Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Already hooked with the first one? Oh fck, you're done!

Seriously, Surfer is very cool, and your projected future picks are too. Prepare for the ride of your life.

Last bit of advise, pace yourself, and get sturdy/bigger shelves! You're gonna need them. Good luck.


P.S. As for this HULK? Artstation has Daniel Bel's digital renders up. If that wonderful detailing lives up? We have a HULK!

I think seeing this first one just solidified how awesome I hoped these things would or could be.

Yeah will definitely pace myself, as I mentioned before I'm not on a quest for a massive collection. I think one day I would like to have a reasonably stocked Moduspace system in my basement lounge area. I e-mailed a place that reps them in the GTA to get some recommendations. I would like to see a PF Thing as you mentioned. Would love to pair that with Hulk.

The Hulk............................I think it is going to be beyond epic. Time will tell.

As with the flight of the mighty crow, you're on a collecting roll, be mindful on how fast and high you soar. Between now & HULK, I can't wait to see how far gone.

Welcome to the club, you've been infected & there ain't no cure, done.


HULK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha Thanks man. I think I am exercising some self control. There are a number of pieces available right now that I would really love, but I am pacing myself. With that said if a deal comes up on one of them I likely won't turn it down. The Gladiator Hulk from Sideshow is another one that I am watching. If I see a daily deal for 20% or more off I can see myself pulling the trigger.

I love Godzilla and Kong stuff, and am impatiently waiting to see what Prime 1 or someone offers related to the new movie. If there is anything really special from that, it will be instant pre order for me. As such I am keeping the rest under control.

I do really like the payment plans for some of these pre orders. Have the Hulk and Frankenstein on $100 a month till they show up. Very easy to absorb that way and just make sure I chuck money at my credit card when I have it. At the same time I can see how it could easily get out of control.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Yeah. I believe he's programmed to post a negative comment to all Sideshow statues. Don't matter if the statue is amazing, as long as its from Sideshow.
