$17 shipping for bt meister? ok...
watching a few. :\
Dude, he's the size and weight of a brick (and color!). Also, the shipping cost includes insurance plus the cost of boxes, bubble wrap, etc.
As for why I'm dumping them on ebay, basically the fact that the last few figures in the line were nearly impossible to get, plus the fact that it's now a stagnant line with nothing else to get, kind of diminished my interests. I'd rather focus my attentions on upcoming stuff or on patching those big holes in my G1 collection. (Also, getting married and buying a house and getting a real big boy job kind of changes your priorities just a tisch.

)
ahhh... that explains it... *WHIP CRACK* LOL
Btw, with a real big boy job, you could afford the harder to find final ones to complete your collection.

I hear ya tho - been there. I just packed my away in boxes for years and did other things. Now i'm buying a display case and showcasing them. You might find, when you have a son and he starts to turn 5, you might have had a nice common interest tho - and you could give them to him over time and watch him enjoy them also. Just food for thought - but good luck in your new priorities. Best wishes.
On a serious note, choosing the right woman is honestly the most important decision you will make in your life. More so than your schooling, job choices, or buying a house or anything. A good woman will challenge you and keep you grounded, matured and be a blessing in your life thru good and bad. But choose the wrong one, and it can tear your life apart - not to mention your finances. You can change jobs, buy/sell houses, but you lose the woman you marry, and the next 20 years of your financial life will be ruined - especially if kids are involved. I hope you got a good one. Best wishes to you!!
