One of my prizes from the ’80s I’ve had since I was a boy. Here is the front and back of it. It’s a bit beat up, but I’ve had it for nearly 40 years!
My old Return of the Jedi metal trash can
Retrogaming stickers from Ali Express
I got these on AliExpress.com. I didn’t notice the size of these stickers. I was hoping to put the RetroPie sticker on my Raspberry Pi case, but it’s way too big for it!
Here is the link to the sales page for these stickers. You have to choose which ones you want. They also have a Konami sticker, but it’s the newer logo and not the classic logo, unfortunately. So, I passed. I do want to buy a smaller RetroPie sticker now.
Sega pajamas at Shimamura
Since I’ve shown lots of cool Sega swag from Shimamura stores, I thought I’d share these images I found on my Flickr account. I bought the Saturn pajamas, but I wish I had gone into debt and bought the Megadrive and Dreamcast pajamas too. Drat.
Sega Megadrive T-shirt from Shimamura
By creating an account on Mercari, I’ve expanded my ability to buy neat crap. Something I missed out on at Shimamura is this neat Megadrive T-shirt. This shirt is brand new and still has the tag attached! The front breast has the MD logo, the 3-button controller, and under that it says “16-BIT.”
This neat little tag is on the sleeve.
This is on the back. Neat!
Super Famicom blanket
Oh hellsyeah! Just got my SUPER FAMICOM blanket from Aliexpress, just in time for the colder weather and our 23 year, 7 month anniversary. It’s so silky and snuggly, just like the Dragon Quest Slime blanket and Snatcher blanket I bought last year.
My nerd cave late at night, updated August 2024.
I took a photo of my nerd cave late at night, two years ago. I have a better camera this time. I also have added more stuff since then, like my light-up Starship Enterprise atop my monitor. This is a better view of the iron bead pixel art on the wall.
A closer look at my Pac-Man light. It’s actually LEDs, made to look like a neon sign.
My Pac-Man lamps, with a Dragon Quest Slime in between, atop my Megadrive game collection.
My blue paper lantern now lights up the far corner of the nerd cave.
My Aliens and Empire Strikes Back posters, and to the left side are my Record of Lodoss War action figures.
My video gaming pillow collection: Megadrive, Saturn, and Dreamcast cushions, pillows and tissue covers, as well as Pac-Man pillows. Ulan likes to plop on these pillows and chill out. I’ve shown the Sega stuff from Shimamura previously on this blog.
New anime button badge acquisitions: Macross and Spy Family
Minmay and Yor buttons to add to my backpack.
My new Sega towels from Shimamura
I went back to Shimamura a few days later and found Sega towels on sale! They were all discounted from their regular price. For each of the Megadrive, Saturn and Dreamcast, I bought hand towels, face towels, and bath towels. The hand and face towels are a two towel set.
Here are the hand towels:
Here are the face towels:
And here are the bath towels:
BONUS! Here is a set of Urusei Yatsura’s Lum-chan face towels I also bought:
My Sega jumper jackets from Shimamura
Several years ago, I bought these jumpers at Shimamura and posted them on my Tumblr feed. I’ll repost these pics here.
This next one has Megadrive, Saturn, and Dreamcast patterns. It’s also slightly warmer than the Dreamcast one.
My new Sega cushions from Shimamura
Shimamura has come through again, this time with block cushions. This time I was late, as these were released in September. I learned about these by doing a web search. Like those Sega pillows I bought last year, these are detailed on the underside and since these are block cushions, the sides are detailed too.
Neat stuff.
