It certainly looks real pretty sitting on my infinite backlog of JRPGs.

Thanks for the kind words! It's funny how I ended up with that wallet as all of the other Paul Smith wallets that were on sale did nothing for me. This one I bought on the recommendation of one of the staffers at the shop, was the last new one they had (only the display one is left). They had a black and brown in that style as well, but I love the pop of the red.
Wallet after tax in San Francisco was about $160.
Now for my low-key pick ups from Friday:

First pickups of the year, filling out my PS4 collection with Divinity: Original Sin and Wasteland 2, plus I couldn't really say no to a physical copy of Terraria for £3.50. All of the positive talk about Life Is Strange around GotY discussions also convinced me to pick up the game's physical release.
The FF XIII-2 guide was just bought as a cheap filler item to make an Amazon order up to a minimum qualifying value for a promotion.
Oh yes, and Tales from the Borderlands dropped cheap enough in the EU PSN sale for me to bite:
Finally, I may have to supplement these with The Witness shortly, but otherwise that'll be me done for January.

Finally got sick of running with my phone and invested in a Tom Tom Runner Cardio Fitness Watch. Bonus points for having an integrated heart rate monitor and the ability to automatically upload runs to Endomondo.
For software its exclusively retro pickups for me this month, re-buying my childhood one game at a time. Sonic box is in poor condition but the price was right and its otherwise complete.
Picked up a Steam Link and Steam Controller, went in with low expectations given the love/hate sentiment on various sites but I've been wowed by the (wired) performance of the link and and the controller itself.

TLOU Joel and Ellie vinyl figure
I've always wanted some physical stuff from TLOU to put on my shelves.
Congrats. Looks like a nice car. You may want to either remove or obscure the picture with your license plate though.

I didn't get too much this much and I haven't had much time to play the games I got this month either, which makes me sad... ;(
Pretty excited to get the Fates SE next month, hope that arrives in one piece!

I've been meaning to post this in December but forgot some I'm combining my December + January pick ups. This is going to be a lengthy post...
Nexus 6 + Spigen case + tempered glass protector. Needed an upgrade from my Note 3 and I thought that phone was big but the N6 is HUGE.
Persona Vita and Persona Q 3DS. Were on sale on Amazon for $30 CAD each, a complete steal!
PSVita slim. Much lighter than the OG Vita making it better for travel I think.
Assorted items from Christmas
More items from Christmas
LeBron 12 Elite Elevate. I normally don't buy high-end basketball shoes so this was my first ever pair.
Another shot of them. Such amazing amount of detail.
Nvidia Shield console and 8Bitdo SNES BT controller. The Shield is incredible. Runs pretty much any android game smoothly and plays 4K content from youtube without a hitch. I haven't tried Netflix 4k but I'm sure it won't have an issue with playback. Runs various emulators very well too!
This controller I bought for the Shield to play SNES roms and I have to say, this controller is great. It looks and feels so much like the original SNES controller.
My new gaming treasure. Sega Naomi Universal Arcade Cabinet. I really wanted to own an arcade machine as a kid. Specifically, the Japanese-style candy cabinet. So when I saw an online ad for this, I just had to get it. This unit worked but was really dirty so I spent a lot of time cleaning/restoring it to stock condition.
This was how I originally got it. The previous owner franken-installed a Street Fighter 2 control panel on it.
And now the after. Thoroughly cleaned it. Shortened the legs so it can be played on a chair. I also installed a proper Sega panel with Sanwa sticks and buttons. I can tell you that sourcing old arcade parts here in Canada is very difficult. I had to import most of it.
But it was totally worth it. Running arcade version of Marvel vs Capcom 2 like a champ!
Razer Leviathan soundbar + subwoofer to go with...
55" 4K Sony TV. Watching 4K youtube content is amazing!
At this point, the amount of damage to my wallet is beyond repair.
I still want to do more upgrades to the arcade however.

Great job, man! Yeah getting parts here is a huge pain. Even HAPP controls from the States get hit with customs hard.

Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters. Heard great things about it.
Lucas Amiibo. One step closer to Amiibo salvation. When the SSB line is complete I'm done with them except for special ones like Zelda stuff.
SMW-style Yoshi. I already have a few other figures in this line (Link, Zelda 1 style stuff like that), this is the last one I wanted.
Totally Rad - NES, pretty fun Mega Man-ish game. Not nearly as good as any Mega Man though, but fun enough.
My father gave me his old computer since mine shit itself a few months back. I spray painted it and put teddie on it. I wish I put him on the bottom but I still think it's v cute. (ignore the snapchat filter)
My father got me the new grimes Vinyl
my mother got me melanie martinez's EP on vinyl. limited of 3000 and my dad got us tickets to see her in boston.

Flea Market. Lot of competition here since RetroLiberty and a few other youtubers frequent it. the Dreamcast game is Phantasy Star Online 2 for those wondering. Everything for 26. Not shown: Spiderman: Revenge of the Green Goblin, Batman: Knightfall Part 3, and Pokemon Ranger.
Traded in WWE All Stars to GS.
Thrift Store, all for $8. Wish they had more Scooby Doo
How do you like the soundbar? Been thinking about getting one!

Yep, especially now with our crummy canuck buck. I had to import parts from Hong Kong, Spain, and Belgium and shipping costs were a pain but expected. Still need some more parts but I think I can get them locally.
For the price, its good for a bed room setup for your mid-size TV or PC. Don't expect it to blow away your friends if you have a home theater in your living room. Sound is good, much better than my television. You can also connect your phone to it since it has bluetooth for audio playback.
However there are some cons. The subwoofer connects straight to the soundbar and the cable isn't that long. And it doesn't come with a remote so you'll either have to walk up to turn it on everytime or just leave it on. They're working on an mobile app to control it but don't expect it anytime soon.
