    High: Spending $53 (incl of express P&H) on what would have been at regular retail $115 for or Warmachine (Orboros Warpack + Baldur). Ebay can be great at times.

    Planning on a nice lil TF haul by the end of the week, but ill keep that in suspense.

    Low: Above TF haul semi nuking the bank account.

    Highs: Went to that ladys house who I got the other TFs from, and scored a ton of peices, including some Reflector ones, and bots. I almost have a complete Trypticon now. Oh, and she has the Trypticon body, which is in great condition, but not sure how much she wants for it, as I only had $10 at the time, so I only had enough for the parts. Still have to give her $5 on tuesday, so the total for all the parts was $15. Oh, and I got a complete Slugslinger in there too. :D  At least I get payed on monday, and will be able to get that Trypticon body from her. I told her it wasnt worth much because its missing all of its peices, but I wonder who took all of those. (for those of you who couldnt figure out who got the Trypticon peices, I got them, but she didnt know they belonged to him) :D 

    Lows: Another long day at work tomorrow. Predaking wont ship til tomorrow, so hopefully I get him by Tuesday.

    Low: Stupid eCheck for my Valkyrie still hasn't cleared. This really bugs me because even though instant bank transfer was selected Paypal did an eCheck instead for what they call "security reasons".

    - My mail-in George Lucas in Stormtrooper Disguise figure FINALLY arrived. The head sculpt is really pretty dead-on, and I find it absolutely hilarious to have an action figure of The Bearded One. (I've never bothered to track down a Jorg Sacul or a Baron Papanoida.) Too bad they used the Commtech Stormtrooper mold, rather than the VOTC one, though.

    LOWS:
    - Not really.

    Highs: 4x 501st Legion Troopers. 10 down, 11 to go.
    edit: just got two battle beasts in the mail that I've been waiting for for nearly 2 months now.

    low: the other TRU I went to has a mole. Must've been 5 cases worth of the greatest hits figures and not a single shock trooper or 501st. :(

    :lol  oh I did both.. Evac's head came right off, right before the blade ended up deep in my thumb.. the cut goes completely across it, and is going to be a MAJOR headache :(  It took me literally an hour of squeezing it while holding it over my head to get the bleeding to stop. (I checked after 35 mins and it started again) Its going to be interesting trying to knock out pins and doing some light facial carving...

    Since all that was layby'd (department store was having a 'sale' at the time) i think it was about $129 AUD? I would have to go recheck the docket to reconfirm that price (but i know the original price is more than that).

    I should mention my low having to deal with twisty ties of death (the scrapmetal was bad enough, i dare not even wanna start on the rest right now).
