compulsive miniature buying

[Mick]

so here we are we go to the hobby shop just because we frequent it..and pow theres the new must have set of miniatures we have seen advertised ..do we

A. buy it on the spot and rip it open on the counter.

B.look at the wallet and try to think how we can juggle this week so it sneek into the house.

C.Tell the owner to hold it we will be right back from the bank.

D.want it but not sure we need to start another army and after all we might start one anyways and this is the majority of the army points wise even though its nearly $50

hehe well im sure we can add to this list..

E. Look in Wallet, realise there is only a few coins and an old photo of you, you hope no one has seen. Then you go to the bank and realise there is more money in your wallet the there is in your bank account

F: point in opposite direction snatch and run

I\'m with Wolf Fang on this, except that they\'re on to me, and there\'s always two staff members with me, now. One to look when I point, and the other to keep watching me.

G: Buy the wife something nice; that will be justification for buying a mini or two.

 

[Ebonbuddha]

H: Point to distract one employee and kick the other one in the balls. Then snatch and run.

optional rule; if the other employee doesn\'t have balls, an eye gouge works good too.:]

I: Offer your LGS painted minis for display, and get a substantial discount!

For me it\'s this option combined with \'B\'! :innocent:

J: buy it with the christmas money you got from your relatives?

K: Drop not so subtle hints to everyone you know that you\'d really like it for your birthday..

L: Sell a kidney to pay for it.

M: Realise you have far too much unpainted lead lying around as it is and that you\'ll never get round to painting it this year..

Do you mean this in the sense of \'I have far too much unpainted lead lying around as it is and I\'ll never get round to painting it this year... so I might just as well buy some more!\'? ???

 

[kittykat23uk]

maybe :innocent:

 

[Ebonbuddha]

I still like my idea. Its more fun and exciting.

@ebonbuddha
not to mention: ILLEGAL! lol

 

[Ebonbuddha]

True.lol

 

[Crackpot]

N: Go home, look through your unpainted \"lead\" and wonder WHY THE HECK YOU BOUGHT THIS MINI or THIS UNIT! Sell a nearly new mini you just bought on ebay (not to mention making 50% price loss). Go back to shop and buy absolute unnecessary (but beautiful) mini.
Reapeat \"N\" next week... lol

O. Sell your blood plasma twice a month..I have a buddy who does this so he can get his mini money. Does it on his lunch time. The wife can\'t say much about this one.

I use to buy lots and the only one I was sneaking it on the house from was me But now I dont buy as much unless its a rare mini I know it will be there next week.

 

[LavronYor]

With Ebay, it will be there forever. and probably cheaper. ( unless it is the one good GamesDay mini instead of the 4 mediocre ones )

 

[Valander]

Well, of course you have to buy it, right! I mean, I heard on another forum (TMP, for those who care) someone say, \"If you\'ve got shelf space left, then you\'re not doing it right. Buy, buy, buy; pile the boxes high!\"



I\'ve actually been fairly good lately... but that\'s mostly because work keeps me so damn busy I don\'t have time to make it to the FLGS. The second reason, though, is that my FLGS is, sadly, not being run very well since it changed ownership around a year ago, and they rarely have restocks or new stuff when I \"need\" it.

With age comes a good credit rating

I just flash the plastic then worry about explining the bill to my wife at the end of the month
