I really need HELP!
I have four original GI Joes from when they first came out in 1964 and a bunch of their equipment and the armor car. Then I bought ALL the 40th Anniversary sets, including 2nds, 3rds, etc. Then I got into 1:18 XD and bought ALOT of that! Then Power Team came out with their 1:18 and I bought ALOT of that!
I'm trying to focus on just ONE-buying all this stuff is alot of money-but I find I can't HELP myself! I tried to stick with just JOES and then began to sell off my XD...then I had a change of heart and started to BUY IT BACK! Same with the Joes! PT stuff stayed-it's cost effective
I LOVE the Joes, but the 1/6 size takes up a lot of space!
BUT...it comes down to this...and I don't know why I think this way but, I picture people coming into my house and seeing me "playing" with the 1/6th Joe stuff-and 'Fighting Man' or not, I get the feeling that these people would leave my house saying "Can you believe that guy plays with 'DOLLS'?" But then I picture the same people coming into my house and seeing me "playing" with XD and leaving my house saying, "Those model soldier sets he has are cool!"
I also picture this...taking the 1/6 Joe stuff in the back yard and setting it up-what kind of look would the neighbors give me? Compared to me setting up XD stuff in the back yard...
I know it's a stupid way to look at it, I should collect what I like, but this is what EATS AWAY at me...
