I thought this would be a great topic to start the New Year off with...been thinking about this and I have a couple to start the discussion off with:
You know you are a figure junkie when you:
-always go check the figure isle when you go to WalMart for something else beside figure hunting.
-you buy something-anything, you can instantly calculate exactly which figure you could have gotten for the amount of money you just spent on something else.
-your wife/children sit inside a car outside of a KMart/Target as you do a quick “Run In”.

- When you go to the same store everyday.......mine isn't even a joke or meant to be funny. It's just the truth. I go to the same 3 Kmarts EVERYDAY on my way home.
Kinda sad, but I really want the Vickie Guerrero figure, but I doubt I'll find it until Basic 13 hits Target, TRU and Walmart. Having Kmart be the only option is just too slim odds right now.

You know you're a figur junkie when....
You look in 50 stores for one figure.

-when you lie about going food shopping because you want to check the figure isle.
-when you phone up toys r us religiously that you get a balling from your mum for running up the phone bill.

You know you're a figure junkie if:
- Each night you kneel beside your bed and pray to find that Vickie Guerrero figure, or the furry Giant Gonzalez variant.....and you're an Atheist!
- You skip going out to parties with your friends on New Year's Eve because you're staying home to catch Figamania on WF.com.
- You've been removed from a Target for bitch-slapping a second grader over a 1/1000 Great Khali figure.
- You've missed work and lost friends spending the last 24 months arguing your side online over the of the Mattel/Jakks debate, but you have no idea who is in the next Presidential election.
- You've ever held a 10-figure traditional Survivor Series match DURING Thanksgiving dinner.
- The topper on your wedding cake was King Booker and Sharmell.
- You've ever gotten a boner in a Toys R Us.

- when your family members call you out of the blue to say they are at Target and are looking at action figures for you, and name off all the people that are on the pegs. lol.
- when you have bags of unopened figures in the trunk of your car and you don't even really remember what's in there.
- when you take all the clothes out of your dresser drawers and hang them in your closet, because you need to make more room to store your figures.
- when you dream about them.

- have your parents tell you that they're proud of you for having a hobby that keeps you out trouble in high school, when really, you just have no friends because you're so obsessed with your figures.
- you give your girlfriend an action figure as a gift (saw someone do this on the boards lol)
- you get others hooked on figure collecting because they wanna get in on the obsession.
- you melt down your figures to make a belt buckle.
- you have your figures as the background on your cell phone.
- you log onto WFigs everyday.
- you go to Wal-Mart with your family just to get a new figure for free from your parents.
- you crush up your figures and snort them.

- when you leave the bar on New Year's Eve "to go home".. when in reality, you went to 2 24/7 WalMarts to see if the late night crew just stocked the shelves. LMAO. I seriously did this. My how times have changed for me. I used to be the last person to leave the bar.
- when the only acceptable reason to wake up at 7 am is to get to KMart when they open to see if they put "the cube"out ye (for the 5th day in a row).

When you are in a store with a figure in your hand and you use the "It's for my cousin/nephew/son for his birthday" excuse.

-When you try to find any excuse/reason to go to a WM or Target or TRU "just to check"
-If you get a tip on the figure findings report, you clear your schedule to go check it out
-You calculate how much money you have and what else you have to pay for based on the number of figures you bought that week.

Glad I'm not the only one that leaves their wife and kid in the car for "the quick run in"  - When you send your wife to the store for you cause you HAVE to work that day. - When you buy a figure just for their accessories. - When you take one last look at them before you go to bed. - When Toyfair is like a holiday. - When you add or subtract elbow/knee pads after each episode of RAW & SD just to keep it more current. |
