LA, CA Quote on collecting: "When a habit begins to cost money, it?s called a hobby."

For action figures, yes I do try and buy at least two. I open all the Gentle Giant stuff of coarse. Speaking of which, I will get my Scout Trooper on Speeder Bike tomorrow!!

 

I got outbid on the jappor snippet..which is ok seeing as the person bid 80 bucks. Like VK said, she'll put up another...and then the person that bid that much will kick themselves coz I'll get it cheaper.

 

My goodness! $80 for that! Oh well. I'm still trying to find a UCS X-Wing that won't break the bank.

 

Check out this eBay auction!

I think DH or CBM or my friend Mark needs this. Or maybe we can do like the OC and pool our money together and buy it as a group, then we can take turns storing it. <--Yeah right.

 

I want that! OMG!

 

Yeah, that's a pain. I was bidding on a couple of classic figures, but they seem to go pretty fast. If it helps, I started using a desktop auction monitor called Nabit (it's on download.com) to watch auctions real time. It's alot easier to stay on top of bids, but of course nothing guarantees a win. I'm watching the Vader style MasterFX saber right now actually, there's no way I'm paying 150 bucks in store for it but I think it'll look nice on my wall lol Yes, I am a collector freak


(It's master FX not master'works' oops lol) They've got 3 out right now I believe.

 

Welcome to the LAFF, MF (we all use initials around here, cuz we're lazy like that)! I love your name! Do join in our other threads, and stop by at a meeting or two!

 

Hehe Thanks JB, see I'm getting the hang of it

 

Thanks to people at work I got the following items:
Yoda Bubble bath and body lotion
Yoda luffa
Star Wars ROTS Chess set
Yoda bobble head
Vader bobble head

 

Yeah, MF, welcome! Stop by anytime!

SR, that's great. My boss on occasion finds SW things and gives them to me, but doesn't look like that's going to happen this year. Nothing out there Padme-wise at the moment, anyway. Which is a bad thing and a good thing at the same time LOL.

We had our holiday gift exchange and I got a Bloody Mary-making kit. The New Year will be a great time to try that .

 

Did I mention I got the Lego Death Star and Sandcrawler? Yeah!

 

Yoda bubble bath??! I want that! I'd say "no" to the loofa though...that's getting creepy.

 

I would like the Yoda loofah, if I could find it, but, no -- I'd NEVER use it!

EDIT: finally found the correct spelling for loofah...

 

I got outbid again. ::Sigh::

 

Poor APL. I hate that. I'm sure you'll get the next one.

I have too much stuff. I was putting away my Endor helmet and could not find the box with my Rebel Trooper Helmet. I looked in all of the boxes in the attic and could not find it. Then I walked out of the attic and found more boxes (one of which had my helmet) so I was able to put it away. Man. Too much.

 

I'm trying hard on the next one...55.00 is my current bid.

I'm also bidding on a Disney/SW pin from SW weekends, it's a Padme. Only 5 bucks so far, and I like pins.

 

Good luck in your bid, APL.

I love and hate ebay because while I can get stuff that I can't usually obtain, I shouldn't get it and so the chances of me getting that item is increased when it should be non-existent.

 

outbid on the jappor snippet again..I'll just wait for another. Outbid on the pin at the last second, jerk that did it will pay if I ever see they're name again. And I bought the Christmas Special on DVD...lol

 

Oh sure, you think it's funny now. Wait until you watch it. You won't laugh at all.

 

I remember watching the Christmas Special on tv a long time ago. It was bad.

 

I have two copies of the thing, don't ask me why. One is a really bad copy of a copy, and the other is a not-so-bad copy. I do pull this out on occasion, just to remind myself how bad it really is. Carrie's singing is one thing, but the Wookiee soft porn segment -- where were the censors?

 

lol, I can't wait.

I'm bidding again on the snippet, crossing myfingers it won't get too high agan. It sold for 76 last time.

 

A Yoda loofah? Wow, I have never seen it. Does it come with a bottle of Dago-bubbles?

 

It comes with a bubble bath, but I don't think it is called that. Your name sounds better though.

I also received the PEZ limited edition set. I forgot to mention that.

I must say that my co-workers are really great about getting me things I want. I guess it is because they are nice and I sort of go overboard when talking about things I like.

 

SR, your co-workers are cool. Everyone knows I love Star Wars and I get nothing.
