lol, me too.

Slow down a bit and enjoy it! There's only so many of these things after all.

You're right.... such a finite thing. I do have some stands coming so I might just focus on my display options for a bit.... Still, they're so fun to buy!

So we had a drunken Kinect night this weekend and about 60 vintage G.I. Joes fell from a shelf 6 feet above my Jabba set-up. Not a broken crotch or thumb--a true testament to the quality of a 30 year old toy.

But the clean-up is a beotch.

Are the Joes in a media room... seems like a dangerous thing to mix gaming and collectibles

 

[sladesuperagent]

Nope. Opposite sides of the house. That's the physics of vibration though. Wherever the concussion happens is the safest spot, but the time it reaches the other side of the house, it's all over the place.

Damn man... that must have been one hell of a round of Kinect

 

[sladesuperagent]

Yes. Yes, it was. Even Tigger got involved. She was the only sober one.

Nice

Awesome Jim!

Thanks bro. It's a start at least.

I was kicking around the idea of picking up the Droids and Ewoks series but man are those things expensive. Don't think I like the series enough to justify dropping so much $$$ on them

A friend of mine picked up the 3PO and R2 at a local show loose for $10. I wanted to kill him for his luck. LOL. But he is a great friend so I am always happy for him.

you've been eyeballing that poster a little too much huh j?...

 

[galactiboy]

A bit too much... they're fun and I enjoyed the cartoon series when I was a kid. But man the cost on the Droids figures are ridiculous Bummer too since I know I at least had the C-3PO, but I think at one point I lost one of his limbs Don't think I ever had the R2 from that series though.

The Ewoks aren't too bad and you can get a complete set for the cost of just a C-3PO and R2-D2... but kind of silly to have one and not the other.

My Droids and Ewoks collection says hi.

 

[galactiboy]

But in seriousness post some pics of those... I'd love to see them

I can only imagine what happens when the figures on one of your displays starts to domino, Slade... How long did it take you to pick all those up anyway?
