Man oh man yesterday was an expensive day.
On top of finally dropping down major scratch for a new mattress set I found some new crack that I kinda wanted.
Snagged a Movie Cliffjumper, Movie Legends Rescue Ratchet and I think Brawl, and one of the Real Gear repaints. I'm not sure why I got the Real Gear one though. It can probably go back.
Since the money was flying out of my wallet yesterday, I also snagged Volume 3 of Futurama.
Giga used his xmas present from work and we got an HDMI upsampling to 1080i DVD player for the new HDTV I bought last December.
Holy shit did that, and the HDMI cable, make a helluva difference over the other DVD player!
At least I, image fidelity picky as I am, thought so.
It almost makes ya want to put in a wide range of DVDs just to see how much the've improved over the standard player. The Futurama's look practically like an actual cel might!
I see a Bose sound system for the living room in my future too.
I gotta find that light box today. I'm so far behind in documenting the recent smaller crack additions that I'm going to forget I even bought them.
Yes. That's still the frigg'n point of plasticcrack.com. It was always about knowing what the hell I have or do not have in the collection, though loss of interest since this summer definitely put a damper on that.
It doesn't really matter though since they all get immediately dumped into a box until the whole collection can get sorted and the room remodeled. You may recall I put off the shelving purchases while I remodeled the rest of the house.
And tomorrow, I'm starting the foyer/stairwell/hallway project which will eventually lead to the bedrooms.
I won't bore you with the details of house remodeling here. Those who have a fetish for that kind of thing know where my other blogs are.
Mate, You make mention of purging a fair few TFs from the pile of plastic - yet you continue to buy crap such as those Movie Legends shit? Honestly, the Plasticcrack addiction is uncontrollable, isn't it, & someday I reckon we'll definitely be seeing you check yourself into Rehab - but it won't change a damn thing
I'm extremely selective with what I buy anymore and there's a rhyme and reason for everthing that ends up in the house.
Unfortunately, I can't say for certain why I ended up with that Real Gear repaint at all. It is going back this afternoon.
Movie Ratchet was my favorite character in the film (for what little he actually did) and I loved the "Rescue" repaint color scheme.
Since this one is a small version of that one it works perfect for my work shelves.
Alas, it did come with the Brawl which I could take or leave.
I'd offer to take the Brawl off your hands since I want him and not Ratchet but the shipping would probably be more than the cost of just buying the set. Maybe if I end up knowing for sure I'm going to Botcon I can give you a couple of bucks for it then.
Futurama rocks. Until this year I only had season 1 then I found 2-4 for $20 each at Wal-Mart.
Also for what it's worth I've seen that Autobot Blackout repaint you want at a Wal-Mart near here so he's starting to show up.
Evac???
Coolness.
