I realized something when I was at the toy show yesterday.

There's so little I actually want or need anymore that it is hard to get excited about finding toys at shows.

I mean look at what I ended up getting. Sparkabots? Throttlebots? Next thing you know I'll be rummaging through those under-the-table bins for Pretender shells.

Maybe with Iacon and Botcon approaching I really need to look at the Attic of Love and think about thinning things out finally. Maybe the wishlist items should be the only focus and no money should be wasted on miscellaneous older items "just because" I find them.

There may be a definite benefit to setting up a table at the next show in September. I could maybe clear out a ton of things I don't want anymore. Giga has got some action figure stuff to get rid of as well and no doubt Evebird and Mr. B. could contribute.

It'd be worth it and with a 1 day only show it would be fairly convenient to man the table.

I also realized how negligent I've been in keeping up my spreadsheets and the various collection pages here. If I don't get back on track with updating those I'll never know what I have or don't have. That's how bad the size of my collection has gotten!

Surprisingly, documenting what I buy here in the blog actually gives me a record to go back and follow. Blogging the collection actually serves as a decent data backup and taking the photos helps me to remember some of the more obscure G1/G2 shit that I'd never remember otherwise.

Like I'll remember Fizzle and Guzzle in 2 weeks.

Maybe when the house repair work gets done I'll have 3 days to spend in the attic. It definitely has to happen before Botcon.
