Oil has hit $122 a barrel: http://money.cnn.com/2008/05/06/markets ... /index.htm Zinc prices are rising dramatically: http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/05/06/coin.i ... index.html The basic materials used to make our plastic monsters and metal robots are getting more expensive by the day. Add to that a weakening dollar, rising foreign labor and transportation costs, and you can see it's going to be rougher and rougher for manufacturers and collectors alike. Adjust your disposable income accordingly... |

It's probably a good thing, back to bikes and public transport. I still don't understand families having more than two cars but then again.... people ask me why I collect the same figure with so many colorways

Bikes are the way to go. That and I think On-line shopping should become more popular. Which is perfect for me, because I can't get any Vinyl in the Midwest. |

I wanna sell my wife's car and buy her a Sym Mio scooter, but she won't even ride on the back of my motorcycle: http://www.sym-usa.com/scooters_mio.htm Once they make a better electric car I'd like to get one. There's a dealership near me and I always rubberneck as I drive by. Someday.... |

Quote: pics pffft... I wish, the only horse power for my bike is how fast I can move my own legs. However those pictures do inspire me to take my kaiju along with me, I want some pictures of my toys out in the wild... If I'm broke it's not like I'll have much else to do. |

Yeah thats it- I might a buy a private jet or two also, and have always fancied a helicopter. But hey you guys are gonna have much more fun with your horse and carts. Still a private jet will be of no use as oil will cost $5 trillion a gallon, but it would make a hell of a place to entertain my lady friends.

I live in Lexington, and the only public transportation we have absolutely sucks. I live close enough to some stuff where a bike would be a viable option, but not for going to work unfortunately. |
