A wonderful alternative! I'm sure that'll be a lot more pleasant than head-butting the poor thing.

*Skeletoncrew* · 07-12-2002, 02:10 AM

Just as long as I don't squeeze it too tight!

*yawns* I'm really sleepy right now, but I don't want to go to bed yet for some reason...

**azure turtle** · 07-12-2002, 02:15 AM

How come? I'm kinda tired too, but I felt like browsing the boards first. And I feel like I wanna work on a fic...Nah, I think I'll wait 'til tomorrow to do that.

*Skeletoncrew* · 07-12-2002, 02:23 AM

I dunno. Just don't feel like going to bed yet, but I really am tired. Had quite a night.

**azure turtle** · 07-12-2002, 02:45 AM

Poor SC

I hope you get a good night's rest, so you'll be full of energy tomorrow!

*Skeletoncrew* · 07-13-2002, 04:01 AM

I had a good night's rest...and an excellent day today!

I even found a volumn 1 comic that I didn't have! And it only cost me a dollar!

**azure turtle** · 07-13-2002, 10:59 PM

Wow! I'm glad to hear that you had a wonderful day, SC!

It's rare to find any Vol. 1 comics for less than 5 or 6 dollars...

Samantha · 07-14-2002, 02:18 AM

*clicks over to the offical site* Whew you're right Azure! *murmors, seven dollors for a comic!*

**azure turtle** · 07-14-2002, 02:16 PM

Yep, it's pretty expensive. I recently bought the Return To New York arc, and I ended up paying 7 dollars for the first comic, and 6 dollars for the other two! I also saw a second printing of number 3 that was selling for 15 dollars, as well as a Donatello and Michaelangelo one shot comic, both going for 12 dollars!

Kingkapong · 07-17-2002, 10:12 AM

wow!!! that's crazy!!!

*Skeletoncrew* · 07-17-2002, 01:06 PM

Those prices are insane! I rarely pay over $3 for my comics. Of course, I'm not buying mint condition ones, but I'm not buying junky ones either.

**azure turtle** · 07-17-2002, 01:28 PM

Ah, I see. I like to buy comics that are in mint or near mint condition. That's probably why the ones I saw were so expensive. I'd love to get a near mint Vol. 1 # 1, but that costs around $200. Eh...I guess every hobby has a price.

*Skeletoncrew* · 07-17-2002, 01:30 PM

Yes it does. Speaking of recent purchases I got a LOTR Ringwraith with horse last night! It is so cool! The eyes glow red when you pull on the bridle! The ringwraith doesn't sit well on it, but Venus does...

**azure turtle** · 07-17-2002, 01:32 PM

LOL! Y'mean the dominatrix Venus?

The LOTR action figs are pretty cool looking, but I haven't bought any. I've been spending most of my money on TMNT action figs.

*Skeletoncrew* · 07-17-2002, 01:38 PM

Yeah, most of my action figure spending has been TMNT...but I really like the LOTR figures. They're so well done! I probably wouldn't have bought this one except we finally got it in at work and with my discount it cost me $5 less than it would have elsewhere. I'm going to get Arwen and Asfolath today as well...there aren't many action figures based upon a Liv! After her, all I really want is Elrond and the Balrog. It would be really cool to have all of them though...

**azure turtle** · 07-18-2002, 01:28 AM

Aw man...discounts are nice things to have, aren't they? Hey...maybe I should get a job at Toys 'R Us...then I'd have great discounts when the new TMNT figs come out!!
*starts to plot*

You do? *whine* I wanna get that one too!

Like earlier int he year, I was looking through Hot Topics for any cool (possibly TMNT) stuff, and I noticed that they had a bunch of LOTR figures... plus the Ringwraith n horse figure! It was only $15, but I didn;t have that much money. *sai* I wonder if I can still find one yet...? I heard that the toys for FotR is all that they are gonna make. When the Twin Towers toys come out, it sounds like the FotR ones will be put away.

*Skeletoncrew* · 07-18-2002, 01:26 PM

I picked up Arwen with Asfolath yesterday. I think the Ringwraith figure is a bit cooler. Arwen's action is that her elvenstar glows. She doesn't get a sword. *pout* Frodo isn't poseable either. The horses aren't entirely accurate, but hey they're action figures!

Now that Two Towers is coming I'm having urges to get more of the current figures because I know they won't be available much longer...I haven't seen the Balrog yet though, and according to ToyFare a few months ago it is coming out.

Anyone want to bet on whether there will be a Gandalf the White with his horse (whose name I can't think of at the moment)?

Kingkapong · 07-18-2002, 09:55 PM

hmm... i should start collecting action figures or models again. i've been meaning to start building some gundam models, after building my first model car (ferrari F1)

Loolaa · 07-19-2002, 02:16 AM

Oh wow!! If there was a Gandalf and Shadowfax action figure, I'd definately get that!!
