    Friend described it to me as being sucked into Unicrons Ray. You can run, you can hide, you can even scream no!!!!!, but in the end, it has you. Your done.

    An old Air Force buddy of mine thought about trolling one of the brick and mortar stores one night by pretending to actually be suffering from plastic crack addiction. We wanted to stand there in the aisles with one hand reaching out for a toy, the other hand holding the other hand back, face grimacing while saying "no......must......resist.......toy......can't.....buy......noooo....don't...." while slowly inching towards the toy itself :D 

    Of course we were kinda drunk when we thought of that.

    I am thinking of locking all Paypal on my PC at home so that I would have to jump through loops to paypal payment for something.

    congrats on the acquisitions, but those totally aren't grails. grails are like lifetime achievement level, and only through years of perseverance or an act of god will you be able to achieve it.

    Agreed... but I would argue that they almost are. Like Fort Max is a grail. But he is a grail because:
    1- He is hard to find 100% complete
    2- You find him 100% complete and he is a fortune
    3- It is a act of god that you find him cheap and 100%

    I think these fall into that category.
    - I have not seen a MP TC go for $100 ever. I know I haven't had the lifetime investment to get it. But $100 is pretty damn good for that figure.

    - Same thing for Botcon Alpha Trion. Even though one just sold for $200 on Ebay this week. But before that, they were all going at $400 a piece.

    I really think if I passed on the TC, it would be a long wait till I would be able to get him at $100. Maybe if a US release ever came out, but not even sure if I could even then. Same for Alpha Trion. So this could have turned into a life long pursuit.

    I would argue that these have been a pursuit for the life of me collecting. :wink:
