Ok everyone I need some serious advice here
My dilemma is........
-should I cancel some Sideshow pre-orders and get a brand new 46" or 40" (have not decided on the size yet) Sony XBR2 HD 1080p LCD TV
OR
-should I keep all of my sideshow orders and get a TV later, say
about a year from now
Now the TV is going to cost me anywhere from $2500 - $3000 depending on the size I get, so with that in mind I have to do some serious cut backs on my collectible spending. The main reason why I want to buy an HD TV right now is that I just got an Xbox360 and really want to get the full experience out of it using 1080p picture quality. I am currently playing on a Sony Trinitron 27" flat screen TV, which looks great, but I know it can be so much better.
The thing is there is no way I can afford to pay off all of my collectibles and a TV at the same time.
I have a lot of stuff on pre-order with Sideshow and I just don’t know what I should cancel and keep. There are some items that are definite keepers, but others, as hard as it may be, I think I can part with.
The other issue is the availability of space at my house.....I currently don’t have much left for some of the larger items. But, as us fellow FREAKS know, we can always make room if we have to!
Here is a list of items I have on pre-order with Sideshow. I’m listing them in order of what I think I should keep, cancel, and what I am on the fence about.
