@hubbabubba Valloa has a few I-kore original Void blisters in her eBay store at Valloa's Vale or you can see them at ebay.com under current auctions with seller "anatora".

Happy Birthday, Nathan.

Generally I like arachoids in Sci-Fi (which these remind me of) and these are really cool. Nice paint jobs too.

Beautiful work, Mark. I love historicals and this one is lovely. :thumb:

Great painting, Mark. Good to see your work again.

Been and voted. I really like what you did with Bishop.

Maya gave me a box of minis, and, because I always misplace at least one present, I found another big box of minis, including some 54mm. Not sure how long they have been lost , but some are out of production and some of the manufactures seem to be out of business as well. And I found some jewelry I bought for presents last Christmas. It was a banner year for long-lost items. This year I misplaced the scratch-off and the lottery tickets, but found them late Christmas Eve just in time to stuff into the stockings. :dancing2:

It can take 5 or more years of playing an online game to build a character up to a high status with lots of unique items or gold pieces in the bank. Sometimes a player can't wait real years to acquire an item for their character and sometimes an item up for sale is extremely rare and no longer available. Some players are very serious about their online characters and enhance them when they can. It really amounts to the equivelant of buying a " virtual" upgrade or new software from the internet that you have to download. You don't have the item in hand, but you benefit from it just the same. We aren't talking about just kids here. Many of these players are professional people with a lot of money to spend. Why is beyond me, but if that is how they spend their free time, far be it from me to argue. There are worse things to spend their money on. :loco:

Valloa made a nice chunk of spending money selling virtual items in an online game. I think the most paid by one person was $1,800 for one sale.

Valloa and I are very sorry about Spyglass's situation, but we will continue our support by carrying the line for as long as Steve continues to sell it to us. His work is lovely and we look forward to seeing his sculpts through his work for other companies and maybe an occasional Spyglass mini.

Happy Birthday, Nathan. Valloa and I almost missed it!!! :cheer2:

When I read the email, it was a sad moment. However, it really seems that he is at an indecisive moment. It is true that the approaching holiday season does have an effect on people whose lives have issues. Seems to make it worse. Hopefully, he will be more optimistic after the new year starts and we can look forward to another contest. Anyway, my good wishes are with Jason.

Actually Atlanta has those already, so, Nathan, just another thing for you to watch out for. A friend of mine got a ticket and a photo in the mail of her speeding through a red light (actually caught between caution and red). She paid the fine. It was hard to argue that that wasn't her face behind the wheel.

At those calculations, SV, I might :2: :driver: be in for $0.78. Not bad

THAT day? Have you talked to Nathan lately??? It's worse than ever :dancing2: :imsorry: Sorry, Nathan. She made it so easy :hahaha:
