Strapped by Toy Fair 2008?

[galactiboy]

Crap, I forgot about the babysitter But, like EF said not technically part of TF.

I guess the plus side is I didn't get an IM stature as well

 

[DarthSid]

IronMan 1:1, Samaritan, T-Rex, Eagle vs. Fell Beast, Sidious 1:1, Alien and Predator dioramas, Cthulhu... from Toy Fair and this is barely 8 weeks into the New Year!

What about Comic Con? 2008 looks like a BIG bucks year for Sideshow.

 

[galactiboy]

I have a feeling SDCC 2008 will blow our minds... don't know what it will be, but I expect to have brains hanging out of the back of my head once its done

I got off pretty cheap, only Indy and possibly Obi for me. I would love to have the JP dio, but since I dove in to the Star Wars dio line feet first that's sucked up alot of money. Don't know if I'll be able to even get Obi, but I'm sure as heck going to order him and hope I don't have to cancel. Ideally that JP dio will be around later too, but I kinda feel the exclusive really makes that piece and I doubt it will be around all that long. I'd also like to get a Gandalf to replace my WETA statue with but I doubt that will happen.

I am starting to run out of space. Plus I have spent too much lately. So yes I am a bit strapped.

 

[Wetanut]

Nearly wiped out my annual budget. Eaglerama, Gandy 12", Aragorn LSB. I've still got stuff on preorder from last year waiting to hit (Sam & Frodo, about 4 of the GG Harry Potter busts). I've skipped the Indy 12" in hopes that future PF or maybe a bust will satisfy.

Am dreading Comic Con -- only a couple of GG's stuff interests me, but hoping that SS won't have an exclusive that I can't live without.

 

[King Darkness]

Yup, TF 2008 was a good one, and I have had to make cancellations to accommodate the new orders.

Yeah, I have to agree with that. It could be a very painfull week for the wallet.

I'd have to second ya on that. I think SDCC 08 will be one to remember.

 

[Khev]

I preordered GTG and Indy, on the wait list for Kenobi. GTG will probably get the axe once the Joes start going up for order since I don't have any other LOTR 1/6 figs. Not too bad of a TF for me financially.

 

[The Craw]

in a way im glad there was no joes yet. i bought indy, gandalf, and kenobi and i plan on keeping all 3. they are great. and i got the babysitter as well.

 

[Memnoch]

I'm looking at about $1200 more to come so far this year after ToyFair just from SS. Here's hoping I get a decent summer job and some nice bonuses at work. I don't want to ax anything I have at this point.

 

[blue_rogue]

There wasn't much new stuff at Toy Fair that I was interested in. Of the new stuff shown last week, I plan on getting:

Sideshow
Hellboy II Samaritan ex

Gentle Giant
Lt. Renz bust
Ben Kenobi maquette
Fred & George Weasley busts
Ginny Weasley bust
Lupin/werewolf bust

The Iron Man 1:1 bust looks great, but I've never paid more than $500 for a single item and I won't start with this one.

 

[crasis]

Sideshow didn't completely kill me at ToyFair this year. I have 1/6 Obi-Wan Clone Armor Exclusive and 1/6 Indy Exclusive on preorder (don't know if I'll keep him, though ).

No, Toyfair didn't destroy my wallet...WonderFest did. My god, there are so many amazing things coming out in Japan this year. I don't know how the hell I'm going to find room for this stuff, let alone the cash.

I'm scared to think what will be revealed from SSC at SDCC. I just don't know where to put everything. I need a new house.
