O.o Oh gods so much money gone in one fell swoop...
Preface: It's been a busy week - visited 2 sets of friends I'd not seen for months. 1 load in Kent, the other in my old Uni city. By a bizarre coincidence met Paul McGann during both visits.The Kent visit included a planned trip to a comic convention, Paul McGann was there. I met him, it was aweseome. He signed my super-collectable graphic novel and a few CDs. (He's now more popular than ever after Night of the Doctor, adorable toddlers running around dressed in miniature accurate representations of both his Night of the Doctor outfit and the 6th Doctor's outfit.)
The coincidental bit? McGann was also visiting my old Uni this week, didn't know until I was there. So saw him twice in 5 days. He's a lovely lovely human being. Seemed genuinely delighted that he'd acquired a stalker... One of the rare cases where the phrase "don't meet your heroes" is utter sh*te. He increased my love of him by expressing the opinion that they'd "missed a trick" by not casting a woman this time around - not that he thinks Capaldi wont be awesome, just that the time is right.
Anyhow the buy: I decided on the basis of this to buy a few more of the Big Finish audio dramas, I'd always meant to gradually own all of the 8th Doctor ones. Since 8 is
My Doctor he's the one I've focussed my Who collection on, I've long since completed my set of the novels and the comics (thank gods I did this all way before Night of the Doctor happened - the prices have shot up recently because of those 6 minutes, attempting to buy a few choice novels for a friend who's gotten into him recently was a nightmare) ...Anyhow discovered that they've discontinued a load of them. And panic bought Lots and Lots of CDs. SO MANY CDS. My collection has gone from the odd CD here and there to LOTS. Most of the range is now mine.
(Think I'm gonna finish selling off the 1/6 dolls I own purely becuase they're "nice" - I have no nerdly motive for owning these ones, other then they're kinda nice things and I'm going to need the shelf space and the cash...)
