My latest purchase was the Halo 3 Legendary Edition.

I was intending on buying this and then selling it off on eBay in a few years but after seeing one,
decided to keep it for myself lol. I have to say I felt like a little kid when opening this.
Figured I might as well capture the whole thing by photos.



Process of unwrapping






So what about everyone else? What was your latest purchase?
List them here and feel free to add photos

Must be nice. Why's it so legendary?

shampoo and this pokemon card tin because i thought it would go nice on my wall i got this card called infernape lv. x and also in the packs i got reverse holo foil garchomp and electivire lv. x i don't play so maybe i can see everything for profit and keep the tin as a cookie jar prince namor u think that is good idea or should i keep the cards b/c it was a good haul and u can never have too much good luck ???

A giant box of Pampers Cruisers size 4 and baby girl clothes. Damn I'm boring.

Must be nice. Why's it so legendary?

Standard Edition is just the game, Collectors Edition is game + bonus DVD, Legendary Edition is game, two bonus DVDs and the Spartan Helmet.

I just bought a six-pack of Smirnoff Double Black too lol.

You serious, you don't play at all man? Keep the tin.

I bought a pizza. It has so much pepperoni that the crust is nearly floating on the grease. It is mighty tasty and well worth the impending heart attack.

3 albums of iTunes and food

Things like electronics etc cost more here in Australia than they do in the US.

Standard Edition $100, Collectors Edition $130, Legendary Edition $200. So yeah a shoulder to pay for it :p but I felt like spending some money, like tomorrow I'll prolly be buying a new lens for my camera... so another $600 or so out of my bank account lol

Oh and I've just bought a bottle of chocolate milk since I only just woke up :D

Some pastries and a large Pepsi Twist Big Gulp for breakfast.

:$

A carton of cigarettes, and some cheeseburgers.

a box of cheese-its which i devoured in less than 2 hours of buying

I bought three twenty dollar notes from the Commonwealth Bank ATM. Cost me 60 bucks, which was a pretty reasonable price I thought.

Got a free balance receipt with it, so that was prty sweet.

Last purchase was the aforementioned $120 Halo 3 Limited edition.

The reason I didn't go for the $200 legendary is the $15 000 car that I have to buy in the next day or so, because some jerk wrote off my old one :(

gas, $58.


goddammit...

Last real purchase was a ridiculously expensive photo camera and equipment.

I do need to get the new Foos, but my next purchase will probably be Pokemon Advanced Vol.2 and Movie 8.

I think I overpaid for Canada so I am trying to sell it to France.

Pretty much, you wouldn't think I don't have a full time job from my purchases lol I work average about 15-20 hours a week. I tend to come by some extra cash by trading and shit. (e.g. Buy a bulk load of computer gear for a few hundred dollars and then sell the parts off with a 10%-20% price increase) it supports my in-ability to save :p

i am president i have spare countries for money

I just bought a 1 liter bottle of Dr. Pepper. Aren't I the big spender?
Damn, I had one can of Dr. Pepper years ago and I was so traumatized by the taste that I sworn that wouldn't touch any again for the rest of my life. It didn't go down well on my taste buds.

Yeah, I'm so damn fine that people pay me for sex rofl :p

ROOT BEER

I bought the X trilogy for the price of one DVD. This is good because my copies of 1 and 2 are currently in the possession of someone I'd rather not speak to ever again.

2002 Mitsubishi Lancer GLi Coupe.

$12 500.

FUCK YES :D

Where are you from? We don't have coupes and your '02 body is way different then my '02 Lancer OZ Rally. Only pics I have now are of last september when they broke into it.




And then I installed my own stereo.

Australia. I don't have any interior shots (the car is still at the dealer until they do mechanical inspections/check police records to make sure it wasn't stolen, etc). But it looks pretty similar. Apart from the fact that my steering wheel is on the right side, of course.

SWEET! I want my steering wheel on the right side.

Oh and Raidy? I wouldn't touch half the women at Bondi Beach, you never know where they've been.

i bought house not picture u lord stench

I bought a weeaboo. I think it's broken, it keeps saying it's from China.

