Wow - you did it!
I really want Sun, Forest, (and UNBK - I know it's available, I just don't have money).

Awesome!
All this talk of not bothering with being a completist and you drop this.
Talk about getting served :)

Congrats!

He's only complete on secreters, not Skull Brains. SO, in reality, he's only partially complete. Stage 1 perhaps?

Awesome, I know you were really tight on them being MIB, pretty nuts but I guess it must have been worth it. Satisfaction is a good feeling.

If you made the hunt to make sure they where all sealed, why open them now. I would create a display that shows them off but kept them in bags. As for the the figures in the cans either get a dup or a nice display picture.

I'm gonna say that miracles still exist as the employee brain that lives with me was $35. As the clerk handed it over, we kind of quivered like when you find a good score at a flea market and its marked really low. that "ring it up fast so we can run out of here before you realize your error" feeling

fuck yeah for bargains.

I think Brian used to post a picture of his collection where the Secreters where linked with a nylon string...that would be something I could do easily...but having the pleasure to open them is priceless :)

I honestly thought you traded them away.
