Ah ha, a clever ruse to smoke out the culprits responsible for HT's IM binge, I like it.

What can I say. I like Iron Man and I have a lot of disposable income (this might change as my 4 month old baby needs a nanny so my wife doesn't go nuts).

But just to get into your good graces I have also purchased the majority of stuff Hot Toys produces. A quick rundown of what I have collected

Superman - Superman, Superman Returns, Man of Steel
Batman - Batman Begins , TDK, TDKR, Batman (89) (would also buy Batman Arkham Asylum stuff when released). Vehicles as well
Hellboy
Alien
Predator
Indiana Jones
GI Joe
Bruce Lee
Godfather
Star Wars
Terminator - T1 -T4
Anything Marvel
Avengers
Misc - Like Clash of the Titans and 300

Of course the 1/4 stuff as well (which are my two favorite pieces right now)

Disposable income... pre-2 school-age kids I remember what that was like

Do you work a lot of hours Checkmate? Do you get much family time with the wife and bub?

I'm lucky enough to have a great job where 40 - 60 hours is all I need to give but when I have a proposal or need to get something to the federal government, those hours can be more. Government contracting has its advantages and disadvantages just like any other job.

I would say lately I'm getting too much family time. I have no time for myself or hobbies anymore. A lot of my figures are sitting in their boxes in storage because I'm so busy with the wife and kid. I double time it at work sometimes so I can get home early when they are not there and setup my figures. Haven't had a chance to futz with my 1/4 TDKR Batman. He's just on display but not perfectly posed or accessorized. I know, I know, first world problems.

They're only young once, you gotta enjoy them at that age

Most of my collection is in my office at work. I got told I was moving office at the end of last year because our building is being renovated - all the work was to be done by February but they haven't even started and now it looks like the move will happen mid-year. So all my stuff is packed up in boxes
