"...And There was Much Rejoicing!!" A Trifecta of Collecting Goals Achieved in a Single Day!

Well...this was quite a day on the collecting front for me.  As I get closer and closer to achieving my collecting goals, checking off major "accomplishments" in this quest is becoming  less frequent and more difficult.  And that's why today was an "Blog Post Worthy Day."  As the Title of this post suggests today I was able to finally check off no less that three of my major collecting goals!

Lets take a look.

The first I alluded to in a post on the Oldhammer Forum....It is one of few Reference Books I did not have in my collection...

What is that in there?  It sure is well packed!

Thats Right...I finally have my own copy of Lost and the Damned!  Finding this tome at a fairly reasonable price has proven very difficult and I have been on the look out for more than a year be fore this one crossed my path.  Its not in mint condition...most of the cover corners are a little dinged up...and one looks pretty rough...

But....the spine is tight and there doesn't appear to be any writing inside.  The slightly worn condition doesn't really bother me at all...as long as the wonderful artwork and information inside is intact I'm a happy man.

The other two items arrived in the same package...and I was so excited to open this padded envelop from the other side of the pond.

Inside was a well packaged plastic container that was just over flowing with goodness!

Once I teased out all the individual pieces here is what we had...Lets look at the one with the arrow first!

Un-wrapping that bubble wrap revealed allowed me to check off another goal!  Here is what I found inside.

...So now...I know your thinking:
                   "uhhhh...Blue...dude...thats just a Marauder Boar Rider!  What's the big deal?"

Well...if you have had the chance look through any of my recent sale threads on the forums you may had had the opportunity to look through the photobucket album of catalog pages of figures I'm looking for.  If you did have that chance you have seen this catalog page for more than two years...

Yay!  This was the last one!  I have finally finished this entire range! This was one of the first ranges I started collecting...and it has been one of the longest to complete.

The third and final of my collecting goals that was fulfilled today is one of the absolute best models produced by Citadel in the "classic period" IMO.  Lets see if you can figure out what it is as I open the packages.

Those who have this model already have probably figured it out....the next one should eliminate any doubts...

YAY!  the High Elf Attack Chariot!  and it is complete and Pristine!

All that its missing is the box...

So...the "wants" list continues to shrink!  ...as long as I can keep to adding to it...:)  Thanks for reading and coming along to see the latest additions to my ever expanding lead mountain!

Cheers,

Blue
