Proof to my wife that I'm not nearly so nutty as others.  Impressive Rob, most impressive.  A little narrow on the focus but we can't all be perfect.

There's tons of other stuff I want to collect - namely Kotobukiya and Gentle Giant - but don't for money reasons, and space reasons.  Someday though.

I've also stopped doing 12" since Sideshow aquired it.  Their product is amazing and makes the line a billion times better, but I can't justify $50.00 on a 12" figure that I'm going to open anyway.  Most of the ones I have I bought at shows for less than $10.00 a piece...



I'd also like to collect horror movie toys like I used to - but there just isn't a place for them... 

New Photos for February of 2020... theoretically this is the last set before we buy a place and I get a little more space...





































































































































































































































Thanks for looking!

Found #3 yesterday... but everything I've found has been crushed - so I'm still looking for one for the wall before I open too many more hopefully.

Rob Vader's Starfighter wasn't made up, I think it was from that Dark Lord book.

EU, made-up... same thing to me.





My latest thinking on all of this is that I'm not going to buy hardly any of this EU stuff.

If I stumble across some of it in cheap bins at collecting shows, I'll fill in the gaps in the collection - but this has just about killed the completist in me.

And I'm glad about that at least.

ICMG has gone from in-joke between 6-7 guys at the old BHC to getting joked about by Hasbro.  We've come a long way, baby, but...we've only just begun

I think this is part of the problem... maybe they think the whole thing is a big joke.

And while it may have started that way, but it isn't. 



The most telling part of that slide was the part that said 'we really listen' or whatever it said...

It only shows that they listen, and then they essentially don't give a ****.

Where's the conference table!?

Yeah, there are a handful of items that I like.  But the number of items that I don't outweighs it by about 4 to 1.

I just have to get over the completist thing, which kind of started happening with OTC with the repaints.  I started buying just repaints that made things into new figures - like troops and such.

But this EU stuff and the made up stuff, and the use of older outdated sculpts and kitbashing has me at a breaking point of sorts.

Hasbro is doing their part to break my mental block towards the idea of not buying at least two of everything.

I've spent around $1300.00 on SW toys (3 3/4" line) this year.

Figure by the end of the year that number will be around $2000.00

With the product Hasbro is showing for next year, I'm looking forward to reducing that number by about 75%.
