[QUOTE="Vrecknidj, post: 1493468, member: 7301"] It all started innocently enough . . . . When the Archfiends came out I went to my local hobby shop and offers $125 in cash right then and there for an unopened, factory-sealed case. Lucky me, he had some in the back room. But, I don't see this as a bad thing. I got 128 minis for $125. And, as many others have pointed out, there's the maxminis forum and I've done 6 trades there (mostly two or three minis per trade). Right now I'm missing only a very small handful of minis from all three sets and am looking forward to trading for those few left. Am I spending too much money? Nah. I give myself an allowance of $15 a week. It took me a few months of saving cash to have enough for the Archfiends, but it was worth it. I use a lot of these minis in my campaign, and I play the Miniatures Game with my kids. By the time the next batch comes out, I'll have saved up enough to make the same kind of purchase. When I buy a bunch at once like that I end up with a TON of minis for trading, and I get so many at once that I don't have that itching frenzy to keep driving to the hobby shop to pick up another box . . .
