    Vacation Loot

    Here’s a couple of pick ups over the last week, most from Ontario

    Zombie and I visited my parents in Ontario this past week for her March Break. We usually have some great meals and do some shopping on our visits and this one didn’t disappoint. During one of our previous visits we found a respectable pawn shop in town and easily convinced Grandma we had to go. They have a decent selection of Xbox One and PS4 games and it’s a great way to fill out some low-cost wishlist items. I found Assassin’s Creed Chronicles; a trilogy of side-scrolling games in the AC universe. Also picked up Mad Max, a game I digitally own but had on my pick-up list, always preferring a physical copy. These games were 2/$25 so $12.50 each (and no tax),

    We also hit up the local GameStop, always fun because of the familiarity, but nice to see new discount bins and merch. I found Star Wars: Jedi Survivor for $25, a great price considering it runs $50 normally.

    We were back in town ON Friday and decided to check a less frequented pawn shop. Not a bad visit here, I picked up Far Cry 6 (XboxOne) despite already owning it on PS5. My justification was the great price AND I owned all the other Far Cry titles on the Xbox platform.

    Finally, at the Value Village in my parents’ town we found this unopened Carnage Lego. It was pricey ($99) but my dad used his seniors discount for %30 off (so $70) and I didn’t feel as guilty. THEN I checked online and found the set was discontinued and selling for, on average, $200 CDN. All in all, a great find. And yes, I opened it and am half-way through building it. What an awesome addition to our Geek Room.

    Although we did many things on our trip, this summarizes the vacation loot we scored. As always, thanks for reading Internet Nomads!
