I haven't bought much recently, but am very happy with this sealed Game Boy Color I got from eBay. It was a second chance offer as the highest bidder pulled out :)

Nice game boy colour, I remember talking about these and friends saying Nintendo couldn't make them work because the battery's didn't last! lol

Well this is a result, I bought this for the cool box that I hadn't seen before, the seller listed it as used but it turns up and the controller is brand new :)

Nice one- I had a similar experience when I bought my arcade stick for the DC, although I've used it now. Funny how in SW collecting mode I wouldn't use an unused ship for example but that doesn't bother me for a retro game/controller.....anyway, here's my latest pick up- a joshprod port of Flashback for DC :p

Thanks, I've got aout 20 in total, the earliest is the NES and latest a Wii, with most of the major consoles in between. I need to do a group shot some time.

That Megadrives' stunning Edd. It's a cool controller the Megadrive, feels sturdy and chunky, more so than the Snes ones. I bought this classic just for nostalgia, got one for a present in the early 80's :D

An impulse buy from CeX last week, I usually play handheld games on one of these but this was in really nice condition, so couldn't pass it up for £45. And it's actually really nice to play on the non-backlist original screen, it's easy on the eyes and feels more authentic!

This has been a labour of love, I bought it as non-working back in January and had to replace practically everything to get it working. But this new LCD screen looks a million times better than the original one so it was worth the wait!
