    secreters!!!
    i would love to see an overhead picture of them all really close together, where all you see are the colors of their brains.

    and how did you find each one still in their package? insane

    Wow - you did it!
    I really want Sun, Forest, (and UNBK - I know it's available, I just don't have money).

    Awesome!
    All this talk of not bothering with being a completist and you drop this.
    Talk about getting served :)

    Congrats!

    He's only complete on secreters, not Skull Brains. SO, in reality, he's only partially complete. Stage 1 perhaps?

    Awesome, I know you were really tight on them being MIB, pretty nuts but I guess it must have been worth it. Satisfaction is a good feeling.

    I will definitely not start to be complete on the Skullbrain...way too much work !!

    and yeah, being a nutcase on this MIB thing was not really the easiest part of the hunt :)

    If you made the hunt to make sure they where all sealed, why open them now. I would create a display that shows them off but kept them in bags. As for the the figures in the cans either get a dup or a nice display picture.

    I'm gonna say that miracles still exist as the employee brain that lives with me was $35. As the clerk handed it over, we kind of quivered like when you find a good score at a flea market and its marked really low. that "ring it up fast so we can run out of here before you realize your error" feeling

    fuck yeah for bargains.

    I think Brian used to post a picture of his collection where the Secreters where linked with a nylon string...that would be something I could do easily...but having the pleasure to open them is priceless :)

    the thing i hate about seeing a full gathering of secreters being forced to view the 4 that i don't have.

    Very NICE :!:
    I honestly thought you traded them away.
    I think you should open them. Just knowing I got them all mint would be good enough for me!!

    I would never open these. It is way to awesome and rate to see them all MIB together.
