Moi?

I'm still trying to get everything set up in my still-somewhat-new apartment from having had to move this summer due to the water heater bursting in my old apartment and flooding it like Isengard.

That, and opening stuff when I get it/not letting it pile up and take up space.

I've made some good progress in both areas in the last few weeks. I got my Python shelves set up and ready to accomodate the Con stuff.

I have a mental list of stuff I want to shop for at Joecon but I need to make a hard copy.

Honestly? Nothing. Really.

I mean, I'm constantly adding new stuff as it comes out, and if I see anything interesting from the old days, I might grab an extra or two, but I've got a complete vintage figure collection, I've got pretty much any foreign figure I've wanted (that's within my price range at the moment), and I'm happy with my Sigma 6 collection and modern era stuff.

If anything I guess you could say I'm always looking for some cheap items from the last couple of years to fill in the holes in my reviews. There were several Anniversary and RoC items that I never picked up just because they didn't appeal to me, and I'd love to get them to fill in my review pages, but it's more of a "I'll get it if I see it" type of thing, and nothing I'm on the hunt for in particular.

I suppose JoeCon would be a good place to find that stuff, but I can't make it this year. I'll be busy going to Kansas City a week later for work.

Yay?

I'm actually working on putting my collection... and collecting ideals... in order... mentally, emotionally...

That's actually a great point, and a great goal.

While I'm not actively searching for more "stuff" I'm always searching for what to do with what I have and what the ultimate "goals" really are. At this point, it's not to have everything, that'll never happen. My current home is simply too small to have any kind of suitable display space for my mounds of crap.

Why do I have it? Just to review it? Just in case? What am I going to do with it all? When do I draw the line?

Bah, once JoeCon happens, the drool will start flowing, and all common sense goes out the window again.

I have that problem (obviously). With the amount I snag just to review...

Trying to keep up with POC, but not getting them in my area. Gonna have to bite the bullet and pay net prices. Keeping an eye out for what I can find cheap at Ross for customs.

I'm waiting for my tax return. I'd like to have a complete Night Force set again, I sold all mine to raise money for my wedding. I also would just like to catchup on new releases. I'm also thumbing through Mark Bellomo's book looking for an idea for my next goal. I'm thinking of hunting a Toxo-Lab.

Amen to that. I'm hoping the Low-Light wave is still available in another month, which is the next time I'll have the $40 or so to spend on such things.

As far as the collection in general goes, I'm actually looking to pare down again soon. I dumped off a bunch of other toylines late last year and will be losing some more as we roll further into Spring. And yes, eventually, some Joe stuff will be going, too.

I am caught up for now on ME stuff, slowly but surely I'll pick up my "must haves" from the ARAH line. Con will be a good place to get quite a few of those items, I imagine.

I need to start putting stickers on vehicles but I am all ready almost 90 days past my New Year's resolution of one vehicle a day. One day they will be done...
