I’ve been a collector of several things through the years: video games, magazines, cassette tapes, CD’s, video games,  concert tees, UK tees, etc.  Okay, the tee’s are more of a necessity.  It’s not like I just buy them and put them up.  I do wear them.  Lately, I’ve started(rather, restarted) collecting action figures and figurines. 
I have each member of the Big Bang Theory cast in miniature bobblehead form.  All I’m missing are a Bernadette and Amy Farrah Fowler.  I’ve looked and looked to no avail.  I guess online is my next destination.  Though I’ve come up empty there as well, as I do look from time to time. One day, while at FYE in the mall, I randomly bought a collectors series Fin Balor figure.  For the uninitiated, Fin Balor is a wrestler.  I wouldn’t mind collecting some more of those.
  I love browsing in GameStop.  Occasionally there will be a PS4 game I really want that I’ll get with one of my GameStop gift cards I get for either birthday or Christmas.  I can be somewhat of a gift card hoarder and it pays off.  For instance, several months ago, I saw one of my favorite games from my childhood, Bad Dudes, on MyArcade mini.  I ordered it straight away. 
Today, I began a new collection, though I didn’t aim to do so.  I had some time to kill at the mall so I got a couple of Christmas gifts.  After doing that and getting a haircut, I was walking along when something in the window at GameStop caught my eye.  Laying right there on the cashier desk were Thundercats action figures!
The first figure I saw was Lion-O.  I picked it up.  I saw Mumm-Ra, Lion-O’s nemesis.  I picked it up.  I saw a couple more but felt I needed to cut myself off at two.  Besides, Christmas is coming! Thundercats was from when I was a kid.  When I saw the figures, the kid in me returned.  I might even have to see if I can find the old carton-or at least the theme song! It’d make a cool ringtone!
