damn u are so lucky. like other members stated above my family was also dirty poor so I got lucky with whatever was given to me. lol. I did get to choose figures I wanted when I went to the store. but some figures were hard to come by. so a lot of the really populary ones like Snake Eyes version 2 I never had as a kid because I never saw him in the store lol.

Yeah, but that's 28 that aren't this particular model. How can you squash the completionist inside? ;)

My 25th is perfect, I have the vintage driver, and this one is not carded. I have zero reason (short of completion) to purchase it. I am now incomplete, minus one, on this line.

It?s hard, because the illogical collector part of my brain says, ?Are you sure? Check again!?

I go through that with my Marvel Legends buying. Logic generally prevails, but there's always that moment of doubt. I usually tell myself that if I didn't think I needed it the moment I saw it, I was probably right.

My problem are the "logical" associations and just in general bullshit. Like, "Just spend $15 more and you get free shipping!" even though that's just another toy I don't really want and another $15 I didn't need to spend; or like with the Boss Fight Phantom figures, "Just buy both the female Phantoms so you can swap their waist pieces!" Right now with the Retro Stinger, I've ordered it because it's way cool, even though I never really liked the idea of Joe and Cobra sharing a vehicle and I'm trying to keep this collection light and this is a good place to keep it light, so why am I buying it again? Oh yeah, because it's way cool! lol
In seriousness though, the free shipping definitely strikes a chord with my own buying habits. In fact, I'd say that I'm good with Pulse doing away with "free S&H over $50" in favor of creating a "perk" for the premium members. I always used to add figures I didn't really care about to meet that minimum, now I just get whatever I truly wanted and spend and added $6.99 as opposed to $30 or whatever it ended up averaging. I am somewhat annoyed that my $34 Stinger is actually $41+ taxes, but it's still less than I'd have spent to get that minimum- especially considering that ".99" pricing usually meant I'd actually have to add a third something to get that final $.03 over the threshold.
