Post your last purchase III

[Zangoose]

You can't get Mountain Dew over there???

Its by far the best soda ever made...you should try other flavors like Livewire or Code Red.

They are just as good.

Nope, Its not on sale in the UK, we do have Pepsil, Coke Cola like most countries. They used to sell it in this country a very long time ago but due to low sales they stopped. But there is a high demand for it now so come on PEPSIL BRNG IT BACK

Also just bought;

Canon 17-40mm f/4 L

Super jealous, I need to get a nice piece of L glass to replace the crappy kit lens that came with the XSi. I love L glass, my 70-200L is my favorite piece I own.

How do you know there is a high demand? Do all your friends drink it? I doubt the qualifies.
It doesn't pay to import things like that unless the stuff is flying off the shelves. I think you're better off buying it there. Although I thought when I was in the UK they had something nearly similar to Mt. Dew. No?

These I have bought/ordered today.

24 Cans of it, Ordered from American Soda since I live in the UK. Not had the drink Since 2005 I think? Time to taste it once again!







NICE WORK! I think I'm going to head to Taco Bell right now and pick up a mexican pizza and a DEW!!

I really want one of those as well as a 24-70L but I have to save for a while

Congrats on the wicked purchase though

Thanks! The f/2.8 on the 24-70mm is great, expensive, but you'll enjoy it.

That is a nice lens! How you like the XSi?

Love it, but I think I'm going to sell it soon. I had a Wacom Intuos before this and I think I may just go back to that.. I do graphic design and honestly don't need the Cintiq. It's much more useful for painters in my opinion than it is for photographers and designers. Not to say it's not incredibly useful for those things... Getting by with an Intuos wa just fine though.

2006 Mazda 3 Hatchback - it cost me a couple pretty pennies.

Gen 1 Sega Genesis. I totally want to play Sonic, NBA Jam and Mortal Kombat again.

Before anyone mentions it, yes I know I could download ROMs for this thing. Alas, it's not the same thing. Not a fan of gaming on a computer whatsoever. I needs me a controller.

Agreed on the ROMS. It looks mint! Ah, memories...

The thing looks like it's never been used. If that's what I get, I'll be in utter awe. Memories indeed

Boom Shaka-laka! He's on fire!

Finish Him!

Gonna have way too much fun with this thing.

This guy's a great composer!

You are not wrong. I have every one of his albums and he is the best there is. I don't really do classical music, but his is amazing. Divenire is a quality album - one of his best I think.

 

[Scubajay]

In the spirit of joining in as well:

Today I bought:

Some air. Going diving on Wednesday. Yeah Baby!!

Also....I am being dragged to the shops the evening by the long haired General to get some new shoes. I hate shopping.

And......am awaiting delivery of my Madcatz HDMI adaptor for my Xbox 360 core system. Then my 50" TV will be awesomely awesome as I kick ass and take names on COD4. (without too much name taking)

After much research I have decided to take the plunge into SLRness. I can't wait to start taking pictures with this thing!

<snip>Nikon D40 w/ 18-55mm Kit Lens
<snip>4GB SDHC Card
<snip>Tamrac 3345 Aero Zoom 45 Photo Camera Bag
When I have enough money I'm gonna buy the SB-400 Speedlight and the 50-200mm VR Lens.

Congrats !
I bought the same set from Amazon. I dunno if you are aware that if you included 55-200 VR in your cart, you would be greeted with a $100 instant rebate on checkout (they don't advertise it even on the bundled deal) i.e you could have added the 55-200 VR for $110 instead of $210

 

[jordygreen]

I love those sunnies!!!

I bought this tee today from H&M.

 

[skiesforme]

Just bought these on eBay last night for
$545 - $54.5(10% off Coupon) - $109 (MSFT Cash Back) = $381.5 + $22(shipping) = $403.5
Hopefully Im getting a good deal.
Nikon D40
AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G ED II
AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED
2Gig SD card
two Nikon School DVD's
2 year Nikon USA extended warranty
<snip>

That's a great deal !
Just check if you are getting the 55-200 VR lens. There's a huge difference in quality when you have VR(Vibration reduction).

Well I'm not sure if there is a high demand but there is many sites who want it back in the UK. It would be cheaper to buy if it was over here though, some sites sell it at £4.00 for 1 can with all the shipping . Nope theres nothing similar to Mt.Dew what I know off.

Thanks! You too!

I knew about the $100 off instant rebate. Alas, if I buy from Amazon I'd have to pay tax and shipping. That package was being sold by another company if I'm not mistaken.

My little package cost me $500. No tax, no shipping. I also saw another posters little deal where they went through Live search and got money back.

I can't wait to get it. The 55-200 VR lens and the SB-400 speed light is next on the list of have to purchase.

I think I'm gonna pick up this:

as I actually want to learn how to use the camera. I feel this is gonna turn into addiction.

Those things really scare me, as a driver.

I see kids, oblivious to all extraneous noise, walking along, and stepping off the curb without paying attention.

I almost stepped off a curb in front of a speeding fire truck (sirens blaring and all) while wearing my Shure E4s. Luckily for me I am smart enough to look both ways before crossing the street. I must have been taught well as a child.
