Only sometimes I'am doubting how many Snow Serpents I've got, or how many Overkill's I got (I make armies of the v1 version) but I know all the types of Joes I've got, and I never have buyed a figure that I already have by mistake. Perhaps it is because I'am fairly new in collecting joes (less than one year). __________________

I've got mine in shoeboxes, plastic shoebox cases, Ziploc bagged, in copier paper boxes, etc. I don't buy too much new stuff these days, but it is amazing to find stuff I haven't had out in a while and say: "I didn't remember I had this figure!" Occasionally I find myself searching frantically for a figure after taking pictures. I try never to interrogate my sons, as 9 times out of 10, the figure is camouflaged or posed into a corner...right where I left him. Occasionally I ask in a loving, fatherly voice: "I can't find so and so. I was playing with him over in this area. Have either of you boys seen him?" Amazing how many times my sons can find them quickly.

I know what you mean G. I put all my motorized back packs in a box years ago, and now for the life of me cannot find it.

But I did think I had something when I didn't which led me to pass up aa good price on him only to figure out that I didn't have him! __________________ This is war, survival is your responsibility.

Sonneilon aka 'Paul WS Anderson' ;) Offline --> Posts: 7,751 --> Join Date: Jul 2005	As I bitched to LordRaven & Carlito, I seemed to have lost upwards of 10 DTC CGs! and who knows what else. I don't realize UNTIL I'm looking for 'em. But I guess with the 25A, a lot of that was rebuilt in terms of what I lost. "where'd that SpyTroops Roadblock go... oh, i got a 25A. that'll work. :\ "
