Automatically Appended Next Post: some of you sound like you have awesome partners/wives but this takes the cake i think,
my best mate (nerdfest10) got married a couple of years ago and I was his best man, and they wrote their own wedding vows, when she said her vows she actually said "and I promise to understand and let you paint and play your little men!" how understanding is that! :-)

If she says no to a cool model like that then chances are she'll be saying no to drinking with the boys as well! and if that's the case.....I sense someone's whipped!

If any argument occurs it will be moot, you still have your shiny new man dolly, case closed.
Thats my vote, Im willing to bet she doesnt check with you when she buys anything.
Rick Priestley said it best:
Bryan always said that if the studio ever had to mix with the manufacturing and sales part of the business it would destroy the studio. And I have to say – he wasn’t wrong there! The modern studio isn’t a studio in the same way; it isn’t a collection of artists and creatives sharing ideas and driving each other on. It’s become the promotions department of a toy company – things move on!

Just buy what you want, and if she gets mad be like well I earned this money I can choose what to spend it on. If it was your money I was spending I would have asked. I said this to my gf and she agreed now when I go broke personally she says well it was your money and you chose what to spend it on.... so double standard but things worked out try it

Those are wise words, my friend. Wise words. I shall ponder these on the tree of woe.

Had one, and the game..I sold it when I got a good offer on b-town.
It was a very kool figure...but $$. I needed the $. I didn't get back what I paid..but it wasn't NIB either.
I still have 1 of the very limited edition Halo batle damaged scarab.. because it was a kool looking model..Now it's a huge box in my den.

"It is the great irony of the Legiones Astartes: engineered to kill to achieve a victory of peace that they can then be no part of." - Roboute Guilliman
"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now." - Magnus the Red, to a statue of Leman Russ

Tell her that you were looking at a big stuffed moose head to put over the fireplace ... -- OR -- maybe the nurgle deamon would be a more reasonable purchase.
I saw the new Deathwatch collectors edition, the one in the metal case thats so awsome... The wife just said "oh come on, you know you want it and it will look great on a lectern in the corner of the room!"
Thing is, I'm the sensible one and I'm the one stopping myself from buying it cause we can't really afford it....
But still, I'm one lucky sum bizatch!
My comments are my own, and mine own alone. If you have any complaints, please report to Mr Spanky who will take them down for you.....

Then pick them up and put them on high shelves. When they're ready to act like big people/adults pick her off the high shelf and put her back down.
Also my significant others are just glad I'm not buying more acid or ex pills. Set the bar really low for disposable income then down the line, everything looks like money well-spent.

No thanks, I'm fine and I've been married for 16 years.
Warboss Narzok, that video didn't mate me want to do anything whatsoever with chthulu, in fact, it made me want to take away someone's video editing software.

Well, see, now it's too late. What you've got to do is invent a time machine and go back and convince yourself to just enough drugs that you can still get married. Once you come "clean", all of that now-disposable income could be used for other things, and your wife would just be happy you're off of drugs.
Wow, yet another situation that could be solved with a time machine and crystal meth.
