Spend all your money with Uncle eBay, don't tell your partner, hide it all in your shed or buy a Caravam for the driveway like cookie has, never sell anything, always get at least 4 of each set and get obsessive - you will fit right in!

....................only kidding but it is likely to happen, take your time and enjoy the forum, some great guys on here that have helped me loads with advice, missing parts and general good support, all you need to do is post a and join in.

I don't know if this qualifies me as an obsessive collector.... I had a delivery yesterday, it was a rifle to complete my jungle figure, to cut a long story short...I opened it eagerly as my Mrs was saying (what have you bought now? AND how much was it!) Anyway I told her the truth 🤣🤣🤣 ok I lied and told her it only cost me a fiver ..... guess what happens next ....the bloody receipt fell out onto floor ..... yep she picks it up ... you guessed it ... it cost me £20. There was a few choice words spoken ( I told her Oh I mixed them up the other parcel I've got coming was a fiver 🤣🤣🤣 I won't swear on her BUT she wasn't laughing 😁😁

Next time you feel the need to shop on line check with us first, as we all have a large amount of spares in various places, i would have had a look in my stash and given you it as i may have one already on the figure, you silly man think before you buy

What David means is, put your wants in the wanted section of the "Supply Depot", your money may go further

Open all your packages when she's in bed or out - never admit to anything and if all else fails buy a caravan or an extra shed 😜

I have my packages sent to the air museum now and then I put in the car and leave it there until she's gone to work, it works well as my last 6 guns came this way.
That means the sterling sub machine gun and my rhodesian slr
