:hs:

I'm sorry man, I've said a lot of things I shouldn't have ... I'd hate to botch what we have on something like that.

"I'll do anything to get onto his blog without buying"
"$150, that's crazy"
"always go with Trainee007"

etc

 

well, 0 has no chance of coming up.

for 1: the pick-3 total can only be 10 (and the chances of pick-3 totalling 10 or under is quiet slim)

for 2: you have 11 or 20.

for 3: 12, 21, 30.

for 4: 13, 22, 31, 40.

etc.

so you can see the people to be pulled out of the bag first would immediately get the shaft.

oh, i took an course on probability, can you tell? h:

edit > actually, the highest pick-3 can get to is 9 9 9, right? so, 27 is the upper limit. perhaps it would be mostly even across.

anyway, ham-a-roo, bugs are shipped: 0305 2200 0000 3839 9125

 

Isn't the Armada series about them trying to find all of the mini-cons scattered everywhere? I think I may have seen an episode or 2 of it. I picked up one of the dvd's with Energon episodes and that series just bugs me from the 4 episodes I saw. So, of the recent series Cybertron > Armada > Energon

 

:eek3:

Just totaled up the incurred TF damage and upcoming TF damage to the checking account for the month. :noes:

The KO's really put me over the top this month. I've hit the point where I'm really uncomfortable with the amounts due up this month. I'm right at the limit of my "comfort zone".

Other than the already factored in pre-orders and the raffle (if we do it), I'm halting TF purchases for the month. I'll start buying again in April.

Gotta remember, TF's is just a hobby. :happysad:

 

It's too bad you don't use USPS because you could take advantage of the free eBay boxes. :hs:

:chuckles: The shelf that I kept the TFC's on before I sold them is now full again. :sad:

 

^

you've purchased a lot of figures outside of G1, that's where you're taking a pounding.

Lio Convoy
Big Convoy
Gigastorm
Armada Prime
Armada Powerlinx Prime

and ...
loose 20th Prime

that's about $300 right there, I wouldn't blame it on the red foots. :hs:

 

this last run is not something i want to be doing every month. after all, i have a house to buy and a wedding to pay for.. :hs:

 

Buy the house, skip the wedding. :crazyr:

 

Right now, we're on the bleeding edge of TF's. If someone were to stroll in here, their heads would spin because of all of the information. Here's some possible headlines ...

"new knockoff jets coming soon, 6 confirmed, 31 combinations possible"
"new knockoff minibots coming soon, confirmed"
"new red foot prime coming soon"
"2nd variation of the crystal cassetes coming soon"
"dinobot replicas slated for late 2006"

news about the Crystals broke and sparked a 7 or 8 page thread on TFW.
news about the OP replica made a 30 page thread.



I've been a true collector since late 2003ish. There has never been a time where G1 variations are being made. You'd see a KO on eBay and battle it out with 100's of others. It's not like that right now.

Can you imagine if Derry were to cut loose all 10 red foots? They'd go for $200 - $300 each. If a simple, clear tape set can do $120 shipped ... imagine an entire Optimus Prime.


by no means is this hobby cheap ... collecting bottle caps and buttons is cheap. Rest assured what you are buying is something really special ... and that's all your buying is high valued item after high valued item.

 

I didn't mean to put a downer on the thread.

Yes I can't blame it all on the KO's. There's just been a spate of "once in a lifetime" deals this month that were impossible to resist.

Red-Foot
Clear Tapes
OG Tapes
Blue Magnus
Primus
Constructicons

No one to blame but myself. I've just got to cool it for a while, that's all. No way I'm saying "I'm done". Just got to slow it down & re-evaluate the direction I want my collection to take.

I'm definitely not going to miss out on the KO opportunity we have. But to do that I'm going to have to curb some of the other TF tangents I have taken recently.
