I personally own five. My first was Harley Quinn with Mallet (based on her classic TAS outfit), followed by Billy from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers unmasked in his Ranger suit, Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa and Shantae.
I only went with the idea of buying Pops for the girls because I bought Mario and Luigi that set of six 12-inch Power Rangers action figures and wanted to get the girls a comparable gift. That and Pops are on average $15 before taxes and shipping, if applicable.

Me either. Got a sister in law that collects a room full of pops and i just dont get it. But for fucks sake, i used to have a room full of video games i could emulate so i cant really bitch because i get it lol.

Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
I got away from collecting games because of emulation tbh. I got more into buying vintage clothes because I like having a functional collection I can't simply access for free if I felt like it- I have to hunt down pieces and find things no one else has.
Right now my room is cluttered with vapes... I probably have 20+ devices from my company just sitting in a box. I can't give them away fast enough!

Vintage clothes sounds pretty cool as an old guy lol. Any market for cross color jeans lol. Got a few pairs ive kept for 30 years i guess. Bought a few vision street wear shirts i used to wear back in the day. Love the old brands
Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
When I first started getting serious (well, more serious) about moving to NYC, I focused more upon downsizing a lot of my collection. Basically, I already had transferred my DVDs and disc-based games to Targus cases. And if emulation was a viable option I went that route. Keep in mind this was '09-'10 so emulation was, for me at least, strictly on PC for the most part. Granted, I abandoned this route with Blu-ray discs, especially with box sets and boutique releases.
And with the rise of digital gaming storefronts owning physical media hardly seems worth it, save for large Switch games. My rule is if it's over 10GB, try for a physical release.

I'd genuinely be interested in taking a look at what ever you have if you'd be willing to part with it. I want to start a booth at the vintage clothing swap meets that happen around here so even if it doesn't fit me I might can make an offer for the lot.
Any decent finds that fit me go straight to my closet though haha.

Baking pro tip: If you are out of rolled oats you can still use quick oats in oatmeal cookies, just make sure to measure by weight instead of volume (assuming you have that information) and plan on your cookies to be a little crispier and crunchier and not quite as chewy.
Also, thanks to the Gaming History Foundation's Gaming History Hour podcast I learned that the short phrase "Pro Tip" really did begin with GamePro magazine and is now in use even in England, despite them not having our GamePro magazine. Despite GamePro not being the greatest gaming mag, it has had an indelible impact on English language culture, even beyond video games. Whoda thunk!

Local natural food store has 50 pound bags of oats. Always been tempted; looks like a good addition to my survivalist stash.

I have oatmeal for breakfast nearly every day, so we buy them in 25lb bags.
