    You must make way more than I do per hour to be buying drawings for that price! :thumb

    I made a deal to be sponsored by my bank account's credit line. If I don't pay back... Well, a bit of a swim in a Sharkticon infested Quintesson judgement room will be much easier to deal with than the bank.

    Well... We would be having that conversation this Tuesday when she comes back from Europe with Prada accessories and $$$ delicacy snacks. Will keep you posted.

    Yup, very impressive hauling. I too wonder what the wife will say as well, lol. Every time I got a new TF figure, I usually try to hide from wifey, lol.

    I usually try to hide the new bots from the wife, hoping her to think that they "look all the same, and hopefully if they all stand still grouped together" she won't notice. I'm sure she's not that dumb to not know, but then she was dumb to marry me so I don't really know for certain...

    Obviously something huge like Pandinus would set off all the alarms so I tell her directly that it's something from her to me that I picked up to save her the hassle of carrying or wrapping something so mighty and that I was deliberating it for a long time, at least a year (since initial black outline/CG render or rough mold/printing to keep things... honest).

    Walmart is the only place to get him. Or the secondary internet market.

    True, but last I heard he hasn't been spotted at retail and is going for quite a higher price on ebay. So I'm assuming most people wouldn't pay the money for one from taiwan lol. Plus I was in Ohio last night (ironically to see the last knight) and would hate to think I missed him haha. Thanks though :)

    Been in Montana for the past week, and while my most recent purchase was technically Thrilling 30 Nightbeat on BBTS for $7, these guys were bought about an hour earlier from TRU and are actually in my possession.[​IMG]

    Most I've spent on a retail purchase in quite a while. The razors are thrown in because they have the Decepticon symbol on them. :lol

    Ordered MPM-3 Bumblebee mere minutes ago, looking forward to my first Movie MP now. I hope he arrives this week.

    I almost envy you married folks and your marital games. At least those of you with cool spouses anyway. ;)  I sold a CW Leader Thundercracker to a fellow last week who had to meet while his wife was out of town so that he could slip it in the collection on the sly. I wonder if she really doesn't know, or is she playing the same game? :D

    While I was out of town I went to see The Last Knight and they had some of these posters sitting out for people to take, couldn't pass it up.

    Picked up TT MP Sideswipe and a Hasbro MP Bluestreak at Mightycon Saturday for KO prices. Bought a MISB Armada Skywarp too, regretted selling mine years ago, not sure why I still have such a soft spot for some of those Armada/Energon/Cyberton figures.

    ...and i'm sometimes feeling that oh, what a nice feeling it must be, to not play any marital games, to be single again, to answer to nobody except ... except maybe the bank (OMG, that's pretty horrible actually!) I am lucky to have a cool spouse. Up until this coming tuesday, anyway. That's when she gets home from her Eurotrip and I need to clear a ton of stuff (LIKE RIGHT NOW! I should not be here typing this reply lolololololololol) off the kitchen table, countertop, stairs and any flat surface that can hold a figure or robot. Gotta make that all disappear back into the mancave (or what I call the "No Carol Allowed Room") in the garage. Not the most ideal place to store cool figures in case I leave the room unlocked and garage door open to the street. However, its the ultimate place to store things straight from the car directly into the room without heading upstairs to the main living area.

    In regards to the guy that got the CW TC last week from you while that wife was away (I love it when the wife is away! Its like Decepticons discovering an unlimited energon tap and they could get crazy without these pesky Autobots), i'm pretty sure she won't know unless its hanging out in the open and she's keeping a mental note of whatever new thing is popping up (those CW leader figs are rather large and noticeable unlike a legion or legends fig). She could be playing the same game too, but as long as their both on the level with each other and their finances are not jeopardized, it should be OK...
