Its because of things like this I am glad of my habit of buying two of something and only opening one. I have an the entire unopened collection of SJ monthly minus the first issue. I don't even have an opened version of that.
I have a ff3(6) for super nintendo. It is my prized possesion even though I own no SNES. It's in the box but there is no wrapper so I don't know if it is opened or not. Its definitely in there though.

I also have pong. but it is used. alot.
I have an unhealthy addiction to pong.



Anyhoo, that was all way off track. I saw a genesis sword for sale inside of a blade shop and nearly had a heart attack, then saw it was $600. I went back to the shop once a week to make sure it was still there (2 mile walk from home) Then about 2 months ago I walked in to find It had been bought. I was so sad, but in hindsight it would have been a terrible waste of money for me to buy it and just look at it.

I've nearly blown money on lots of ponies and a fanmade zack fair statue, thankfully I'm frugal.
