What of the reports of the Rebel fleet massing near Sullust?

By johnny3078, in X-Wing

Don't listen to these jelly folks Johnny! I think you need some more ships to be honest. Drop another couple of G on X-wing!

the best example for a guy with no life and to much money. think of how huge his pilot and upgrade card pile must be... oh the horror of sorting out the cards.

and i thought that iam crazy buying 4 times imperial aces + many people asking themselves where the **** the minatures are ??!!!

yeah the answer is u !! U BOUGHT EM ALL !!! ( lucky that i live in germany so no chance for u to buy of all the good stuff first hand)

Yah soul this is my outlet other wise I'd go crazy working 2 jobs with a wife and kid. Fortunately my wife is VERY understanding. And below is the main reason for my life...my son =D

I'd say I'm jealous, but really I'm not. Seriously. That's gone beyond hobby to obsession/work territory for sure. The time spent just keeping track of and sorting that stuff. . . I just can't even imagine. If you love it then more power to you, though!

Well, since Alex and Frank can't post on these forums, let me go ahead and speak for them and say thank you, thank you, thank you! :D

Duuuuuuude this is just jaw dropping and awe inspiring lol...You need only imagination to go to a galaxy far far away ; and a few miniatures...

Man, you're lucky your kid seems to respect your collection.

Let's all notice the Nebulon B.

I have to ask: what do you do with it all?

I don't mean that to be condescending or accusatory, I'm genuinely curious.

I've seen all kinds of miniatures collections before: people who could recreate the entire battle of Gettysburg, or Waterloo, or have a whole Chapter of Space Marines, or whatever, but most of the time it was for some goal of putting them on the table to play something.

So, if you want to play the whole battle of Yavin, that's unimaginably awesome, and I would dearly - sincerely - love to see pictures of that. But some of the things you have just confuse me, like, why do you have six Millennium Falcons? That's the part I don't understand. Not the stack of corvettes, or the custom Nebulon-B, just 6 Falcons. That's the weird part. ;)

PS: Regardless, thanks for posting pics.

If its anything like my 40k collection it sits in the wardrobe collecting dust :P

That's the best use for GW miniatures, imho!

So he can have 12 Engine Upgrades?

Very important when you're fielding a full squadron of X-Wings in Epic Play!

"Lady, he's putting my kids through college."

One my favorite quotes from The Simpsons. Replace the hot dog vendor with Christian T. Petersen, though.

Dude - enjoy what you enjoy.

I don't want that many ships. I don't need that many ships. But you and I are different and you have every right to do what you want to do.

I do hope that at some point you get a good camera and start filming some battle scenes for us!

The galactic civil war didn't end with the rebels blowing up the second death star. It ended when Johnny bought up all their ships. :P

So long as he's not local to my area, which has new players struggling to find ships, it is alright by me.

Johnny, you need to build a Death Star. Then you're ready to do a live recreation of that comic strip...

See my sig, also i cant possibly imagine a reason why one would need this amount of stuff for a game such as xwing

wow... just... WOW

People spend -a lot- more money on mobile games and things like that. I bet there's people out there with bigger collections then Johnny's.

No one needs to spend any amount of money on any game of course. Any game is a luxury product.

Also, he wasn't bragging, just showing. ;).

It is a big collection, enough to make stop motion movies of epic battles. I'll be waiting for that.

Sure looks like bragging to me, either consciously or not, its still "look at how much i've spent"

You sir, are the front-runner for the Saltiest Forum Member Award. Good lord.

I've seen far bigger collections of Warhammer 40k/fantasy. You keep doing what you love Johnny3078, and just ignore all the haters.

How in god's name can anyone have this much money?

Probably just sold off his 40k collection, and probably has some money left over

I thought my collection of about 1000pts per side was big...

Seriously though I could see this happening to me if I had more money to spend. Every time I see a ship on the shelf at my FLGS I have to fight the urge to buy them.... sometimes I still fail tho...
