I found some of the packs out in Oshawa today.

Why does my name get mentioned with army building  

Honestly, I don't army build like I use to.  I use to be on the army building bandwagon before it got full.  But I decided to jump off before it crashed.  Gone are the days were I can get the guys I wanted for less than 15 bucks CAN.  Once I became a completist and went back into foreign collecting, something had to give.  But when I see a chance to get 10 in one shot, I tend to go for it only if I buying the items in person.    

Also I refuse to army build JVC style figures.  That saves me some coin. I only go after the the better looking ARAH figures.  Keeping that in mind, Bats V1, Snow Serpents v1, Vipers v1 and Crimson Guards v1 are the the guys that I have most of.  My target number is around 20 guys.  That was the case until the cobra infantry sets were released this year.  That number is really unlimited because each guy is different.

greekginogods is my ID

And the reason why my ID is like that is

"greek" = comes from Pete The Greek
"gino" = is what people call one of my brothers
"god" = is for my other brother who likes to call himself Nikos The God of War

So when I created my ID back in 2000, my brothers could use it for any auctions they wanted at the time.  They got there own accounts after they got confortable with ebay.  

Also, I snipe and don't care who is bidding if I want the item.  I don't care who has bid nor who has the highest bid at the time.  I don't pay attention to that.  It's the price I pay attention to.  I win most of my auctions I bid on.  ebay is fair game.  I only have backed off once on a item as I knew Justin Barnhill wanted it couple of years ago (we email each other often). Other than that, if decide to not bid because I knew the guy, then I will never get the items I wanted either.

Now I just have to figure out how to brainwash Loop, Pete and whoever is local to buy that stuff for me....how about some  

I am technically not a local as it's a good drive to get there. Local to me means some one in the Hamilton area.

For a minute there, I thought my collection was stolen  :shock: lol Then I realized I have more than that. That is scary.

Holy sh*t  :shock:

5,200.00 for Cobra Commander.

Money to burn I guess.

Ok, is there anything unique that you can think of in your cities that may be of use for other guys that may travel to them one day.

I am in Montreal on business for a few days.  I found out yesterday you can't make a right hand turn on a red light.   :shock:  This gets a big WTF from me.
