Top 5 things I want currently....

Pretty soon (in August) my wife and I will be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary. We still don't know exactly what we are going to do for it, or IF we can do anything for it. Money is an issue and even moreso, finding a babysitter for the kids!

However, its most likely we will go on a shopping spree of some sort along with a nice dinner. I decided to start picking out things I want. Maybe not even for the anniversary, but just things I want in general. I might even score them at an upcoming comic show if I can. Depends I guess. But I thought I'd share the TOP 5 THINGS I WANT CURRENTLY.

 First this is this: The Sandman slipcase set collecting every single issue of Sandman in a nice slipcase volume. I've been on a huge Neil Gaiman kick this year. And I used to own the first 4-5 trades of Sandman. But lost them in a move at some point, or had to pair down my collection for a move. Man, I've lost alot of tradebooks over the years!!! Anyway, I Want them back and this might be a good way to do it. I like the annotated versions, but this might be more feasible to do. Usually I can find it on amazon or ebay for around $125. I am hoping I might be able to score it at a comic con coming up for that same price.

Recently, the rights reguarding the 1966 Batman Tv show were fixed, so they can start to release merchandising for it. (and hopefully a bluray box set at some point in the future!) But the toys are getting ready to drop in August. I especially want a Batman, Robin, Joker and (my favorite Batman villian) the RIDDLER! Maybe two of each. And of course, the Batmobile. All necessary. 

As massive a Rush fan as I am, I really want to complete my collection of the Rush SECTORS box sets. I got the 3rd one. I just need the first and second one. I never owned the first one, so I definitely want that one. Its got 2112 in it!

Also: I want a new office chair. This is something I am hoping to scour craigslist for. My old one sucks! Keeps sinking and the padding is long gone. I need something more comfortable for my ass.

Art Supplies: Man am I low! Copics are $8 each! I need bristol paper. Some back up rolling rulers. Etc.

Clothes: I'd love some newer Tshirts, new jeans and a new pair of Vans Half Cab shoes (the only shoe I wear!) Need new shoes for work too!

So all in all, thats whats on my list to get. Just thought I'd share with you. There's a whole list of comic book trades that I want and I hope to score them in Chicago. But I gotta sell sell sell first! Come out to the show and help me earn the cash and I can buy buy buy!

Anyway, hope all is well. Thanks for reading!
