I think writing a very long list of everything I want has been helpful. It gives me a bit of confidence that I won’t turn round in a couple of months and find there some stuff I actually really want that I’ve just been ignoring. I’ve been extremely diligent this year so far keeping track of my spending, I’ve always kept track of it but I’ve taken it a bit further this time in comparing it to my budget and what I expect to be buying. My goal is have my cheapest year since 2020. I’m on track at the moment.
Once again I’ve got lots of things to sell so that’s been a bit of my focus. So far I’ve sold more than I’ve bought. I haven’t bought any Transformers yet but have had the first couple of Legends. Wolverine finally arrived. He and Deadpool are great, I really enjoying messing with them. As much as I enjoy the MCU, Hugh Jackman Wolverine is a part of my growing up (like Tobey Maguire Spider-Man). And Chameleon, he completes my 6” Spider-Man lineup. It’s quite an appropriate figure to finish up as my first ever Spider-Man toy was a Chameleon figure from a pack of Frosties in the mid 90’s. Finally, Ms. Marvel! Did a bit of parts swapping (exactly like I did with Marvel Universe). Very happy to have her finally.
Liokaiser! Really happy it’s him, and with a Deathcobra to boot. It’s always a little bit of a nervous time to see if a Haslab will get over the line, but once they added the Chinese orders it got there quickly. There’s a few promising hints about upcoming figures but nothing anywhere near as exciting. I have to admit that my mind immediately went to thinking how much I also want a Road Caesar. Looking at some online polls for most wanted figure, JRX and Metroplex seem most popular. I’d get either but Metroplex would be my preference.
So quite a quiet month really, I’ve sorted through quite a lot of stuff, the drawers next to my desk were a bit of a disgrace so they are organised now. I identified a few more bits to sell as well working out what custom projects I might work on next.
