I can only presume my royalty fee is pending still for 2005.  Hopefully you can combine the payment for 2006 :P

Royalty fee?  For what?  I hardly think your performance last year is deserving of a bloody thing.  Send me da money.

Pretty simple.  I prefer white bread for PB&J's, but for ham- and turkey-based sandwhiches, I like the wheat bread.

Its $20 plus tax at the park roughly $21.70.  SInce I'm a annual passholder I get 10% off my purchase.

I think we add up the entire amount of the item cost inculding sales tax, shipping and other cost (except gas). 

I have a question do we count trades and stuff we sell?

Yes, I usually do.

Yes, I usually do. 

For trades, I count the cost of the stuff I bought to trade and shipping.

For stuff I sell, I keep track and deduct the money I made from selling stuff at the end of the year.  That way, I can keep track of what I actually spent and then see how much I saved by selling off older stuff.

Sales tax, shipping, etc should be included.

If I have to go out and buy something for a trade, I count it (and mark it as such).  If I'm trading some of my of leftover stock from previous years, I don't count it (reason being it was paid for in another year).  The opposite is true for sales.  If someone asks me to pick up something for them, I won't count it because I'm getting reimbursed for it.  But if I sell some of my previous stock, I'll deduct it from the total.

Not too bad really.  If Obi-Wan's saber had shipped in 2005, I'd be sitting pretty right now.  I'm not expecting much prop movement for a while so I should be doing ok until spring.

I'm keeping my totals again this year.  It's gone from a "challenge" to a real tradition.  The only difference is, I'm going to add descriptions of everything I buy and why I bought it.  I started that midway last year, but I used to just put in stores and amounts.

Let's see...

January = $354.99

Stuff I bought:
- 400% Kubrick Han, Luke, Boba Fett, and Batman
- Carded Kubrick Droids R2-D2 w/Acrylic Case
- 2006 Saga Hoth Wave (9 carded and 6 openers)

I managed to offset the cost by selling some of the extra stuff in my "for sale" list, so that helped get the total for the month down a bit.

I'm still working on that.  I've got a few extras from the 3 3/4" line, but they're all very common, so they don't exactly fly out the door.  However, there's a line or two I'm considering selling, so that could help with next month.
Title: Re: The Great 2006 Collector's Challenge
Post by: Mikey D on February 2, 2006, 02:29 PM
$598.72, the majority of which was spent on a complete series 5 Kubrick set and the chase Indy.  That doesn't include the nearly $60 each for the 4 Sideshow 12" figs or the $60 or so for the EE astro droids.  Ouch.
Title: Re: The Great 2006 Collector's Challenge
Post by: Brian on February 2, 2006, 03:23 PM
Well, my attempt at cutting the monthly spending in half didn't go quite as well as I had hoped...but still better than last year.  Here's what it looked like for January:

8 TSC Figures (Han, Chewie, Veers, Derlin, 2x AT-AT, Snowtrooper, Power Droid)=$50
Hoth Bust Ups - Set of 6=$28
2 Sets Galactic Heroes=$10
"Other" Stuff=$15

Total for January=$103.00

Not quite where I wanted to be, as I was hoping to average $50 per month this year (wishful thinking).  If this continues, I really might have to consider dropping things like the Bust Ups and some "other" stuff, or at least cutting back significantly.

I had a Pontiac Vibe, which shares the Toyota Matrix design.  Did you get the 6 speed manual?  It's a LOT of fun to drive!

Nope I can't drive stick.  :(

Wish I could though. I never really had the time or resources to learn. One day...

Another busy month thanks to 400% Wicket, Kubricks, and Hasbro's fast pace for 2006...

