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...

Janyary

White Munny - $20
So What figure - $40
8 assort Dunny figures - $120
16 stikfas - $80
Koto Snowtrooper - $120

Vintage Vader - $17.50
$397.50 not bad for almost 2 months in.
I think the only thing thats really gonna blow the budget this year is when those new GG items are released, the dollars will be flying away then.

The problem with America is stupidity I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself

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
