Lobsterman Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I have a box in my closet containing: Marvel wave 29 Swordsman/Surfer pack Black Bolt/Captain Marvel pack Secret Wars box set T2 wave 2 Ghostbusters box set 2 Plus: Three BSG packs Four DC packs (both picked up for custom fodder) And coming in the next week or two: Marvel wave 30 Infinity Gauntlet box set FA X-Men box set X-Factor box set It's kind of scary when you let these get backlogged, and lay them all out to see what you can sink into the hobby in just two weeks. My wallet is bled dry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinnesotaIceman Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I can relate. This past month I've spent over $300 on Minimates. I'm hopelessly addicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBT! Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I'm actually in denial about most of the new stuff coming out as I simply cant afford it all... I have picked up some sets here and there and had some stuff preordered at lukes from WAY back so that is going to have to tide me over! - I'm also assisted by TRU here being useless with getting stock in!

bilbofett Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Thank God, this is the only thing I spend my money on. Collected Star Wars for years, once the animated movie hit, I couldn't keep up. Minimates are my life blood. I'll only stop when DST stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsomedevil Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I'm with you guys: Minimates Jim Lee Wolverine/Sabertooth Invaders Namor X-Factor Angel/Warpath FA X-Men box set X-Factor box set Black Bolt/Captain Marvel Extremis Iron Man/Titanium Man DCUC Black Canary Green Arrow Man-Bat Power Girl Resolute Snake Eyes The only reason that I didn't spend more is because I couldn't find all of the above's wavemates. It's quite horrifying how much my toy addiction costs. Maybe I should switch to crack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 It's quite horrifying how much my toy addiction costs. Maybe I should switch to crack... Prerequisite link Coincidentally, I just discovered a guy who actually recognized Minimates at the place where I'm "working" for my internship. To paraphrase his words, toys (and comics, and music, and books, etc.) are a vice. Better than drugs or alcohol, but still a vice. Gee, thanks man.

drgnrbrn316 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Prerequisite link Thanks. I'm about to lose the next few hours of my life. You can't read anything on TVTropes without clicking on links and reading more stuff on TVTropes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Collected Star Wars for years, once the animated movie hit, I couldn't keep up. Funny. I stopped collecting SW a long time ago because I couldn't keep up, but started again with the animated stuff. I find with Minimates that I can be really creative when it comes to finding ways to buy what I want. I've yet to sell blood for them, but if next year is like this one it might come to that.

Rheul Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 If they keep hitting at this pace I'm going to have to quit. I haven't been able to get 29 and 30 and FA X-Men and X-Factor I may need to let slide. That will leave me with a lone X-Factor Angel, mocking me for not having the rest of the team. When I started collecting these I promised myself I would only get Avengers. That didn't last. I have two cars a mortgage and a dog. I also collect comics, play video games, and like to blow cash on fast food. Sooner or later something gotta give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
