The things I find.

Yeah, it sucks when you run out of space to display your collection. You feel that you're no collecting, just hoarding/storing things.

This has been a great morning! I today met a friendly member from these very forums. He very graciously drove all the way to my home from a relatively long distance; and we did a trade that worked out very well for both of us.

Now I am thrilled to have received the following items from him because I had indeed been looking to add these items to my collection for quite some time now.

Here's my morning haul:

Fallout Survival Edition and Vault Boy puppet from PAX 2008:




I couldn't be happier to add these Fallout items to my collection. The puppet is so hard to get these days. I think the puppets only pop up for sale a few times per year.

On top of these awesome Fallout items, I also picked up this amazing Little Big Planet miniature billboard sign. Now I say miniature, but make no mistake about it, this is a relatively big piece. It's quite impressive in person. It commands attention. Heck, even the guy's wife hesitated to part with it; and she's not even a gamer/collector, I don't think. It's just a charming piece and I'm so happy to have it.




It's hand numbered!



Slightly different perspective. You can see that it even has a ladder on the side of the pole:




I really can't express just how happy I am. If it weren't for CE.org, I never would have met this gentleman and this trade would have never happened! I gotta say it was also quite nice to meet someone in person that shares the same passion for collecting.

Like I said before, none of my closest friends or family members are collectors or even gamers. So it's nice to know that there are people out there that share the same love of collecting.

He was the first person that looked at my Murder of Crows bottle and Sander Cohen statue and was as blown away by them as I am.

Nice update like always. That Fallout survival edition is truly a master piece. I'm kinda jelaous.

How i understand you my friend !!! My wife says that is a waste of money LOOL i saw it more like an small/big investment.

All my friends dont understand me either they make fun of me lolo.

Yeah same here, love this site and being around like minded people who understand "our" passion for collecting.

My family didn't understand and still don't but they have seen me buy and re-sell a couple things for a profit so they know there can be an investment property to it and that i somewhat know what i am doing

Don't have a lot of friends anymore, and the huge group of friends I used to have were more interested in doing drugs then anything else... man, I don't miss them (or the old me for that matter). I got only 3 real friends now and they all love gaming so they think PK's and promos are pretty cool.

Stay cool guys, I understand you absolutly. My girlfriend also doesn't have too much sympathy for my collecting tastes but I "trained" her. For her it's just wasting of money but the fact she has countless of dresses, handbags, pairs of shoes etc. it's ok cause she "needs" them.
