This financial crisis is so messed up, I've been collecting since my 1st Macross toy in 1985, yes by some weird factor there were 2 of the Japanese release SDF-1's at a Toys'R'us. (Are they still in business??) But now a days its spend money on only what you really need. I've been running my home business for about 7 years now Via Ebay and my website, but the times being what they are, Thats why I am living here in Lawrence, KS now instead of sunny Temecula, CA with an ocean breeze all day!! Also I do have some family here, thats helps a bit!!
But at this point it doesn't matter whether you make video games, your a teacher, retail or a home business. Right now its Darwin's theory at its best until things get better, And really sad that companies like Bandai & Yamato are teasing us with all these new toys that most (Not all) but most us really can't afford. I mean come on, wouldn't we all love to have a mass collection of these Valkyries, I know I would.
Yet reality for me is a trip the mechanic this week for my truck, rent, food and resupply for my Business. Ebay: 505th82ndairborne if your curious....
So in all seriousness, good luck to everyone and I hope you all can hang in there with your jobs and lifestyles, Financially things have to get better, right??
