Figures I'll never paint.

Painted figures I'll never use.

Paints I don't need.

Tools I'll only use once to make something for armies that never get painted.

Books about periods that I'll no longer be interested in by the time the book reaches me.

Rules for periods I think I might become interested in ... but never do.

Co-operative, story driven board games - despite the fact that all my regular opponents prefer competitive ones :(

That..... :(

Just about anything tagged "new release" from Pendraken.

I just bought Falklands AA guns.

For no reason.

With no idea what to do with them.

But they're sooo preeeety!

I'm sorry but you haven't thought this through properly. What you really need to do is make the buildings yourself and use the saved money to buy more shines to use with aforementioned homemade buildings. Simples!  :)

What you say is true, but I do not have the time to paint figures or the time and skills to make a good job of the  buildngs I want.

I think you need to change the word might to would. :D

2500+ foot: that's over 100 bags!!!

I thought I had issues?  (Oh wait, I do  :D )
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Way too many figures, I think  I want them and I know I will use  them but then some other range takes over. Bases, all sizes, all shapes, I need them and will use them. Paints, always looking for new colours, I know I will use them. Rules, I know I will play all these rules. If I keep repeating to myself that I will use everything I can get through the week without going mad! ;D

Isn't that more than the original League? How many teams was were in it? Do you count goalies as well?

History books and chocolate. Interesting rules tempt me but I'm getting better than I used to be. Maybe I'm getting sensible in my later years :-\ :D ;).

I am beginning to feel that pull having recently gained an interest in BKC; trying to resist a the moment.

No, don't resist! I want more people playing it, so that hopefully the Imperial Japanese forces will be expanded!

Imagine what some of these would look like on your tabletop ... Banzai!

Lead pusher  :P ;)

I think that that's the first such instance that I've done that  :-\ Also, the first time I've thought about an item that I'd like to see sculpted in the Pendraken range. Though I did mention the lack of Japanese armoured cars (in person) last year when I ventured to the Land of Smog. Sorry, Middlesbrough. I'm sure I heard a mention that others had enquired about Japanese trucks, too.
