Yeah, like I've mentioned before, I doubt I could ever give it up totally - but there are times I start looking at what I could cut back on, or drop, just because the spending (and space) issues get to be a lot to deal with. I was just looking over what's left for this year - just in the basic line - and it seems like a lot for the last two and a half months of the year. Just looking at things that could/should ship before Dec. 31:
Wave 7 (5 figures)
Wave 8 (7 figures)
Wave 9 (6 figures)
*EE Exclusive Elite Force Pack (14 figures)
*Comic Packs - 6 regular and 3 WM exclusives (if I remember correctly)
*Vehicles - TIE Bomber (Target), ARC 170 Clone Wars (Target), Obi-Wan Kenobi Starfighter with Hyperspace Ring (TRU), Anakin Starfighter (Green), Obi-Wan Starfighter (Blue), AT-AP (maybe Jan?), Grievous Starfighter (maybe Jan?)
*Battle Packs - Clone Attack on Coruscant, Hunt for Gen. Grievous, Betrayal on Bespin, ARC 170 Battle Pack (Target), "Ultimate" Hoth Battle Pack (Target), "Ultimate" Endor Battle Pack (Target)
*WM Exclusive Max Rebo Band Sets
I'm sure there are a few things I'm missing, and I'm certainly not picking up all of this - but probably the majority of it - and that's a heck of a lot of stuff to try to afford during the holiday season (not to mention if you collect anything outside of the 3 3/4" Star Wars line). Just buying one of each of the things listed above (not counting extras or things I'm missing) would be over $600 worth of stuff in just over two months - yikes.
