Does look like a nice stick, above my budget at the moment though.

Is this gonna be limited? Or will they still be available in the coming months. Going on holidays in September, Bas is gonna kill me if I'm going to spend all the moneys now. 
Guess I'll just have to play on the ps3 for the next month, then see if I can get a stick after September for the xbox.

Street Fighter chess set.

Two squares at a time and blame it on lag.

This is a pretty horrendous example od pointless collectors tat.

Seriously, are capcom going to produce anything useful? How about a big fuck off encyclopaedia of the last 25 years worth of SF games? No, you'd rather do the chess set and a collectors edition with games and soundtracks that serious fans already own, that features nothing new apart from a ryu figure and a pretend ryu belt.

Som you must be insane, or loaded. Fingers crossed you turn a profit (or play a lot of chess).

I'm funding the purchase using the hundreds I'm making from selling my Street Fighter statues. If I told you guys I was buying the Shin Akuma statue back in 2006/7 for £160, you would be laughing at me, wouldn't you? Not when I'll be selling it for £1,500.

EDIT: statues are completely different kettle of fish though, I guess. genuine works of art. You uys are making me have second thoughts. The set does look a bit underwhelming now. Still getting the artbook though.

It's always a gamble with collectibles, but you've proven how well they can work out with your statues.

The chess set is shit, but that's not to say someone won't pay silly money for it one day!

WHAT IS THIS?

Haha, I knew Carp was there from his Twitter.

Played it once, put it back in the box.

If they had turned the touch pad into a six button set up it would have been a different story. Mario Kart is also a dickhead for not letting you use the touchpad for accelerate. Would be so much less painful!

It's super, that's swirl, and if I was insulting you I'd call you duckhead : D

How's the Street Pass stuff work?

It's a bit gash but basically you use xp points from sp and mp to exchange for figurines which have stats.

You then have a stat limit for your team. You pick your team of five which goes up against the persons team you sp with.

The battle animation is basic but quick (hold y) as the two teams face off one by one.

It's 90% luck in terms of how the other team has set there team. Bit of psychology in that most kids will pick two full stat (level 7s) characters at the start but then have a shit team so combat that with your team which are two crap characters at the start then three strong. You win 2-3.

A lot of people do the above so obviously you can counter that team with some fiddling.

It's not great but can pass the time.

Think the MM has devolved into a locals session as there aren't many attending on Sat due to holidays, olympics and stuff.

Would love to join you guys for drinks but alas I work outside Lobdon so making it in for drinks during the week is impossible. Plus Olympic visitors ramming the trains.

Sounds like the kind of thing that'd get really addictive really quickly.

Oh dear, 500 figurines? That may have just sold me.
