The Great 2006 Collector's Challenge

[Mikey D]

 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.

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

I'm in for 2007, anyone else?

I'm in for 2007, anyone else?

I'll be keeping track agin in '07. 

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.

I lost track around June, but I'd estimate that I spent about the same as I did in 2005 which was around $1500, maybe a little less (around $1200).
