I know how it feels to loose it all, that's a feeling that will put you on your knees as quick as a kidney stone! Unfortunately I've experienced those also.

Nice new stuff there! Looking forward to watching your collection grow!
Thanks! I'm just exited to be apart of such an awesome community.
You guys have some amazing stuff.

So how did you like getting the face out of the plastic box?

It was a PITA for me

Haha yeah great way of putting it

My fingers started to hurt trying to pry it lose

Finally took scissors to it but managed to open it without cutting

It really is way way too tightly closed

Just started reading through your posts. As someone else already mentioned, I gotta salute your attitude toward the whole thing. Not much you could have done differently, but you seem to have handled it as well as anyone could. Your collection is looking awesome already after just a few short months!

It also got me thinking. You (hopefully) were compensated by your insurance company, which put you in unique position to rebuild your collection from the ground up.

I know I've made a few purchases here and there that I wouldn't make again today; and, given the same amount of money to spend, I would choose to rebuild somewhat (not totally) differently a second time around.

What's your approach? Are you trying to re-buy everything just as you had before or are you taking a more fine-tuned approach this time?
