snowball effect

Well, since I have effectively popped my pre-ordering cherry, things have gotten a bit crazy.

It all started with [livejournal.com profile] jimithingy actually pre-ordering the Wii, something we've never really done for a game or system before.

Then I effectively pre-ordered my MINI.

And last night, I went ahead and pre-ordered the next wave of Buffy figures. Now, I know, you're thinking "Sam, didn't you just buy a Drusilla and Oz set from someone in the DCSWCC?" and the answer would be yes - though those were the original Dru & Oz figures - made by Moore Collectibles (and honestly I can't bring myself to open them). These are NEW from Diamond Select. Plus, PLUS! with these figures, you get a piece of The Judge (that "smurf" villian from the first half of season 2) and if you collect them all, you can build him! So, you see, I really had to pre-order them ALL. I couldn't just have an arm and a leg of the judge. nope nope nope.

Um...and since I was pre-ordering anyway, I went ahead and bought "The Wish" Cordelia figure...which bumped the price up to over $50, which meant I qualified for 2 free figures...so I got Season 5 Spike and the BuffyBot figure...

yeah, internet shopping is bad!!!! I really will stop now until after christmas....really I will....

haha, but then there's no surprise! I'm thinking about asking for a gift certificate for the online buffy store for christmas, that might be a good plan. Then I can pre-order Mr Gordo or Feigenbaum (the bunny).

And internet shopping is evil. and Sales are evil. Especially sales that happen around the holidays because I neeeed the figures.

You will notice I have yet to purchase the Sunnydale High Library playset. I'm hoping Santa brings me that one. :D
