I think you could be right Jim that's why I'm trying to give it a really good think.
I wasn't sure about selling my Joes but so far it's not bothered me.
It would be a shame to let the AF go before I have had a chance to see it displayed.
I'm just really getting into Hot toys and at £200 a figure it's getting pretty expensive.
I know I'm going to have to buy the 1/6 BTTF Delorean when it's released which is gonna be £500 too.

Decisions, decisions.

Jim, I remember saying at the time that, instead of getting rid of everything, you should keep one each of the :enemy: :sas: :zforce: :qforce: :space: figures & vehicles.

Yup. You were right, but I was all determined to make changes... Wish I'd just boxed the lot and stuck 'em up the loft.

The real sickener was I sold the majority of the Zoids to Japanese bidders, shipped them all out in one go and about three days later there was a huge natural disaster in Japan. None of the buyers left feedback and none of the toys got returned. Still gives me a knot in the stomach to think of that.

It will cheer you up to know I have lots of Zoids.

I've not been up to much. Since Dolphin arrived the last few bits have been fewer and further between. I did start rearranging all my troops. I also spent last night repairing Rapid Fires. I managed to salvage all my spares. But, mostly not much movement as I'm just too busy.

I'll hit you up to get that CC sent soon, Steve.

Zoids were never my thing, so I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. :D

The tsunami? Most eerie indeed, your instinct is likely justified. :(

Next time you re-assemble the massed Palitoy ranks they MUST go in the freakin' loft.

I've been quiet over the recent weeks/months as collecting has taken a back seat to injuries, deaths, cancer, work issues and major illness in the family. I'd quite like a change to be honest.

Oh wolforrest don't sell it all, you will regret it, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but soon.

That sucks to hear ODB - I hope those things that can get better do so soon mate.

It seems a lot of real life stuff is getting in the way of collecting fun for a lot of us these days. I've not had ten minutes to spare for months now it seems!
