It's all Jims fault. I found him on ebay, bid on one of his pins ... won ... bid on a second pin ... won. Then he taunted me with a TZ ... bought it! Now all I do is surf the net researching pins ... when I am not playing in the basement.

Now I have 3 in the basement and find myself testing my wife about getting another ... and you know the scary thing she isn't saying NO!

Just waiting for a few parts to arrive to improve a few things. Man this is fun (expensive but fun).

Please don't anyone tell me about any more pins for sale ... unles it is a STTNg or LOTR or ...

Yup, I woke up one morning and had 11, all in various states of assembly.  It's the thrill of the hunt I am afraid.  Can't afford it but am picking another one (presold) and possibly another and a video game tomorrow.  Yikes!  Stached here there and everywhere (trying to get them sold).  It's a slippery slope my friend, but welcome to the club.

Load up while this lasts....

... because at one point it "WILL" stop  

(...take it from a guy who's got to pawn-off his nice vids
to friends and family because the wife won't allow any games in the laundry room...   pffft !  )

Cheers,
Steph

I suspect you are right. I will have to buy my wife a nice Xmas present this year. Something flashy that doesn't plug in. Though she does enjoy playing Twilight Zone and really likes the old style bells and chimes on the Flicker machine.

I also agree that it does seem to be about the thrill of the hunt.

Funny how that happens.  Mark got me interested, Doug hooked me with a nice F14 - now I'm sitting with 3 and looking too.  The vid collection hasn't taken a back seat but they are riding shotgun...
