It's the new "84" voltron line that they just released.

I have the original 84 voltron but sadly it just wore out and black lions leg and blue lion's connection are broken now.

Ah I had the complete normal-sized set (bought each lion/separately), a mini set that came packaged together, and the castle that opened up and had a bridge of some sort. I will have to find pictures online.

Edit: Here is the castle and here is the mini-set. Man those prices are crazy for complete sets in good condition.

Zotac 1080ti AMP! Edition at msrp. So lucky.

The formed set next to the castle in the last picture is the one I had as a kid.. Poor thing just fell apart after years.

I was amazed to see this at a thrift store and would have beaten myself if I had passed on it. The plexiglass case itself would have cost multiple times over the 25USD I spent on it. Why would you part with such a thing? Pissed off (ex)lover? Dead kid's belongings? I'm not sure but it's a thing of beauty.

@Gingerbread Crumb
I just got it! I was thinking about it but I'm not sure if making money off it to go towards other hobbies (like a 3-axis CNC router) is worth not having it. I think I will have to keep it around a while.

got this

 

[Silterpy]

So bought a couple of games from my local retro game/pawn shop. I bought Kirby's dream land for $10, Sonic the Hedgehog GG for $4, 2 ps2 games for my nephew(ice age 2 and Tetris worlds) $2 each and finally Pokemon leaf green that when I got home found out that it's a fake copy. They swapped the really board for a fake. So I have to go back to the store tomorrow and get my money back

That sucks about Pokemon Green, but cool about the others.

Yeah it does suck but they have another copy of leaf green and 2 copies of Pokemon fire red and I'm bringing my tri wing screw driver to open them tomorrow. And if they are all fake I'll probably get the AR Max they have

I'm surprised they got away with selling a dupe.

They don't even test there games. So I'm not surprised at all. The game basically freezes when you try to save the game so I opened the cart just to check and this is what I found.


Atleast to me it looks fake

Yeaaaaaaah, that's fake, I'd get refund or replacement.

Yeah I kind of figured it was a fake cause at first when I tested it in store it has a save on it right at the beginning of the game and the name was test, but I kind of figured that maybe the store did that to see if it saves. But when I got home I started a new game put my name in and when I went to save the game started to save then it froze for about 10 second(with no sound) then unfroze. So I knew something wasn't right. So I tried it in my retron 5 and it kept coming up as unknown cartridge and I know that when the Retron 5 does that it's a fake game. So I open it up and those chips and that blob of resin confirmed it.

Like I wouldn't mind if I bought it knowing that it was fake but I paid 20 bucks for a real one not a fake one if I wanted a fake one I would have bought one on eBay for $5. Like I've bought a English copy of Mother 3 before on eBay and of course I know that's not a real cart cuz it never officially came out in English and the only way to get it is to get a cartridge of the fan translation.

The easy way to tell at a store without opening it up is just to look near the cart contacts, the nintendo logo on the fakes are made with a real thin font, where as real carts have the regular size font

Welp, got a flat tire yesterday, found out the full size spare had a puncture somewhere, and I needed new tires anyways so...got a new set of tires. Was planning to wait until my fiancee got her tax refund, but eh a couple weeks early works too, I guess.

Car boot season is back as of a few weeks ago

In addition to the usual mountain of books

Just the thumbnail, if you are bored you can click to see all the titles. Did also get another one detailing all sorts of formulas and recipes for everything from explosives to industrial quantities of mayonnaise to cattle worm treatments circa 1940 but it was deemed a cook book and thus prevented from joining my collection of cool books.
and tools and legacy/hard to come fastenings that few are bothered by

I did actually get something gaming related for the first time in quite some time

£5 for a mini mechanical keyboard, probably could have haggled a bit but thought I would let the guy have his "win". US layout unfortunately and not sure what to think about no numpad beyond it will be easy to cart around to places.
That said the one I found back in 2016 ( https://gbatemp.net/threads/things-you-recently-bought-or-got.347639/page-341#post-6569949 ) is still going strong and in some ways is better than the new one so eh.

Returned the Pokemon leaf green cart back to the store and checked there other Pokemon gba games and all but 1 from 9 were fake. So I just got a Pokemon silver instead and that's a real cart
