Too true mate,for weeks people were after Spiderman Scorpion figures,so when i saw one i picked it up figuring it would help out someone who needed him...yet iv had no bites on him at all,we as a site do need to try to pull together a little more and help each other out where we can.

the best thing to do mate is dive in,if you see someone wants something and you can get it drop em a pm,and work something out,a offer to help goes a long way,and you will soon start making contacts who will do likewise,its also worth just straight out asking if anyone can help you out and pick something up for ya,iv done a LOT of trading on HT and had nothing go missing my end,stuff coming back once or twice yes,but you just brush it off. Dont be afraid to get stuck in!! If you ever wanna have a chat about it just drop me a PM!!!

As for resolutions i need to:
1) Start thinking more about what i ACTUALLY want when purchasing so i can use my money more wisely...
2) Find a way to boost my customising self-confidence,and stop the doubting and second-guessing that currently cripples almost every custom i attempt.
3) Add that Mego Old B.O.B figure that iv always wanted to my collection.
4) Maybe buy a decent real camera for toy pics.
5) Commission a KICK-ASS custom of The Flaming Carrot!!
6) Try to get a 3A 12" Kuan Ti Plume.(then customise the s**t outta him!!)
And last but by no means least...
7) Make sure i get as much enjoyment as i possibly can from my toys!!!!
