The Plasti-crack addiction is horrible.

I'm sitting here, trying to find Dell coupons to bring down the price of a computer that already has $220 instant rebate and a free 19" flat panel monitor upgrade for $399 (out the door).

Did I hesitate to pull the trigger on a Jafcon prime for $250? No.
Did I hesitate to pull the trigger on a Shining Magnus for $223? No.

...Ultra Feces...Predaking...dinobots...loose lots...G2 Pump Prime...I didn't hesitate at all. I don't flinch at dropping cash on TF's.

Computer, jeans, shoes? I'll hesitate and try to find sales. Go to Subway without a coupon? No way. When I bought my Saab, I dragged out the bargaining process an extra hour and a half over a difference of $100, on principle.

TF's on the other hand...

:crazyr:

I think I'm beginning to come clean...my credit card bill this month is less than 40% of my average bill for the last six months. Now maybe I'll do the brakes and suspension on my car.

Once you're caught up with the figures, it's just a matter of appreciating what you have and keeping up with what you like.



Right now, I'm doing the exact opposite on toys. I've been turning quite a pretty penny on eBay with my recent Cybertron finds.

Wing Saber = purchased for $26 taxed, sold for $55 shipped
Scourge = purchased for $28 taxed, sold for $58 shipped
Soundwave = purchased for $21 taxed, sold for $42 shipped

pre-ebay / paypal fees, I've gotten +$80 out of the deal. The best part is, someone purchased 2 of my auctions ... shipping out the largest box was only $4.

I'd better not ... it's not like you'd need any of this:



I mean, who needs a mini scourge or the mini prime / magnus 2 packs, right?

Who'd want any of that? :rick:

I haven't been to a TRU in a really long time now. I'll probably go to the Times Square one next time I go to the office, but I don't think I'll be going out of my way much anymore. Wing Saber would be sweet though.

I've already acquired the mini scourge set...and a few more RID MOSC mini figures including a stand alone MOSC mini Prime and mini Magnus.

What's the deal with the two packs? Is there some reason prime is orange?
