High school, wow! Be sure and stop to catch your breath, next thing you know it's time for them to learn to drive, ha.

Yeah - the driving thing happened last year. Now that he drives, he's barely home any more. Has his own car and his own money. He's more of an 80's/90's kid than a teen of 2024. Old school soul.

Found a doc at walmart in a busted up box, couldn't resist.

Also caved in tripwire on Monday, he arrived this morning. Both great figs.

So I've now caved on every fig I skipped from 82-86 except barbque and lady jaye. Probably should just grab them too, when I'm buying another bookcase for display.

Dammit this plastic crack/nostalgia addiction.

There is no cure.

No cure? Hmmm I wonder if I?d be cured if my wife left me and I was single trying to chase girls again like I was a teenager. That?s what kinda of got me away from Gi Joe back in 89. I still went to toys r us and looked at the GI Joe section but didn?t buy anything

Ehhh...im not sure being a single male is the antidote for adult toy collectors syndrome.

If I was single, I wouldn't be passing on all these kick ass haslabs.

Before I got married I never thought twice when it came to buying figures.

Any HasLab I back means Hasbro has my attention for at least another year & a half. I wonder if that’s an intended part of their marketing strategy.

Aside from keeping current collectors interested, I think part of HasLabs is getting new people into new lines. Maybe they were on the fence or didn't know about the line at all. I recently sold a few things to a guy just starting out and tried to give him a good deal, but still felt bad for his wallet.

Well I guess we'd better horde Stingers next then!!

My toy collection is one of my major litmus tests on whether someone was girlfriend material. When I showed my current wife my collection that basically sealed the deal
