I hate being a fan Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Report Post to a Moderator        IP Information Go to the top of this page

...to qualify , I hate being a fan without a large disposable income.

As you know, I've only recently added this fandom to my fandom collection and as such I'm just getting round to looking at, well stuff. Ive just spent an hour in the TATSUNOKO on line shop and discovered things I never knew I needed.

This morning I didnt know I needed, gatchaman tool box, lunch box, cup, fork holder......I need a hooded top, a long sleeve top and a T-shirt. .. A bag , a mini towel and a keyring. I dont smoke but I may start so I can buy a zippo lighter.

Ive just put flights / hotel for dragon con on the credit card as well. Quite frankly its unlikley my family will get anything other than an I.O.U scribbled on the back of an old envelope this Christmas.

Don't say that, Veritas! Perhaps they will receive a lovely drawing or fanfic from you. Big Grin

And FWIW, I know how you feel. There are so many Gatch things I would love to get and can't. I try to limit myself to certain TYPES of collectibles, but still, you can't have it all.

Wait... did you say there's a Gatchaman *tool* box???? I hadn't heard of that one!

Hmmmm.... I think DH needs a new tool box.... ROFL 2

You definately shouldnt go and look at stuff and then try and justify buying it. devillook

I for one think a 30cm x 30cm towel is just what a women needs when getting out the bath. It snowed this morning (for 5mins and then melted) so I need a hat.

I hear where you're coming from Veritas. I've fallen into the financial abyss of being a fan. Star Wars, Star Trek, Comic Books, collectible dolls, china, etc. It might stem from this age of consumerism many of us were brought up in. I try to think do I really need it such an item--but I must say when I'm at a convention my frugalness tends to go out the window!

If I didn't spend over $100 dollars on Gatchaman DVDs I would've had more shopping money for Black Friday. Shame on you all.


Just kidding of course ROFL 2

I found myself snickering when I read this post veritas. Mostly because I see myself so much in it. Maybe with the Christmas thing, you can just convince your family that they have bought your Christmas gifts through you Winknudge


Then turn around and give them a fanfic/piccy like TJ mentioned.

After reading Veritas' post above, and being the Gatcha-geek that I am, I had to check out the Tatsunoko website. Veritas, you're a bad influence on me! Bad, bad bad!! Lookie at what I've so far - and I've only made it through the apparel section!

Ok, made it a little further through the site... I still have a ways to go!

Keychains (only showing the backer to Ken's, but all 5 have the same backer. Only difference is the color)

Oh, I want that key chain with Joe in birdstyle, and the box with Joe on it (I have no idea what I'd use it for but it has Joe on it! )

I should have stayed out of this thread! Laugh2
