(Stupid) End of the year update...

Well, another year has come to close.  I hope everyone has had a decent enough year.  I know that for me it falls into that category.  There were some good times (FINALLY getting to Walt Disney World) and a fair amount of 'not that great' times.  But we all survived so that says something.  Cincinnati is finally starting to feel a little bit like home now.  Still miss everyone.

This was one of my busiest ever when it comes to my stupid movie collection.  I'm not sure what got into me.  Maybe it's because I actually did my homework to an insane level and truly knew EXACTLY what I had and what I didn't have and how that related to all the stupid movie sets I didn't have. 

And with this update, I have to announce that I have 4 more movie sets for my Stupid Movie Collection.  (For the record, I added a total of 26 movie sets this year.  Waaaaayyyyy to many.) I took a tiny little break from the movies until some time in September when I got an eBay notification (I hadn't turned them off yet) which had a nice and low buy it now price.  With that, I got Hollywood Comedy Legends.  This 50 pack had 18 movies that I didn't have yet.  Not quite stellar but at the price it was hard to pass up.

My birthday came up and the Mrs. got me a set that I had been longing for (and that I had added to my Amazon list):  B-Movie Blast.  It had a little overlap with the Excellent Eighties collection, but still had a decent amount of stuff I didn't have.  Based on my notes, it appears that 29 were unique to my collection.  Not bad!

Somewhere shortly thereafter, I got a notification on a set that I knew still had a decent amount of movies on it came up and of course, like a turd, I bought it.  Thanks a lot eBay.  This set is called Tales of Terror.  It had 18 movies that I didn't have.  I have to admit that the cover creeps me out a little.

And finally, for our anniversary, the Mrs got the other pack that was on my Amazon list, Historic Classics.  This one had a fair number of movies that I needed (35 to be exact), though the theme for this one really isn't something I would normally gravitate to.  Regardless, I have it now and can check it off the list.  I can say that my eBay notification for 50 movie packs have been turned off.


I wish everyone the best in the New Year!   Take care!!!
