Overproof Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I couldn't find a thread on this forum where people share their latest non cigar purchases? I think it's safe to say cigars are just one of many passions obsessions each of us have.. Show off, share and discuss your new purchase/s. Whatever it is, booze, trading cards, music, cars, even those old spoons or tea towels people collect..whatever. I'm sure I'm not the only one that enjoys looking at other peoples buys..Helps you get know your fellow brothers and sisters too. As always be wary of the forum rules with sharing links etc. I'll kick things off with my latest pick up being these re-released Nike Air Max 1 runners, originally release in 87, have been re-released several times but these hese are very similar to the Originals with only a few variations. Cheaper online but I decided to pay that little extra and get em from the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempbond Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 We bought an Apple TV about 2 weeks ago and we love it ! My wife and I each have an iPhone and iPad, so very convenient to stream music and video to the home theater, as well as being able to stream music on our PC through iTunes. And yes, for my desktop, I'm PC, will never buy a Mac... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewNR Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I've got another friend who's addicted to shoes, He and his partner actually, But both nikes and sport shoes and such... I really don't understand it, I find women with heel addictions a bit odd, And my wifes one of them. But yeah he literally has a couple hundred pairs, If he's going out and wants to feel special he carefully picks a pair of his shoes and posts a picture of the ones he's wearing. I'm not poking fun by any means, I just find it really interesting I guess. Like I'd love to know how the sports shoe thing develops. Anyway.. Recent purchase eh.. Jeez.. I've been on a saving binge aside from the occasional cigar weakness for awhile so I can't remember the last thing I bought Does Dragonborn for Skyrim count? That was about 2 months ago.. Before that I purchased two other video games I've enjoyed a fair bit but haven't played allot, Dishonored and Hitman Absolution. Bought my wife an old toolkit at christmas for a bike i bought her for her birthday.. Thats both our passions I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbone Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 God, seeing those shoes brings back memories.... junior high for me. LOL last month I bought myself a snowblower which I have yet to use and a Nintendo 3DS which I play every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, when I was younger I was never allowed the Nike's, Puma's, Reebok Pumps as mum though they were too expensive for me to have while my feet were growing. Maybe it was a fear of me being jumped for em. Kids did that back in my day. At first it was the fact of being able to purchase something I could never have that the other kids or my brother had, now it's weird and hard to explain..Most people have a work shoe, good shoe and a runner or whatever. I have the same but in multiples, like your friend. I'm not a male Imalda Marcos extreme collector though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the my new mac you can mirror your whole screen to the TV through the Apple TV and the HDMI plus it has NBA and not just NHL and MLB, so you sign into your paid acc and bam your straming to the comforts of your tv..extra bounus if you like the sports.

I just bought 5 tubs of Cyber Clean to clean the dust and grime off my statues... god I'm such a geek/nerd... I think it might be Black Milk, I know a chick that works for em here in Brisbane and she has a R2D2 swimsuit, Jaws and space/milky way leggings and all that. Cool idea. What kind of statues and what are they made out of? Obviously a sponge and water dont cut it? It sounds geeky but I'm curious all the same.

Fuzz Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Sounds like the Black Milk stuff. They are very popular with the Comicon crowd. I collect comic book statues (mostly Marvel) from Sideshow Collectibles. The statues are about 17" tall (though the Galactus statue on order is 3 feet tall!) and made from polystone (powdered stone mixed with a polyurethane resin). Been collecting for 5 years now and have about 30 statues. Water isn't recommended to clean with, and I've been looking for a solution for a while. When you have some many statues, it can be a real pain to clean them all. Here's a selection of statues I recently received: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBL Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I recently bought the Harry Potter books boxset Never read them, so better late than never. The book Edible Selby, which is a kind of coffee table/cookbook hybrid by photographer Todd Selby and three books on the history of tobacco and smoking. As soon as my exams are over, I'm gonna throw myself in some good old-fashioned non-academic readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptrthgr8 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 All of my recent non-cigar purchases have been relating to hunting/shooting sports. I pick this one up a couple of weeks ago - it's a Swedish-made 1942 vintage Husqvarna Model 17 side-by-side shotgun. This is an older 12 gauge, so only 2 1/2" shells are to be used (as opposed to the more modern 2 3/4" or 3" shells). Quality and craftsmanship are typical of any Swedish firearm. I plan on taking this one out for pheasants next season: And I just picked this up a few days ago. It's a big 'ol .45 ACP service pistol. Came with a pretty nice kit (extra mags, optic mounts, backstaps, etc.) Cheers, ~ Greg ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frofro Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Having bought my yearly cigar supply (in theory), I've been back onto my collection of books on the Norman and Anglo-Norman era: so two recent books on Anglo-Norman Archbishops of Canterbury, a document source book of the Duchy circa 1100, finally a couple on A-N architecture and carpentry. I'm drooling at the thought of them arriving... Also, I've completed my collection of the Maigret detective novels, that's all 75 in the bag!

brazoseagle Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I rarely purchase anything for myself lately, all recent purchases have been all for my son, after a year like 2012 he deserves every bit of it!

He might be able to find some additional info on your gun. He sure did for my own shotgun made around 1900! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
