*Sigh* Here goes....
I'll start at the beginning...I got my first Minimate about 7-8 years ago...A couple years went by, and I rediscovered it. After a bit of confusion, I found out what it was and I tried to get more. The AvX TRU boxset.
Fast forward to now...
I haven't gotten a new Minimate (or any figure) for at least a month or so.
The last Minimates I got were from Luke (Thank you, again)
The last Legend I got was the Tech Suit Spidey, in June/July.
Collecting figures has started to becoming more disheartening, the fun and fulfilling..
I live in Maine. A small town in Maine. I need to drive about an hour to get to the closest TRU or LCS that carries minimates, or at least keeps getting new Marvel Legends.
Whenever SDCC, Toy Fair, or NYCC rolls around I get excited, but I'm not sure why... For example, The newest Wolverine wave. When I saw Mojo and Spiral, I thought "Holy shit, I'm buying this as soon as these hit!"
I haven't seen those once.
Anytime I see a new figure or wave, I getting super excited. This excitement turns into disappointment when I realize that I'll never actually find them.
I have a job, but most (if not all) of my money, has been going towards saving for college.
Unfortunately, I think my time has come. I'm just hurting myself whenever I see new stuff be revealed, and I just can't afford to ship them from all over the place.
Thank for reading my incoherent rant/ramble. I'll still swing by here and there (Probably all the time, because I'm stubborn like that)
Thanks for the good times....