January = $354.99
February = $240.39

Stuff I bought in the past month:
400% Be@rbrick Wicket
Carded Kubrick Darth Vader w/Acrylic Case
2006 Saga Hoth Wave (2 openers)
2006 Saga Geonosis Wave (7 carded and 6 openers)
2006 Galactic Hero 2-Packs (2 openers)
EE Astromech Droid Box Sets (Set I and Set II)
Shipping Supplies (Padded Mailers and Tape)


Once again, I managed to offset the cost by selling some of the extra stuff in my "for sale" list.  Always nice to turn old toys into new toys.   :)

Slow month for me, but that's ok.  Here's my Feb totals:

TSC R2-D2 (Hoth) - $6.99
TSC Poggle the Lesser (Geonosis) - $6.99

That, plus tax, is it for last month.  Nothing much new around here lately otherwise.

February Total - roughly $16.00

A couple of big purchases this month put a pretty hard dent in my wallet.

My Sideshow Vader was the highlight of the month - $560CDN

Other highlight was a massive box of Darth Vader goodies - $294CDN

I also purchased the Medicom RAH Vader, EE Astromech sets, a few Bust-Ups, a Pewter Vader and a few miscellania.

The good thing is I sold off a bunch of stuff which put around $400CDN back in my pocket.

Total for February - $1049CDN or about $910US

Total for the year - $1550US

Wow, March was actually a "slow" month for me (slow being a relative term, of course).

January = $354.99
February = $240.39
March = $100.78

Stuff I bought in the past month:
2006 Saga Geonosis Wave (2 carded and 3 openers)
2006 Saga Coruscant Wave (8 carded and 6 openers)

Once again, I managed to offset the cost of all those figures a little bit by selling some of the extra stuff in my "for sale" list. 


April should be an interesting month as I still have all those UGH figures to track down...  >:(

Another relatively slow month allowed me to stick pretty close to my budget.   :)

January = $354.99
February = $240.39
March = $100.78
April = $111.68


Stuff I bought in the past month:
2006 Saga Coruscant Wave (2 openers)
2006 Saga Ultimate Galactic Hunt (6 carded)
2006 Target Exclusive Demise of Grievous (1 carded and 1 opener)
2006 Target Exclusive Skirmish in the Senate (1 opener)
2006 Saga Vintage Wave (2 openers)


Once again, I managed to offset the cost of all those figures a little bit by selling some of the extra stuff in my "for sale" list. 


May will be expensive because I still have 8-10 VTSC figures to buy as well as trying totrack down the rest of the damn UGH figures...  >:(

I hear that. I haven't updated my tally since earlier in the year, but after buying two sets of VTSC and 11 exclusive ML figures, I'm at like $1,300 and it's not even June yet.

May was a bit busier than the previous months due to finishing off my UGHs, my VTSC, and the H&V Wave 1.

$354.99  January
$240.39  February
$100.78  March
$111.68  April
$179.68  May


Stuff I bought in the past month:

2006 Saga Ultimate Galactic Hunt (4 carded)
SWShop Lucas Collector's Set (1 opener)
2006 Ep3 H&V Wave 1 (12 carded)


Once again, thankfully, I managed to offset the cost of all those figures a little bit by selling some of the extra stuff in my "for sale" list.  Hooray for recycling old stuff into new toys!   ;)

June should be quiet again with just the Tatooine wave to worry about, but July is going to be a killer with Kubrick Series 6 and possibly the Endor Wave and more H&V waves...  :-\

I haven't updated in a bit, but I was just totaling up things for May.  I think this was my worst month, with some VTSC, Unleashed, and Marvel stuff all hitting/shipping in the same month.  My total for the month is:

$159.62

What I bought this month to make that total:
2 Unleashed
2 VTSC Figures
Senate Battle Pack
Lucas Family Gift Pack
5 ML/SMC Figures
3 ML Face Off Packs
1 Superman Returns (Lex Luthor) Figure

Hopefully June will be a bit lighter, but its always tough to say when things are shipping.  Basically just on the lookout for the Tatooine wave at this point, unless the next wave of new Galactic Heroes starts shipping this month too.

This whole process is doing nothing but making me want to cut back my SW shopping.  I'm on pace to spend around $2000.00 this year, which isn't a fortune to me, but it's still a lot of money to spend on toys.  More than a pack-a-day smoking habit...

