Snipers! Gah!

Ugh. Sniped at the last minute on Ebay yet again! I really wanted that Prince Adam figure too!

I don't know if it's because I'm trying to avoid studying for midterms, but I have been addicted to Ebay for the last several days. I'm spending FAR too much time there (though thankfully not money).

Current obsessions: Winx Italians, Dinotopia chapter books (I got sniped on a nice lot of those too!), He-Man 2002 figures (so expensive!), and Circle of Magic chapter books.

I don't know why, but lately I've been really loving chapter books. I think it's because they're not only fun, but eminently collectible as well. They bring out my "hunt and collect" instinct. XD

And I'm really loving the 2002 line of Masters of the Universe figures. This is what I get for watching the damn show - the need to now collect something else. I'm needing me some Prince Adam and Teela (Oh OTPs, how you rule my life). And the Sorceress, because her design is 200% awesome. But they go for surprising amounts of money!

Anyway, one Midterm down, two to go. Thankfully we have Thursday off as a study day!

Good lord! Evil Lyn is one of the ones I wanted. I even hunted for her when she was released. I never got the Sorceress Staction figure, but I always wanted her. Her 2k2 design is so great

I know, right? Granted, she was boxed and all, but I still think that's steep for a six inch figure!

Although I hear that the 2k2 line was hampered by too many He-Man and Skeletor variants and not enough of the other characters, so maybe they're kind of rare?

Yeah pretty much the entire last wave is scarce. I don't know if you frequent He-man.org or not (You see, He-Man, GI Joe and Star Wars Winx are like my major obsessions.) But The term "Spin Blade" is like a curse word there.

The Spin/Smash blade variants were still on the shelves a year after the line was canceled, that's how clogged the shelves were.
