Too Many Falcons

by

I hate to keep writing about my collection of toys and everything related to it, but please bear with me. This is the first time I’ve had all this stuff together in years. Anyway, as I’m digging through everything I discovered to my horror that I have way too many Millennium Falcons. Check this out:

That’s three on the right which are from the classic variety and this is not counting my vintage Falcon that is missing many pieces and is in storage. Then to the left is the big ass Falcon that I was so happy to get last year. How does one end up with three essentially identical toys? Well the first one was the one of the bottom that I purchased way back in the day simply because I could. Since I was strictly a MOC collector it’s remained in the box ever since. The one above that was purchased at discount at a convention because the box sucked. I figured that I could open it up and enjoy it. The final Falcon on the top there was a gift from my parents who saw it at Sam’s Club and got it for me for Christmas. It’s actually my favorite boxed version, because I think it looks neat with the extra characters on top there. I guess that now I’ll have to add two more toys to the sell pile.

Does anyone else have this problem? I mean, do you ever come across a bunch of stuff you realized you didn’t have and even worse, end up with doubles or triples?

    I definitely don’t have a stack of Falcons hidden away. :) I do have a few doubles, but just of stormtroopers so doubles are okay.

    I’ll kick myself forever for being broke last December; Amazon had that bigass Falcon for $100 with free shipping!!!

    I have 1 less classic falcon than you, so I guess that isn’t quite as bad.

    I have indeed come to find that I’ve picked up doubles of things I shouldn’t have. Always hated myself a little bit for that…

    Honestly, the only people I’ve come across who have that doubles/triples/infinite-uples is Joe and StarWars collectors. I’m not judging you guys, but you’re all crazy.
