What ridiculous, obsessive, but eminently necessary toy-related housekeeping/bit of business did you attend to today?

I heated King Pepora's legs with boiling water, stretched his legs/feet down and froward, then meticulously adjusted his standing angle. My wife was called upon at the critical moment, to lock the new position with cold water from the sink spray nozzle as I held him in place on a board. Took him from precarious forward lean to rock-solid rooted-ness.

I also started taking the Dremel to the latest, in-progress mountainshelf, beginning to grind off all the little bits of hardened adhesive that formerly attached many Schleich dinosaurs to its levels.

Because I just scored a boatload of new toys at SDCC, it was time for a full dusting and rearrange....took 4-5 hours yesterday. I also busted out the hair dryer for my perpetually leaning forward Yamomark Heksen King.

I do this whole routine every two months to keep the toys shiny and have a new arrangement to look at, but I am constantly on the hunt for an affordable cabinet that will fit in a certain spot, which is relatively air tight. Dusting all these toys 5-6 times a year is getting to be quite a chore ( and it will only get worse ).

Started to dig out my toy ledgers. I need to start an Excel spreadsheet "database" of what I have. I think I have several duplicates of toys, which were adopted, because I lost track of what I bought :oops: :oops: :oops: (cough cough Kuolio, I might have an extra buta red magura for your dodongo :wink: ). If you have a database setup, I would love to hear any helpful advice :P

I had recently gone through all my paypal transactions over the past few years, and made an excel spreadsheet up with the manufacturer/name/description/price for everything I could put prices to. I'm still going through and sorting it out by manufacturer and then name (my excel skills are not that impressive, so I don't know if there's any sort of shortcut for this, but I've just been cutting and pasting.)
But word to the wise... do not hit autosum and get the total cost, unless you want your head to explode, haha :twisted:
