Strapped by Toy Fair 2008?
So, if you are like me there is a lot of goodness from Toy Fair that you will be partaking of. Sadly, the money isn't always there. For me, I was expecting Gandalf and Indy... so around $200.
But then I get the old 1-2 of and Armored Obi and kickass Samaritan. So what was going to be $200 is now about $700 
Looks like its goodbye Reservoir Dogs, and I'll be selling some stuff to balance it out  Why did TF 2008 have to be soooo darn good?!?
Not to mention stuff from other companies...

Probably no problem picking up the Reservoir Dogs later.

Re: Strapped by Toy Fair 2008?
I'm still pondering over the life size IM Bust ($700). I could probably afford it, but I think that money could be better well spent elsewhere. Other than that, it was just Gandalf and Indy for me. And the cheerleader, but I think that was prior.

Re: Strapped by Toy Fair 2008?
No Joe, so it was only Indy for me this TF. Babysitter was last week, so she isnt really TF.
Obi kicks ***, but not a version of the character I want.
Gandalf, another great figure, but not a line I collect.
That Samaritan is pretty sweet.

I'll walk away this year with less than a $100 hit. Only Indy for me.

Only Indy for me as well. I love the armor but not that version of Obi so I am passing.

Re: Strapped by Toy Fair 2008?
I'm getting Indy and Clone Obi for sure, so there's $200. I said I was gonna cancel Gandalf, but I just can't bring myself to do it, so there's another $100.
Oh yeah, let's not forget about Amok Time. Gort and Klaatu is gonna be about $114 shipped.
Plus there's still GI Joe and Hellboy 2...
