I'm really hoping I don't go crazy with the POPs. I have friends who spend way too much time and money tracking down the exclusives at places like Walgreens, Hot Topic, B&N, etc... and it seems more stressful than fun.

It all began a few weeks ago, when I found out about the upcoming Steven Universe (Hot Topic exclusive) POP Vinyls, and decided that I'd most definitely be buying them when they came out on 12/14 (today). Then, that got me thinking that if I was going to add Steven Universe POPs to my collection, that I should also focus on other franchises (most of which I prefer over Steven Universe) that are under-represented when it comes to merchandise; franchises like Supernatural, Army of Darkness, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The X-Files, etc...
Then, I figured I might as well round out my collection of POPs from huge franchises/companies, like Marvel and Star Wars, just to keep my collection balanced, lol.

So, today, after picking up a couple of Steven Universe POPs, I tracked down a few POPs that were pretty high on my list.
Later this week, I plan on swinging by my local comic shop, which has hundreds upon hundreds of POPs in stock (it's the largest selection I've ever seen at any retailer EVER) and MovieStop, since they also have a pretty good selection. I just hope that I can exercise a little self-control and not blow any more of my Christmas shopping budget on these things, lol !

Oh yeah, I also picked up the Black Series Titanium Slave 1, since I'm contemplating whether or not I want to start collecting the Star Wars Titanium vehicles again.

Dark path indeed.
