I've said it before on other posts and I will proudly say it again here - My wife is the best. If there was another choice of "Happily suppports and enjoys it with you," I would have voted for that one. Proof: She absolutely hates going to WM, for anything. But when she does go, she gladly looks for figures to add to my collection. She has even requested a list so she knows what to look for. I scored my first comic pack because of her. She was out shopping with her mom and she went to two stores just to look for GIJoe for me! When I got home from work, I had a bag full of Joes with my name on it. I am a lucky man!

Seriously though, that's very cool. You're wife is a rarity, so don't ever give her cause to dump your action figure lovin' a$$! |

A late reply here...
My wife totally supports and gets it! She's a collector of a different stripe, but is great about my frequent visits to Target. She really gets the 'thrill of the hunt' part of it. I couldn't ask for a better wife! The other night, while watching Die Hard 4, she reposed 4 of my joes into Y-M-C-A poses. Heh. Gotta love 'er! |

I merged the threads so this one has the poll too classic... your a Joe junky and she's a SW junkie.. perfect match.. |

I got lucky and my wife is very competitive. I just made it seem like a contest of who could find new joes first. So far she scored me a Lady Jaye and 2 zartans.

My wife gets a laugh out of it, but she will call me from stores and ask me if I have a certain figure or vehicle and sometimes just comes home with something.
She has won stuff on ebay for me and has found stuff on craigslist for me too. I'm pretty lucky to say the least. |

My wife is pregnant and STILL let's me buy toys ;)
Actually, if you guys want to debate, the real debate. Let's see who's mother-in-law supports what you do. Mine absolutely does NOT! |

my mother-in-law has little memory left so wether or not she approves means little. just happy she knows who i am.
my mother thinks i could choose something better but certainly approves. she collects china and yearbooks of all things and understands the spirit of the collection vs. the rational choice.