I bought a PSP Slim with 4GB ProDUO card and Final Fantasy Tactics : War of the Lions.

My stash of money is starting to run low :( gunna have to trade some more.

3 Knock off 1/170 Macross models for a 1$ each:




As you can tell, these are Knockoffs. No Macross labels anywhere.







This is a comparison of the real and the fake.



I have to admit that they made real good knock offs of the actual models (I'll post the images later).
I own a real one, and it cost me about $4. Normally they go for $4 - $6 a pop at shops and conventions.

I know it's wrong, but when it comes to anime toys, I love knock offs.
I rarely buy the real ones unless I find deals or I just can't pass it up. But when I buy collector mark-ups, I really feel ripped-off, which is why I love knock offs, especially the ones done right to the T.

For anything otaku in the UK you have to pay at least a 10% (more likely 20-40%) mark-up over US prices. Examplo: Viz LLC's Shonen Jump manga retail at $7.99 in the States, but at �5.99 (roughly: $11.50) here. If it's a fair price, I'll buy the real deal, otherwise... that's if you can find cool stuff like figures/garage kits in the first place.

I'm gunna have to buy some new boxer shorts tomorrow/today (5am), the ones I'm wearing at the moment have a hole in the crotch area and when I sit down my balls fall out :(

When it comes to manga, I never get knock-offs. As for anime, I would have to view the pirated copy before buying. I got a pirated copy of the entire Helsing series and it has all the DVD options for language, wide/full, language captions, even concept art.

The only knock-offs that I regularly buy are figurines and resin kits.
I especially love going to the small monthly comic-cons in L.A. I can always find great deals on stuff, I even haggle prices when I have to.

Do people actually sell pirated manga in the US?

All of my (too many) tankobons are legitimate, expensive US/UK/JP versions. About 60% of my disposable income goes on manga. I don't download scanlations. However, I do get friends to send me anime from HK and Singy, and to be honest I don't fret over their provenance as they're always of reasonable quality and can't be bought in Europe. If stuff gets a UK release - like Azumnaga Daioh, say - I'll buy the legit version: all 6 volumes at �120.

Unless, of course, they've kept me waiting for 3 years behind the American release, in which case: fuck you, I've already torrented/downloaded/imported it while you were pissing about wondering whether you'd make enough cash off the PAL conversion.

The NTSC/PAL divide is the cause of much woe here as I guess you'd imagine guv'nor. Especially painful when it comes to games.

As I say, figures and garage kits are fairly hard to come by here, so there's always a potential doubt over what you're getting. In my case, cash dropped means a close relationship with store owners, but still my - genuine - Genshiken Saki-Kasukabe-cosplaying-as-KU-Prez figure cost the equivalent of $79; I can't believe it would cost that much in the US.

Um... Last Purchase: extremely posh biscuits from my secret supplier.

A pencil.

Peanuts.

A ten story mansion.

Do people sell pirated manga in the US?Probably, I wouldn't know since I buy manga at legit bookstores.

I guess I'm not as hardcore a fanboy as I used to be.
I could care less about the latest animes.
Now, I just look up anime that look cool. If I end up liking the plot, I'll buy it.

Most of the kits I buy, I get for $15 - $30. I don't concern myself with "genuine" kits since I don't paint them to specs -unless it's a character I like- anyways.
I'm not a collector of value, I'm a model builder. The only thing that concerns me is the way kits look. Any blemishes can be fixed, and the fun part is modifying and making them my own.

Alas, I'm too impatient and cack-handed to do much serious modeling. Most of that expenditure in my case goes on figurines with highly detailed panties. Koff.

But she can't be dead! I love her, Zell! With all my heart!

What about Rinoa? I thought -

She's a freaking hooker! Selphie did things for free, Rinoa charged by the hour! I have to get her - maybe Hojo can bring her back to life!

Nobody will, Squall. I am the Boogey Man, and I'm coming to getcha!

I will kill you Boogey Man! For Selphie's love!

And for hot dogs!

FOR SELPHIE'S LOVE!