As I had hoped, June was pretty slow - just the Tatooine wave from EE and a few Shocktroopers.  Of course, July is already shoping up to be a budget killer... Kubrick Series 6, possibly the Endor Wave and more H&V waves and more?  :-\

Because we wanted to give Shannon the "top spot" in Watto's for a while...

I would think at this point the bulk of your TRU Battle Pack spending would be on TRU Mega Diaper Packs ;)

I would think at this point the bulk of your TRU Battle Pack spending would be on TRU Mega Diaper Packs ;)

Don't get me started on how many diapers I'ev purchased over the last 3 weeks... 2 Boys times 8-12 Diapers a day =  :'(

Anyway, on to the report for July...

$354.99  January
$240.39  February
$100.78  March
$111.68  April
$179.68  May
$112.07  June

$648.07 July  :-[


Stuff I bought in the past month:
2006 Saga Tatooine Wave (2 carded)
2006 VTSC Stormtrooper George Lucas (1 carded and 1 opener)
2006 SDCC 501st Stormtrooper (1 carded and 1 opener)
2006 StarWarsShop Shadow Stormtrooper (1 carded and 1 opener)
2006 TRU Hunt for General Grievous (1 opener)
2006 Galactic Hero 2-Packs (4 openers)
2006 SW Potato Head: Artoo-Potatoo
Kubrick Star Wars Series 6 (9 openers)
Carded Kubrick Jorg Sacul w/Acrylic Case

$600+?   I didn't even find the Endor wave or the Greatest Battles stuff yet, just a bunch of overpriced exclusives and the Damn Kubricks.   ::)

August should be another couple hundred if all those figures hit... guess it's time to haul some stuff off to eBay to make up some of that spending.   :-\

OK, I've been scared to post in here after my 'performance' last year, but here goes...

January Total
 $751.65

February Total
 $1,119.71

March Total
 $1,079.53

June Total - this must be a record low for me  ;)
 $82.29

July Total
 $675.87

Grand Total
 $5,262.47

Thankfully, I've slowed down compared to last year, but not by much.  The guilt was a little too much and I cancelled my preorders for the Chrome GG Darth Vader statue, SSC Premium Format Boba Fett and all SSC 12" Figures.  I would still like to pursue a few of the 12" figures, but perhaps at a later time...

2006 Saga Ep3 H&V Wave (1 carded)
2006 Saga Ep3 GB Wave (14 carded)
2006 Target Exclusive Skirmish in the Senate (2 openers)
Johnny Lightning Display Case (x5)
Carded Kubrick Sandtrooper (1 carded)
Carded Kubrick Bape Boba Fett (1 carded)
Shipping Expenses (Padded Mailers and Tape)


Well, I'm not sure what to think of the past month. 

In August, I sold a lot of my old POTF2 duplicate/outdated loose figures.  I was using the cash I made in the sale to pay for the Hasbro stuff.  Things were going very well and I was actually running in the positive for the majority of the month. 

Unfortunately though, my Kubrick weakness reared it's head in the last few days of the month.  I grabbed the two carded Kubricks and ended up with another expensive month.   :-[

I guess I'll call it a win because it could have been a lot worse...  :P

Heh, I'm glad I don't keep track anymore and I sure do wish I had your discipline and narrow focus Jeff.  I dropped just about your June total yesterday on stuff and that was only with two star wars figures in it.  Most of it was other stuff entirely.  Of course Canada sucks, but that's only part of it.

Another expensive month ($250+).  Not as bad as the summer, but  all those End-Nab-ooine figures from EE along with the 400% Kubrick Vader were budget breakers this month.  It's funny how despite still buying a TON of Hasbro figures this year, the lion's share (nearly 60%) of my $$$ spent this year has been on Kubrick related stuff (carded, 400%, series 6).   :-\

Pretty well controlled spending this month; just the GH stuff and the three OT Tin sets.  Got a bit of cash back selling some of the extra/duplicate GH figures, but still another $100+ month.   Next month?  Kubricks:  Series 7, Imperial Speeder Biker Box Set, and possibly the Carded Shadow Stormtrooper.    My wallet hurts already...  :-[

 Action Figures and 12" Sideshow dolls:  $1,001.99

 Books & Comics: $92.87
 Misc: $41.47

Grand total:   $2,040.28          

I only have Sideshow's Bib Fortuna left to arrive in 2006 and probably some after Christmas Hallmark ornaments so a little over two grand is a far cry from the previous two years of over $5,000.00 each.

