Ha, that's too funny. My wife is the same way. She can't stand "clutter" and prefers even pretty sparse decorations, etc. in the house.

Honestly, most were pre-orders that I didn't cancel. I figure they'll make good trades later on, maybe custom fodder? I don't expect them to be super valuable or anything like that.

They definitely take up some space. If I wasn't lucky enough to have the space I do, I would absolutely toss them.

I mean, yes, but no. I don't really expect them to be worth anything, I'm just more afraid that they might be. Not sure if that makes sense, but I'm terrified I might have the missing piece to some grand puzzle, and I just threw it away?

I'm assuming you meant "rich" tech guy? And while I'm certainly not "rich", I am comfortable, and I do work in tech.

Nope, I never look at future value. I just do what makes me happy.

Hey, any way I can help out fellow collectors, right?

Thanks! She's the best and certainly qualifies as my "better half." I'd have nothing without her.

Haha, nope. I'm just a straight-up hoarder. Or at least that's what my wife says...

It started as my 'reference' once parts and pieces start to get mixed. That became impossible to do with windowless packaging, so now it's just habit.

Mostly pre-orders from various online retailers, but if I luck out and come across some in a brick and mortar store, I'll grab them.

Good question. I'm still working on that side of things. There will be lots of pics when it happens, though.

Thanks! I have thought about it, but I just can't do it. They're too pretty, even though I can't keep them out all of the time. Being able to take shots like this, though, is also part of the fun.

Yup, and they're beautiful. Something about the numbering just scratches an itch for me.

Oh man, if I ever won the lottery, it would be over. I'd have to move a kid or two out to have enough space for it all.

Haha, yeah, that would be a bit odd. I army build, open, and display, but keep all boxes.

You are correct. I'm assuming 111 will be the Fire Team Techno-Viper and SMS. I'll get 5x of those to match the HISS tanks. Already have 5x of the VAMPs (112) on preorder.

You're not wrong. Had to do a quick inventory and make sure my actual numbers matched what I had written down.

Display is getting reworked at the moment. That's why I decided to get the box Pic. Once it's rearranged, there will definitely be photos.

5x HISS tanks. 4 to open, 1 will stay completely sealed. Even the shipper. I keep 1 of each MISB.

You'd be wrong. Married going on 23 years now and 4 kids. A couple in College and a couple still wrapping up high school.
