Must thrift faster

I woke up late on the day I was meant to be out thrifting, My heart set on going to beverly the next town over for a scout about, Missed the 13:30 bus, Ended up on the 14:45 bus that arrived at 15:15 Still managed to thrifted beverly and then get back to hull and thrift town before the shops shut.

The best thing I found was Animal Crossing Wild worlds on Nintendo DS, CEX sell this for £18, Cash £8 Trade £12, I got that and the two other DS games for £1.99 each.

Some standard PS1 and PS2 fair, Midway Arcade treasures 2 had a PS2 memories card inside the box, bonus, Still 80p trade on them, and you can always check them for embracing Singstar save data, That nearly all PS2 memory cards have saved on them.

Had my storage boxes out again this week, Clear out a lot of stuff for a trade pile for CEX, Taking out the trash as you do, Ended up with a credit note for 38.50 for a bunch of crappy DVDs and PS2 stuff, So I used that credit to pick these up Lego Jurassic world, Tales of Xilla 2 Tin Day one edition and Lollipop Chainsaw, Sweet deal if you ask me.

As I was sorting out all my crap, I noticed how many spare consoles I have kicking about, Its almost a mirror of my actual collection, Just wish I had the hook ups and power cables to get shot of a few of these, there's just never enough Sega power cables to go around.


Lego Jurassic world then, It's pretty awesome, I was a bit fatigued with the lego games, The last few I played Lego marvel super heroes and Lego the hobbit, Where a bit overly busy, especially Lego the hobbit, With so many dwarfs all looking the same with different tools, It felt like way to much effort for a Lego game, Luckily Lego Jurassic world has brought it back in terms of game play.

Now I know Lego games get churned out every year for the kids, As an adult I can still enjoy the nostalgia of Lego mixed in with retreading classic film franchises in a casual collection base game play style, So it seems the better the film or the more nostalgic the movie licence is the more fun you will have with them.

And for me stuff like Jurassic park, Star wars and Indiana Jones totally hits the mark, really enjoying playing this, Plus its pretty funny to see how they handle some of the goofier moments in the second and third film, Lego games seem to have a knack for glossing over the less than stellar outings in the franchise's, Just look how they covered Episode 1 and 2 in the first lego star wars.

The Xbox one version of  Lego Jurassic world is the cheapest second hand at the moment, only £20 preowned, On 360, PS3/PS4 its £22, and Wii U £25.
