Now that we're getting caught up, do you guys (or gals) ever have days where you take a step back, look at all your figures and wonder what the hell you're doing with your life? lol

Then there are other days, where this hobby gets me through other stressors whether it be work or home life.

I mean, I'm not going to stop collecting them, but does make you reconsider why you need 10 cobra troopers. I hope my sons can somehow squeeze some value outa these things down the road, or maybe even myself if I grow tired of them. Anyways, just reflecting as I sit at my desk surrounded by little army men on all sides.

I find it kind of funny that Xamot is a cyber Monday deal on Amazon for $16.99, but Tomax is still $24.99. Also HA Roadblock $15.99 and Stalker $16.99

Yes. That yellow plate works much better than the red. Thanks for posting, Zeebs.

Years back when I received my 25th Anniversary Zarana SDCC Variant she was missing the thigh mounted knife/scabbard.

Yes, I've run out of room on my shelves so they're piling up on the floor but it's my distraction in life...however, I'm going to disclose I don't troop build or buy one to open one to keep MOC so I don't regret buying excess, then I think of the horrible, wasteful things people blow their money on before I think I how my toys value's increased three-fold in recent years

[StalemateSB]

Can anyone who has PP BATS from both Target and Pulse tell me if the red on their visors is different? The ones I just got from Target have a slight blue-metallic tinge to them when compared to the one I got from Pulse. I noticed that the second set of numbers on their feet are different so I'm thinking the paint mix changed slightly between batches? I always assumed those numbers were batch codes, unless someone knows otherwise.

Very much so - a friend who collected records a lot more than me imparted some wisdom recently that has me thinking about all the "stuff" I keep acquiring. Hasn't affected my habits, but as long as I'm keeping bills paid and still able to save money, it's a much better habit thank drinking my life away (which I may or may not be also doing).
