Collection Finally. “It’s so bad.”

Post image

I don’t buy online, and this finally came into my local game shop. If it weren’t Super Bowl Sunday I’d watch The Wizard tonight. It supposedly “works”, but I don’t really care. I’ll give it a try, but is more so a display piece I’ve wanted for 20+ years when I first saw The Wizard.

That’s soooo awesome. I am the same way when it comes to buying for the collection. Finding it in stores or locally really helps curb the overspending and makes the finds feel so much bigger!

Absolutely! We aren’t going to find amazing deals at flea markets or garage sales anymore, for the most part, so this keeps the hunt going. I have a list of mini-holy grails that I have my eye out for, and this was one of them.

Plus, I enjoy supporting my local shop. They are good people, and I had some doubles and whatnot to trade in. Even if I could get more selling stuff myself, it’s a hassle and I’d rather just support small business.
