The park idea is a bad one in my books.

It may keep the cost down, but then we'll have guys like Raptor and Collectorman digging through the grass looking for parts or weapons!

Doom on you Mike...I'm not that bad...

I'm cool with having it just about anywhere, even though I think it'd be fun to make jokes of Ed's backyard.  

Where ever it is, you better bring pepperettes Mike...

I know that I've cut back in what I've been buying. Mike can confirm this by how little I've been in his store lately...and I working maybe 10 minutes away.

Although my problem is mostly the money aspect (selling dildos doesn't pay all that well), there's also a limit to what you can buy. For instance, recently I've been planning a move to Nova Scotia. If I go, I'll be taking only what I can fit in my 2000 Toyota Corolla. A MIB Tomahawk isn't the smartest thing to pack into a car with limited space.

If you're starting to settle into a family life, or don't have someone close to you that you can share the hobby with (TMWOAN and She-Can always come to mind), than the collecting can hit a brick wall.

One. An '86 Sci-Fi.

When I first starting collecting, I took a lot of the Joes I had when I was a kid and matched them up with their weapons. Then I bought and bought and bought. This is what I like to call the "First Collection." I had a great collection, but the ex-fiancee thought it was "unhealthy" or whatever. So I sold them.

After we kicked each other to the curb, I realized how much of a drain on assets she was when I had all this extra cash in the bank. So I started again with the 2000-2001 ARAH stuff. Now I'm pretty picky about what I want/buy.

Anyways, when I sold the first collection, I tossed aside an ugly bitch of what used to be a Sci-Fi. He was the first Joe I remember having, so he was the only one I kept.

Canadian law sucks at times.......

Animals have more rights than we do.  The justice sytem in Canada is a joke because we have unelected judges making decisions above the feds.   But these jokers (like this tool Mike mentioned) will be back to do something else as he got a slap in the wrist in my view.  Just pathetic.

I have horror stories about the Canadian justice system. I had a co-worker years ago who went to jail for 6 months for stopping a burglar. He was living outside Calgary at the time and was working the night shift at whatever job he had. Anyways, he took a night of work to stay home with his pregnant wife (who was due that weekend). His wife went to bed and he was in the basement doing some woodworking when he heard glass crunching. He opened the door to his garage, and standing not five feet away is some 6' nut with a Bowie knife.

My buddy, freaking, grabbed a single barreled shotgun and fired at the burglar's feet. The burglar took off, cutting himself on a broken window, which is how the cops nabbed him when he checked into the hospital.

The cops also arrested my buddy. He was found guilty of some kind of assault charge and did 6 months. The burglar, who TOLD the police he "wanted to rape a pregnant woman," was charged and then released because he claimed 'emotional damage'.

Anyways, back on topic. I knew this guy was up to something after he opened a brand new store and then walked into my 'Shop' one night not too long after and dropped $300.

  At least if he walks into my store now, I can throw him out for not having any money.

Wear a gas mask while you're in Hamilton...but you already know that Pete.  :wink:

I have a buddy who goes to school 8 months of the year in Nova Scotia, and when he gets back in the summer, he seriously coughs for a week.

So what excuse do the rest of you have?

Spyware on the computer at work.
