The horde from my last post so far, the yellow pocket is still on the way.
Now that's a haul. Lucky bastard.

I've been trying to build up my old retro collection and the market is absolutely nuts right now. I've been spending premiums on the things I CAN get. So far in the GB series, all I've managed is two translucent purple Gameboy Colors, two DMG-001s (one has a rough shell, but perfect screen. Other one has a few lines out on the screen but perfect shell) and a Gameboy Pocket.

Really hoping to snag some more Colors. In particular the same green you have there.

Charger because my old 18650 charger broke :sad:. Two new 18650s because mine were old and well past their best, could barely get an hour on full brightness, new ones run my torch for 2:30. Holster for my old shiningbeam s-mini, it's an Olight holster, but fits the s-mini perfectly.

Pre-order for this bad boy just arrived recently:

Obviously it's not quite as nostalgic as the SN30Pro, but the triggers and bumpers have much better spacing and it's much more comfortable for long gaming sessions. Became my primary controller for PC almost immediately.

Won an auction for a first gen iPad Mini for $45. I introduced babber to Kid Pix deluxe on my iMac G3 the other day, and ever since she's been obsessed with coloring on phones and any screen she can find and stuff, so decided to find a cheapo tablet that I don't really care if she breaks/fucks up for coloring and learning and such.
Annnd as expected, this broke, although interestingly not how I thought it would :lol: somehow it managed to get bent as if someone stepped on it or something, though despite this it still all works somehow with no screen damage :lol:

But still, decided to order another cheapo tablet, this time a full sized 4th gen iPad for $75. Actually supports iOS versions over 9 (unlike the mini), so I can toss a lot more stuff on there for her which will be nice. We've been using her old one to help with some educational stuff, which has been very useful as opposed to buying various kits and stuff for way more money. And she's still interested in drawing and coloring in images now, so she'll definitely be happy with having something bigger to use. And once again, it's cheapo enough that I don't really care if she breaks it, so that's good.

Surprised they're still making expansions for this game. Not because it isn't good, but because I didn't think an MMO could survive this long without a subscription fee.
Admittedly I've put a few thousand hours into it. Pretty burnt out on the game but it's one of my favorite games of all time.

Just waiting for that new expansion. lol

I think you can generally get protective cases for tablets, that are big and chonky and relatively kid-proof - might be worth the few extra bucks so you're not buying a tablet a week