RIP Selphie

We don't celebrate Halloween here in Australia :(

How come?

fuel pump for my jetta ''Munnin''

After looking over this thread, I keep trying to think of the last "fun" thing I bought for myself that wasn't groceries or crap we needed around the house.

I got a gamecube like two months ago and have hardly played it. Not because I don't care for it, just because I've been busy lately. Before that (like 6-8 months before that), it was a DS that I haven't played much.

Actually, I think the one useful thing I did buy for myself that I was happy with was an espresso machine with milk steaming wand. Only $20, which is great. It works well (although I'm not a coffee/espresso snob so who knows, maybe its shit), or at the very least, gets the job done.

How come?

Because it's a dumb American holiday, like Thanksgiving?

Unfortunately, what stenchlord says isn't completely true. Due to the over-saturation of American culture, more and more kids are 'trick or treating' every year.

The day that Thanksgiving infiltrates our culture will be the day I pack up and move to Canada.

EDIT: My last purchase was Jericho Season 1 on DVD. Although it broke my 'no DVDs over $15' rule, it's worth it if DVD sales get Jericho's second season extended. Any Jericho fans go out and buy the DVD set now!

Don't be such a stick in the mud. :\

Thanksgiving may have questionable roots, but its a time to get together and celebrate with family. Its not nearly as commercial as other holidays celebrated the world-over, and tbqh, I think its great. Anything that lets me have a day off school (or gives someone time and a half at work), is an excuse to get together with family, is by no means a "dumb holiday" for me.

There's nothing wrong with Halloween either. I think its a great holiday for kids, but admittedly, there's a lot of shit head punks that ruin it. But geez, how on earth is Thanksgiving that terrible?

There is a thanksgiving in canada and it's a three day weekend event. dur


also thanksgiving and halloween are my favourite holidays because they require the least amount of effort and i love getting dressed up for halloween.

Well, it's more that thanksgiving is a specifically North American holiday. While Halloween has more pagan roots, it still 'started' as an American holiday.

I don't see why we should celebrate said holidays unless you guys start celebrating Australia day :p

Also: have no problem with either national holiday, just have problems with Australia assimilating US culture.

Australia is where all the criminals live anyways and everyone is blonde with blue eyes.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that if you don't want to have anything to do with North America's Thanksgiving holiday, then why would you move to Canada if the holiday starts being celebrated in Australia? Because um, Canada is part of North America AND they celebrate Thanksgiving. Do you know what you're saying, man?

Oblivion.

A chocolate bar!

Actually, Halloween is the Celtic/Scottish pagan ritual of Samhain. Immigrants brought it over which eventually transformed into the way it's celebrated today.

Anyways

You Aussies think anything American is just another attempt to assimilate our culture. Is it just me or are island nations very xenophobic.

Yesterday I just bought some books at a mall I went to. Hunter x Hunter volume 8, Yu Yu Hakusho volume 8 and strawberry volume 2.

American xenophobia: do we have time for to discuss US legislation BANNING CHINESE AND JAPANESE PEOPLE FROM ENTERING THE COUNTRY? Give us your poor, hungry etc. so long as they're not slitty eyed. Some sort of dignified silence is probably called for here. OK. Done.

"Thanksgiving": Thank fuck we paid the abos off with alcoholism, syphilis , cheap cigarettes and legal gambling.

Not that Australia's treatment of the Abo's is any better.

I have no idea how a "What was your last purchase?" thread turned into any kind of political.

It really is beyond me.

In the spirit of international luv luv my weekend purchases =

Bottle of Wild Turkey (USA)

Bottle of Moudai (China)

20 cans of Peetermans (Belgium)

Can't we all just get along under the same big table?

Uhh... you do know I'm Mexican, and know way more than anyone about this contradiction!

I was referring to cultural xenophobia, not racial xenophobia. The US accepts anything from other cultures except immigrants themselves.

well maybe they should strop trying to be illegal immigrants.

Apologies!

But is interesting that only orientals have been the subject of this kind of legislation in the history of the States.

As long as people are prepared to employ people illegally to cut wage, benefits and insurance costs the problem isn't going to go away. We can start paying more for our goods and services or accept the fact of illegal immigration.
