(Not sure if this is where I should post this, so please move if it fits better somewhere else.)
I had a scary moment today. I was looking at late notices for two different bills, and thinking about how my paycheck wasn't going to take care of both of them this week, and I almost decided to sell off most of my vintage Playmates collection.
I've got close to 200 items, all MIB/MOC, everything from Fan Club Fliers, Pop-Ups, Krang's Android Body, 2 Ninja Action Sets, Shogun Shoate, Shogun Triceraton, to a ton of foreign Hero Turtles vehicles, Japanese exclusives, and just tons of crazy variants and rarities from the tail end of the line. That's only scratching the surface and I couldn't deny how much $$$$ I had there. To top it all off, 90% of it just sits packed up in my closet for lack of a better place.
Oh, I was going to keep a set of the original 10-backs, and a few of my favorite vehicles like the Pizza Thrower and the Ninja Grapplor, but then I was gonna sell the rest.
But I've been mulling it over all day and I just can't do it. I might not be able to display them now, but someday I'll have a room to do it, and I mean, a room. I've always envisioned a room in my house dedicated solely to TMNT, with my vintage Playmates collection being the main display.
I won't give up that dream just because of a measly bit of debt, an empty refrigerator and a car that needs gasoline.
Anyone else ever had to make a decision like this?
