One set to keep Mint In Clamshell (MIC), one set to open (diorama). Extras? Well, they are going to be wounded, maimed, mauled in the diorama.

It will be bloody diorama (not to be confused with bloody diarrhea).

PS - On the finances, the smartest thing my wife and I did, was pay off all our bills before I left full time employment in the USMC. You have got to believe me when I say, it's great not to have a credit card bill of any kind.

We do have our medical bill, the mortgage, my child support, insurance bills to pay as well as untilities. However, those are constant and don't pose a problem. Occasionally, with our dogs, we have "The Vet Bill" from hell, but it's so much easier without the credit cards. I went through a long dry spell of not buying anything and selling off most of my stuff.

Balls -o-fire!!

I'll pre-order many of those a bit closer to the release dates. I'm paranoid after one occasion when I had about five pre-orders bunch up at once.
Kinda played havoc with the budget. My wife was none too pleased with me that time. [img]redface.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

Spawn.com should color code the various boards. The Toy board would obviously be black.

I like the way the R3/Reborn Aliens & Predator packages are tied to their movies. Cool idea. Hope they do something similar with the Alien versus Predator movies.

My wallet is going to sting soon. I ordered:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">At least shipping is free for me, and everything isn't coming at the same time.

Great sunny weather here in Florida.

I'm revamping my website. Retaking all the pictures and formatting them for quick loads for those with dial-ups.

Steve Gleason - I need your address to send you the figures. If you need time to pay that's cool.

Domina Angel (is she on this board?) - I have your address and will ship soon. Nothing has shown up in PayPal yet. I'm not worried, just have not been able to get out of the house to go to the post office. Wife has car, and it's about 10 miles to the post office.

HydraSpawn - We'll work out details later. I'll send them soon.

ChaserFan - I'll send them soon.

Hoping that I get some stuff in the mail soon. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Be careful out there this weekend. There are a multitude of idiots out there.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Brian,
Look at the order again and note the Est. Release Dates. It's not that bad, as long as it all doesn't come in at once.

I started buying cases at Series 7. That also happened to be when I got really pissed off that there was only 1 Sam & Twitch packed in there.

Since Joe @killertoys.com came on the scene, I've been getting my stuff from him. Free shipping (in Florida), decent prices, and every case I've gotten has been at least evenly packed.

Outside of buying figures, I don't spend on much. I only have 8 DVDs. I don't buy music, rarely go to the movies, don't drink, smoke, don't do drugs or smoke pot. Nancy and I go out to eat maybe once a week. We don't have cable TV, but I do have cable internet.

We only have one car now (since the accident) so even our car insurance went down. We do not have credit card bills. It's all paid every month. My car is paid off, sure it's a POS Hyundai, but it gets us around.
