reason I went to the ToyFair but since I didn't find her there, I ended up getting these instead.

Speaking of hunt, Revoltech Philippines was selling blind bags for 1250php a bag. Each bag comes with 1 random Revoltech figure, a Revoltech Philippines bag tag, a ballpen, a promo card for 20% off your next purchase at the Arigatoys, and a poster from Revoltech Philippines. I got the Revoltech Hunter (#133) wearing the Zinogre armor from Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. This was actually the figure that I was hoping to get since I thought it looked cool when I saw it displayed in shops.

I went back to the ToyFair on day 3 and decided to get another Revoltech Philippines blind bag. Lo and behold, I ended up getting the Zinogre (#135) itself to match the Hunter. Though the figure itself doesn't really interest me, what are the odds that I'd get two figures related to each other that way?

Lastly, I passed by the Keybie Cafe booth specifically to look for the Chrono Cross keybie but I also ended up getting keybies of the 3 Wayfinders from Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, and keybie minis of the black and white mage from various Final Fantasy games.

Recent Buys: Episode 29 - The Big Haul

A new episode of Recent Buys showing off the things I've accumulated in the past month. I bought a lot of stuff. Stuff that is not related to the next gen consoles. Don't judge me. I like action figures.

A bit late with this video and I got only two games to show off. Both of which have the number five in their titles.
