OK, so it's a new year, and time for a new list. And it looks like I didn't waste any time taking the "lead", if you will. If you're wondering exactly what this is, take a look
here for last year's thread, which explains the rules and regulations. The only different thing I was thinking about doing for this year was just making it Star Wars related. Anything and everything Star Wars. Of course, I don't really collect too much else, but if anybody wants to add other stuff as well, feel free.
JANUARY 2005Most of this stuff is old, and could have been picked up last year, but I was so busy working all kinds of crazy hours for Christmas, I had to wait till today to stop by the comic shop and get it all.

Non Star Wars total:
$315Grand total:
$2338.933After last year's major underestimate on the total I would spend, I'm not even going to make an attempt at guessing for this year, with Episode 3 launch and C3 coming up, I expect it to be more than last year

edit: okay, so I've decided to just keep track of everything I buy that can fit in the "collectibles" category, even though my spending is 95% Star Wars, I do buy other stuff on occasion. I won't be putting DVD's in there tho, even if I buy "Collector's sets" of DVD's.
And this month's total is somewhat of an anomaly, since I'm catching up on almost 3 months worth of stuff, and had some extra holiday cash to spend. I don't think I'll be spending this much each month of the new year (or at least I hope I don't

)
I can't wait till this month ends already
