Collection Updates

Wow, 4 months since my last post. I'm far too lazy to have a blog.

Lets see if I can come up with a list of everything I've purchased, ordered and canceled since then. On one hand, it should be easier as I've tried to cut back, even canceling some items that I had several of on order or that I no longer feel I can afford to buy. On the other hand, I've gotten into Spawn, McFarlane Dragons and Halo more, probably spending a little more than I should have.

Canceled pre-orders


Lord of the Rings


GG Rinwraith on Horse Animaquette
GG Elrond mini bust
GG Balrog mini bust
GG Saruman mini bust

Star Wars


GG Royal Guard mini bust
GG Senate Guard mini bust
GG Boba Fett Classic bust
GG TIE Fighter Pilot Classic bust
(of course, all of the above I had multiple orders for, so one of each of them is still on order)
GG Biker Scout Kustomz - I'm dropping this line completely, I have accepted the fact that it looks like crap

New Orders


Halo


Halo 2 Red Spartan on eBay
Aside from that, I haven't pre-ordered any new Halo stuff, not the McFarlane Figures (though I will be getting some of them, just no need to order them just yet), not the Kotobukiya Statue (though I also want that), nor the full size weapons. Oh, speaking of weapons, I did order the two Scaled Halo 3 Weapon props by Master Replicas

Lord of the Rings


The Sauron Mini Bust on display at San Diego Comic Con has not been put up for pre-order yet, so I haven't ordered that yet, and have passed on all the other items so far.

McFarlane Spawn & Dragons


I have so far resisted ordering the Series 6 Ice Dragon (though I want it SO badly, I just haven't wanted to pay $18 for it), nor have I pre-ordered the Series 7 Ice Dragon.
Neither have I yet pre-ordered the Spawn Series 32 figs I want - Raven Spawn and Commando Spawn (I cannot wait to see pics of Series 33, Ancient Egypt)
Somebody is supposed to be sending me Series 5 Sorcerer Clan Dragon
I've got a couple Spawn figures on the way - Mandarin Spawn 2, Commando Spawn 2, and am in negotiations to trade for several of the earlier ones.

Star Wars


Let's see, what I have I ordered...
No new GG mini busts (that I can think of)
Oh, the Entertainment Earth 14 pack (whatever it's called)
I can't think of any other SW that's on order. Hmm...
Oh yeah, MR SDCC Exclusive Shadow Stormtrooper Mini Helmet


And on to the Newly Acquired stuff


Halo


Halo for the PC, pretty fun game
Halo 2 White Spartan (blue highlights, if you care)
Halo 2 Blue Spartan (orange highlights)

Lord of the Rings


GG Gandalf mini bust
GG Strider mini bust x2
GG Animated Saruman Maquette
GG Promo Ringwraith mini bust - thanks to the most awesome guy in New Zealand, Daniel Falconer
Sideshow/Weta Mouth of Sauron bust - also thanks to Daniel(who is awesome)
Sideshow/Weta Balrog, Flame of Udun statue - which is awesome, again thanks to Daniel (who is more awesome than I can say)

A few Hasbro SW Transformers some Hasbro figures, and undoubtedly there's something else I've forgotten. Oh well.
Edit: Of course, I forgot something. The Royal Guard Costume I order freaking 8 months ago has finally arrived. I had long since decided to sell it (if it ever came) but now that it is here I have been rethinking my decision, and just a couple of days ago I submitted my preliminary application to the 501st Legion.

I guess I still ordered/received a lot of stuff over the last few months, but much of it is for sale, I'm trying to trim back some of my lines, develop tighter rules about what I can and cannot buy, and am selling off the stuff that can't abide by my rules.
