lost control of my spending sphincter yesterday

[Dextra]

Was in the lovely city of Ottawa yesterday (the closest -and best- gaming store, FandomII resides therein), and as the subject line says, I lost control of my spending sphincter.
We bought:
-five Cyberpunk CCG starter decks (a good friend pulled art direction and artist on that one, and there's even a card based upon Hellhound)
-2 Cyberpunk CCG boosters
-2 Mongoose books: Magic of the Drow (my pre-teen called the art therein "juvenile", lol) and World Shapers (I think those were it)
-the Eberron module
-2 boxes of WotC Miniatures (the ones with the huge "mini" in 'em)
-1 Neopets CCG booster pack

Sure, the $200 (CDN) hurt the wallet, but it felt really good to support my FLGS, and my friend's foray into CCG illustration.

So- anyone else splurge recently? What were your more recent purchases?

The image of an RPG diarrhea event is just ... I dunno. Weird thread title!

However, I also just bought the Iron Kingdoms Character Guide: Full Metal Fantasy Volume I (which is quite a mouthful of a title.) Normally I wouldn't call the purchase of one book, albeit a fairly expensive one, a spending spree, but considering that we just got back from a very major, expensive vacation (with budget over runs, of course) I really shouldn't have picked it up yet...

I've recently decided to focus my purchases on environment tools. I didn't spend as much as you, but on stopping by frpgames.com my mouse hand got twitchy and ended up buying Taverner's Trusty Tome, Tournaments Fairs & Taverns, Wilds sourcebook and Troll Lords NPCS I. I've spent so many hours looking over reviews online. I'm eagerly awaiting the package.

You had me at "spending sphincter."

 

[JoeGKushner]

I bought two boxes of the D&D Miniatures, Giants of Legend.

Some Vallejio Paints.

Some primer.

Some brushes.

Some regular Reaper miniatures (Black Legion 4 pack) and some others.

My d20 purchases are way down because I have so many books to review these days. Sad thing is there are a lot of books I'd like to buy, but with the books I've got for review, feel that I'd be crossing the publishers by putting books they've sent me to the rear in exchange for my own interest.

A month or two ago I went to Boston and hit a game store in Cambridge and bought the following.

Unearthed Arcana
VanRichten's Guide to Shadow Fey
Ravenloft: Denizens of Dread
Dungeon #103
Dungeon #112

I would have bought Eberron too, but it wasn't out then, the week after I bought it at Barnes and Noble in New Hartford, NY

With luck I'll have money to drop at Gen Con

Have you used those before? I've heard good things about them.
