Hi folks, I'm Mark, 30, Film-maker from Manchester in the UK.

It all started so easy, I could stop if I wanted to. A LOTR bust here, a LOTR bust there.

Then I got into the hard stuff, Friday 13th figures and Freddy Krueger. I thought I could stop anytime I wanted. I could've done. I just didn't want to. I was in control you know...

I dabbled with the Star Wars pre-orders and I still thought that i could give up.

Now I know my shame...

The LOTR line. That's when I knew I couldn't stop. Sideshow had me. I was addicted.

and you know what?


I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(My wallet doesn't though)

Hey Mark, I'm also new here and I too am an addict of Sideshow! I know the joy (when you get something new) and the pain (that your wallet feels) too!

Sideshow could toss a free vial of whiskey-soaked crack into each package and it would be less addictive than their merchandise.

I swore that I wouldn't get into the Star Wars 12" line, but those darned exclusives pulled me in. Now I'm 4 for 4 with the 12" line exclusives, and 6 for 6 with the 1/4 scale exclusives--and that's just Star Wars, not to mention the LOTR lines that have gotten started recently.

I might as well just have my tax return mailed directly to Sideshow this year.
