He actually helped me a lot with Godzilla prop bust I've bought on ebay back there. Shippin' cost was way too high for me so I contacted him and he took the thing from NY seller and brought here by himself several months later while visitin' our country (some of his relatives still live here). Great guy, good friend.
 
I will admit ... as I've gotten older, my hobbies have shifted a bit -- from buying junk and sticking it on a shelf, to actually doing something. I still buy the occasional collectible. But, skills are significantly more fulfilling. And, practical gadgets, tools or weapons tend to hold their value for me for quite a bit longer. The 'new collectible' thing wears off really fast -- and you just move on to the next thing. A skill is forever.

It's gotten to the point where I'm enamored with a collectible when the pictures are released ... and the shine has worn off by the time the thing actually gets released. The only ones I buy anymore are those that I think I'll value once the newness wears off. Which isn't all that much lately.

i used to get excited when i went to a toy store

now i get excited when i go to home depot :lol
 
the bass pro shop in here is huge and feels like a museum with all the animals they have
they have an aquarium with giant fish, i love going just to see the animals sometimes
 
Harbor Freight is like Home Depot without the interior decor, Oprah and Gossip magazines, candy, etc. It's a tool store for men. Period.

I like Harbor Freight a lot. Had to buy a heavy duty 3-ton hydraulic jack there last year (I drive a really heavy pick-up). Northern Tools isn't bad either.
