Do you really? Wow, you have a really cool hobby.:) Do you keep them all in the box, or are there some that you assemble, paint, and display?

Most are still boxed... a few are taken out and displayed in my book case.

*like* :)

So, we have a figurine collector, a model car collector/diorama builder, and a dollhouse collector/seller (me).

Does anyone else have something really cool that you collect/display?

I kind of collect Dunnys. What's a Dunny you ask?

These are Dunnys

I have about 30 or so right now and there are literally hundreds that have been designed. I have a set of the Azteca set that they put out a few years ago so I'm kind of stoked that they are making an Azteca 2 set.

One thing I love about them is that they are blindbox so you never know if you'll be getting that typical 3/25 figure or that uber rare 1/500 figure.

I've never seen or heard of them. They're really cute. How long have you been collecting them?

Did you see it Sunday night? It's not a bad show and it could be more focused than Heroes was. The bad guy looks like he COULD be a bad guy in real life. and Keith David? ....yeah count me in!

More about the comic here

About 5 years now. I don't buy them often. Probably about 10 a year at the most. They have so pretty outrageous designs at times. Like one thats all vaginas (I'm serious lol) that was part of the Tattoo series.

They showed it on Sunday? I didn't see it. I've never heard of him, until I saw it advertised. Thanks for the comic link. I was a little disappointed to see that he's a DC character, though.:( I kinda figured that based on the commercial I saw. He kinda reminds me of Batman, I just hope he's not just as lame as Batman. I guess I'll know Monday.

What's your "geek" dream?
 
Okay, so I'm starting a thread within a thread.
What's your geek dream? Meaning, what's something that you're so passionate about that could become a reality. Kind of like a possible realistic geek fantasy? Something that you've never done, but have always wanted to do, or something that you've never seen, but would like to see? You can only choose one thing. What is it?

Well, everyone knows my fascination with astronomy, astrophysics, and astrobiology, so I have a whole list of things, but since we can only list one, I'm going to say to be able to find an Earth like planet. I'm not saying there has to be intelligent life forms there, but just a planet similar to Earth. Well, I've always been excited about Gliese 436B. I'm so excited about that planet that I'm almost jumping out of my clothes. It's just that we still don't know if Earth is a common occurring planet, or a 1 in a billion freak. Gliese 436B looks like a Neptune sized Earth and it's warm enough for liquid water. I mean, it's not like our water because there's so much of it, but it's still liquid water on the surface. That would be a dream to be able to send a space probe that could land on its surface. What would we see? :)

I think he means to see people be able to fly.

I don't think he was talking about half man-half fly creatures lol
