Providing I can stay off ebay tonight, June's total is:

$$654.94

Year to date total:

$$3898.23 :o

that should probably be downgraded by a couple of hundred, considering Andy is a dick and I sent some stuff to Dale to cover the Early bird set.  But I probably missed some stuff, so I'll leave it as is.  

Not much left in Vintage now, two biggies (Yak Face, blue snags) and then a big slow down should occur.  I hope :-\

Hoping to trade my old SW and McFarlane stuff for all the OTC/VOTC needs.

well, i knew that it wouldn't last. the yearly estimate, that is. looking at this, would it be safe to estimate that i'll be spending $7000 this year?? that seems ridiculous to me, but since i spent $3500 over the first 6 months, and there are a lot of things being released later this year i want... i'll just have to wait and see. plus, if sws.com keeps "finding" all these neat things in the lucasfillm archives, there's no telling where my spending will end up.

This is the first time I have really kept track of my collecting spending, and it has been a little surprising to me.  I have always assumed I spent around $30/month, but this year has been higher than that.  I'm nowhere in the same league as some others I know, but still higher than I thought it would be I guess.  June and July have been larger months than usual for me though, so that doesn't help things any:

June Purchases
Captain Antilles - $4.99
Tie Fighter Pilot - $4.99
Tanus Spijek - $4.99
Han Solo (AT-ST) - $6.00
General Madine - $6.00
Bossk - $6.00
Dengar - $6.00
Princess Leia w/Glass - $9.99
**Non Star Wars**
Gandalf the White - $6.99
Pippin in Armor - $6.99
Gimli - $5.88
Spider-Man 2 Magnetic Spidey - $6.00
Spider-Man Classics Black Spidey - $6.99

July Purchases
Luke Skywalker (Dagobah) - $4.77
Yoda (Dagobah) - $4.77
Obi-Wan (Spirit) - $4.77
R2-D2 (Dagobah) - $4.77
Cloud Car Pilot - $4.77
Leia Bespin - $4.77
Lobot - $4.77
Han Solo (OTC repack) - $4.77
Han Solo (Vintage OTC) - $10.99
Princess Leia (Vintage OTC) - $10.99
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Vintage OTC) - $10.99
Minimates Pack (Spidey, Carnage, Thing, Dr. Doom) - $7.99
Minimates Pack (Spidey, Doc Ock, Cap America, Absorbing Man) - $7.99
Carnage (SMC) - $7.99

Total for the Year (Star Wars) - $300.35
Total for the Year (Everything) - $389.76

That doesn't include a Vader's TIE I got, since I used a gift card, and a few other birthday gifts.  Also a couple of Spidey comics along the way.  Like I said, more than I expected to spend so far this year...but not as bad as it could be (at least that is what I tell my wife ;))

Brian, just point your wife at this thread.  After she see's what Adam and Dave have spent, she'll think you're positively sane :-*

yeah, but it was a cheap one, i saw it (you lucky bastard!) - besides, it's the middle of the month, and if that's all you've bought this month, then i'm probably ahead of you  :P

look at us, arguing over who's spending more money on this crap

Noooooooooooo, today was cheap, rest of month wasn't.  Though in theory it should get cheaper, lessen of course I keep going on that stoopid trilogo carded crap idea.  

Hi Mrs. Mosnab, Brian's very sane.  Really ;D

Hey Dave, race ya to SSW.com so we can buy that Yoda print ;)

don't tempt me. i'm this close to buying some of the new jersey's that they have especially the "assassins" basketball one, and i really want that boba fett print as well. yoda and vader are nice as hell too, but if i could only get one, it would be the fett.

looks around room to see what he can sell on ebay to make enough money to buy fett print

I think you might have me now Dave.  July was kind of inexpensive, relatively speaking.  I think Dale shipped that blue Snag, so maybe not though :-\
