Snipers! Gah!

[polychrome_pen]

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!

eBay owns...well, not my entire soul, but fraction of it. I love hunting for random things I've never heard of before. Like I'll search 198* in the dolls category and look for doll lines I missed out on. I ran across this the other day and had to buy it:

Baby Prince Brandon! Tee hee. She's got a comb in the same shape as the Rose Petal dolls and she's a pretty doll, so yeah, I had to. (There's one on eBay for an insane amount of money. Then this one is totally reasonable at eight bucks.)

I was lucky enough to get the MotU stuff in stores. I've got Skeletor, Teela, Orko, Merman and EvilLyn. And the EvilLyn and Sorceress statues. I'll look for Sorceress for you at Forbidden Planet, too. I haven't forgotten. I just haven't gotten there.

I know you didn't forget and I know you've been super busy lately too!. :)

I think I really love eBay because of the really unique things you can find. Like animation cells or prototype toys.

Prince Brandon! It's gone a nice ring to it. (Don't worry, that plot bunny won't worm its way into the RP!)

well, we don't know anything about Brandon's family
and apparently he knew enough royal stuff to pass off as Sky for how long before Bloom blew his cover?

Hmm...I actually like Brandon as a normal person. It makes for a good dynamic between him and Stella.
Also, in the RP Sky and Riven (and Varan and Joshua) are already princes.
But damn if it wouldn't be fun. XD

And I always assumed his cover wasn't blown because in Magix, royalty doesn't necessarily act "like royalty." Except maybe Stella. :D
