searvhing for an SBS any ideas?

[peedee]

Anyone know an SBS guide to help me....
I can only afford one new item this month but there's 18 new figures and busts that I want/would love to own.
I have volunteered to work the night shift as well for extra money...but I am not allowed to chase overdue commercial invoice payments at 3Am for some reason !

How blessed are we for choice right now?

How on earth do you all pick your next purchase.

Hi Paul,

I "try" and limit it to say the least ...it's very difficult as all new releases have a WOW factor .......I work a night shift ..on the streets..lol

Keep on enjoying the new releases !

I'm going to have to stop looking at figure news, with the quality of figures coming out I will need a lottery win to get all my wants.

I have seen 17 figures in the last 2 months I brought one from Tommy's war, the ANZAC.

I don't think my life would be worth living if I brought more than that. I hope to get about one a month, if possible.
If one has the Wow factor, I am tempted but I get a sharp pain in the neck when I drool over a figure and show, said figure to wife. I should have learnt by now.
Never show the wife anything, just plead insanity when a box drops through the letter box.

PS
I have seen 4 in the last two days that I would love. The only help I can give is, wait a week if it still nags then get it or as Chris says don't look at the Figure News

See It's not just me is it.... you think "I'll get that on pay day" and then the bloody day before... these sly sneaky manufactures...bless 'em I love 'em do it again.

I have an image folder on my phone as a wish list,
The file became so large, I had to download the file to a memory stick to speed the phone up again.
Here's todays additions, and they are not even all new releases !

I have no idea how many I purchase on a regular basis, I just get it if I like it sometimes buying two incase I paint one and sell it then I have another. Crazy I know and probably spend to much money on it.

I am trying to be a bit more select atm but just to much nice stuff coming out and with euro militaire only a few months away could be an expensive time again. I seen this week that I am missing five of the metal models mounted kits from the range so these have to be purchased. Joanna has said nothing yet.

Cheers
Tommi

Comparing my grey army size with painting rate became so depressing that it slowed down the buying a lot.
I now also tell myself I do not have to OWN every figure I LIKE. And that helps.

Paul,
The second photo of yours, the Captain of Hussars, I received this last week and I think it's a cracking figure
and at the price it's a steal, it as gone to top of the pile for me. Two other wants are the new Napoleon guard and the Nelson bust.

Joanna may just be humouring/indulging you mate, there could very well be a reckoning one day, LOL

Adrian your wisdom sometimes scares me so much....
I just don't want to admit I can't have them ALL I guess.
I didn't want to grow up either so.......

Kev I use the word collection where I should say theme, I do want to paint them all.
I dispose of the boxes as soon as possible so I have to make the little loves.
