Scare Glow

I bought Scareglow today. Mattycollector was apparently having some glitches with their system, it didn't want to approve my credit card transaction.

After 45 minutes on the phone with both Mastercard and Mattycollector/Digital River and then creating a new account and using a another credit card I got Scareglow ordered.

I'm hoping this won't be an issue come December when Winston Zedmore is released.

I'm thinking my Masters of the Universe Subscription might get royally screwed as well.

That's Ninjor in the photo above. One of the few MOTU Classics figures I *REALLY* want them to release.

Way back in the day, My uncle had no children so he used to take my cousin and I to his work Christmas parties (not the one where you get drunk the one where you would take your kids and some poor sucker would dress up as Santa), one year we both got Masters of the Universe figures. He got Scareglow and I got Ninjor. It's one time in my life when I can remember being VERY jealous. Even then I knew the gifts were completely random. How the hell would someone know that I loved Skeletons at such a young age. Well it's about 20 years later and I'm finally getting Scareglow, I just hope Ninjor can join him soon. I really ended up loving Ninjor and his soft goods Ninja Outfit, but man how the hell do you compete with a glow in the dark Skeleton!

Must not buy toys...

It's really hard when you have a Paypal account overflowing with funds not to spend money on figures.

I just bought a new house. That money is for a new TV and shelves.

I don't need anymore Robots, yet I can't stay away from eBay.

eBay = Crack

And I'm a crackwhore!

Not the way to treat expensive robots...

I know a few of you are probably cringing at this sight right now, Well don't worry, this isn't how I store my Transformers for the long term. I had to brilliant idea at one point to take everything down off my shelves and shampoo the carpets while I was at it. At some point I came to realize that there was no point of putting everything back up when I was moving. I had layed everything CAREFULLY in a box for the time being and when I was repacking the figures for the big move, I noticed the figures were looking a little haggard and I snapped this shot considering there's about $300 worth of toys that look like they've been tossed in a cardboard box with little to no regard for their value.

Everything is now repacked with bubblewrap and paper. They are awaiting their new home.

Found an old receipt...

While cleaning stuff out, I found this old receipt in a tote with my Star Wars collection (Ugh. what a waste of time and money, Can't wait to sell that crap off.)

Apparently on that day, I bought the tote, paint, sandpaper and bread. I wonder what I was working on. It's neat when you find a receipt almost 5 years old.
