It all started when my wife saw a Mr. Spock action figure on sale at a local department store. It was sold almost half price from its original tag. Now we're not Trekkies (others call them Trekkers), but we immensely enjoyed the latest Star Trek movie, as well as other older Star Trek movies, and seeing an action figure who looks a lot like Zachary Quinto excited my wife so much that she bought the figure.
After seeing the toy, I remembered something I was planning (more of hoping) when I was younger, to be able to have a collection of different action figures. Now we're not rich, my wife and I, in fact this blog is witness to the struggles we've gone through, but we decided that whenever there is extra in our budget AND an action figure of good quality is on sale, then we'll add it to our collection.
Heaven heard us because the following week, the price of the Star Trek action figures slid further that enabled us to get a few more.
Hoping this would be the start of something new, something that my daughter can hopefully continue in the future.