2005's Totals (for comparison)
Star Wars - $1,914.45
Other - $515.53
Grand Total - $2,429.98

2006's Totals
Star Wars - $617.99
Other - $752.10
Grand Total - $1,370.09

Not surprising as I stopped collecting the Hasbro stuff this year and sold off a good portion of my collection.  2007 will probably be near 2005's total.  I know January is going to be expensive with Sideshow's Jabba, throne and creatures expecting to hit and I still need the two expensive Kubricks to complete the collection.

2005 = $15106.89 CDN = $12160.16 US

2006 = $7960.96 CDN = $6804.24 US

Much better.  Still ugly, but much better.

This year should be a lower total again, not necessarily because I'll buy less, but because I have a LOT of old stuff I plan to sell in the upcoming months.  If I don't have room to display it, I'm selling it. 
Title: Re: The Great 2006 Collector's Challenge
Post by: Jeff on January 2, 2007, 02:17 PM
Grand Total for 2006 = $2995.42

Well, all those Kubricks (Series 7, Carded Shadowtrooper & Acrylic Case, Speederbike Box Set) plus a box of the latest wave of figures (Saga-#053-#062) killed me this past month (which was no surprise).  In the end, I went over budget by almost $1k.  I know exactly what that caused the overage (finishing up my carded Kubrick collection - R2, Vader, Sacul, Fett, Parco Sandy plus cases for all of them), but in the end, I'm glad I bought them this year because it's nice to have them in my collection.

Next year?  Hopefully, since I'm caught up on the Carded Kubrick Stuff, I'm going to try to get back down to the $1600-2000 range again.  I don't know how easy it will be with at least 100 basic figures already planned for 2007, but I'm going to try!  :D

OK, time for my tally:

2004 = $9858.00 US. Approx.
2005 = $6000.00 to $8000.00 US.
2006 = $7343.60 US.

Well the $$$ have dropped over the past few years but not by much, not collecting modern anymore really didn't help as I was focusing on other stuff.  :-\

I wasn't the best with posting last year, but here's a fairly accurate total of my spending.  More than I had hoped to spend, as always, but I'm hoping to start cutting back a little more this year.  Especially after the Mrs. asked to see the spreadsheets :P, and plus, now with a little one on the way later this year.  Here's how things ended up:

Star Wars - $793.77

Non Star Wars - $377.58

Total Spending - $1171.35

I'm shooting for half that (or less) in 2007, we'll see how things go :).  I'm keeping close track once again.  Just for reference the most expensive thing I bought last year overall was the Gentle Giant Chewbacca Mini Bust - $50.00 (+shipping).  A couple other purchases in that same range, but I think that was the highest.

You have more willpower than I do, I had 24 separate purchases totaling $50 or more, with a bunch more in the $40 to $45 range.  My most expensive purchase was the Kubrick Indy and blue Snaggletooth for about $210 total.

- Sideshow PF Darth Vader
- Medicom RAH Darth Vader
- 400% Kubrick Wicket
- Japanese ROTS Bottle Caps
- Sideshow PF Obi-Wan Kenobi

- loose Vintage 15" Darth Vader
- quite a few modern foreign carded Darth Vaders
- Darth Vader flashlight (thanks Tracy!)
- carded POTF2 Luke Jedi Knight Theatre Edition (thanks Jayson!)

Obviously, this is the year I developed my Darth Vader focus and greatly ignored The Saga Collection.

As far as "large purchases" go, I have to say my largest in 2006 was my Series 7 Master Case Order from Robby.

Sure, I ended up the majority of the cases to the local guys, but there is nothing like getting a call from your Credit Card company asking to validate a $2k charge from Japan.  :P
