I mean, my roommate just *barely* pays me the rent on her current income. But even if we did split, why would I want to share the big-screen with her? LOL. >_<

big screens are great! i’ve been blessed to have roommates with similar tastes so we were able to split the cost of one. eventually we did sell it though… but got a projector which is also nice ^_^ (if you have a good room for it).

Holy crap, I don’t think I ever had more than 10 ordered at one time. But 30 isn’t just *insanity*, that’s *lunacy*, even *psychotic*, lol.

So right now, I’m just waiting for my last 5 orders to come within maybe 5 months. That’ll be 97. I’m thinking of 2 more figures based on Masamune Shirow’s illustrations since I love his artwork. So maybe 99. After that, I’ll sit under 100 as LONG as I can. That way, I can finally pay for my first 50-inch plasma. It’s been too long. =_=;

P.S. No worries. Free is free. I guess I’ll save my bracket-smileys for the end of my comments, lol. >_<

All I know is that this is not sustainable ^^;;;

not sure what’s up with the code… i’m just using whatever free theme with the free hosting @ wordpress.com so no clue ^^; i used to run a personal webserver and even hosted an online game but since then got burnt out by all the maintenance (and later dealing with 3rd party hosting when we had larger bandwitch needs) so all free stuff for the moment ^_^

Apparently when I used the smiley after “Damn”, the bracket hid the rest of the comment like it was code. So I removed all the bracket-smileys in the full comment. Hmm, what’s up with your WordPress code? My WordPress doesn’t do that, lol. >_<

Yeah, I included ship/tax/etc too, so it’s probably a combination of my getting more 1/8-scales than 1/6-scales PLUS figures might have been a generally cheaper a couple years ago. On top of that, my last 10 figures in the last 6 months include 4 Figmas (which are relatively cheap too).

But damn, your rate is still mind-boggling (and wallet-emptying)! I’m guessing but @ $700/mo for 6 months, you’ve got about 50-60 figures so soon? Double damn!

on the bright side i haven’t ordered anything in over a week! ^^;

(a) The first 12 months @ $233/mo USD = +57 figures (57 owned+ordered),
(b) The next 12 months @ $183/mo USD = +25 more (=82 owned+ordered), then
(c) The last 6 months @ $67/mo USD = +10 more (=92 figures owned+ordered).

So either I’m losing interest or losing money. Actually both, lol. Maybe after a couple years, you’ll slow down too? LOL, good luck! >_<

Down that low, they really can’t be seen too well, especially when you cram them full of figures like I do.
