You know you've officially gone mental when....

Iggy82 · 02-13-2010, 04:40 AM

Like many of you, I was sorely disappointed when I found out that Dyzplastic had sold out of android figures (http://blog.dyzplastic.com/2010/02/release-robots.html) within minutes of going on sale. I was even more saddened when I found out evil people were selling them on eBay for $45 when they cost just under $8 new!

Something happened to me at that point, I became possessed, all I can say to describe it is I felt like the bloke in 'Close Encounters'; those of you who have watched it will understand. Anyway, I have to go buy paint, these pictures will explain myself:

I am 25 and ashamed but I can't stop, I must finish.

LOL! Awesomeee!

Not quite a mini vinyl. But pretty crafty none the less. i agree that its ridicudonk that people will buy out stock and then bump the price...

But I've seen SO much worse in price gouging for vinyls. I wouldn't in any case pay more than $15 for a $8 little piece of plastic.

That's legit man. Only people on this forum would take it THIS far...but none the less, impressive. This reminds me of something I would do, I can only imagine the disappointment my girlfriend would have in me if she caught me doing this.

I don't see what is wrong with being creative.

It shows that you have a ability to do crafts and have some imagination. If anything its some good nerdy fun.

My girlfriend was impressed but dissapointed as she thought I'd done all the house work when I said I'd been busy all afternoon!

That's AMAZING! I would probably buy that if I saw it somewhere. ha.

That first shot almost looks like Serenity. I'm hoping I'm not the only Firefly fan here...
