Besides the fact that she puts up with me (which should make her one of the all-time greats, anyway), my wife just left me order three battle cases, even though I'd tried to wait until they came to the stores. *swoon* Definitely makes me glad I agreed to go with her to the harry Potter release tonight

That's AWESOME. I hope we can play sometimes...
We can play married doubles!
My wife is anxiously awaiting her Harry Potter book... she is currently "pre-gaming" right now reading HP-V!

Good idea, Joe; if we're ever down in Florida (and I've a couple of potential collaborators doewn there, and perhaps a job talk in 6 months, if certain Florida universities are hiring), I'll try to take you up on that! Actually, I was so excited to share my news that I forgot the real reason I wanted to strat this thread: brag mercilessly about how cool your significant other is...particularly those who lovingly put up with your Attacktix obsession

My GF puts up with my whole Star Wars addiction, while I know others would probably just snicker at that fact. She thinks it cute ...however that works lol.

My girlfriend, I mean WIFE, is just as freakish as me. When it comes to Star Wars, she is probably more over the top than I. I USED to collect one of EVERY figure, back when that was doable (rerelease around 95 or so)
I had (and have) them all including variation on lightsaber sizes and lightsaber packages down to dots and stripes on hands.
After Episode I, I stopped. I started to only buy what I liked, and as of now I do not buy ANY. OF course Lucas found a way to beat me. I bought some vintage re-makes (on the wedding cake) and now Attacktix.
She still likes to pick up an occasional figure, and most of the cool/female Unleashed.
She rocks, cause she plays and even gets MAD when we don't play for a while. But she also stinks, because I can't even TOUCH her chrome Shaak-Ti because I dropped it one time and she thinks it was sabotage!

I don't know if she is the coolest or best for anyone else, but she is definately MY BEST FRIEND and only person that I could ever see living with and putting up with me and my quirks.
She has been really cool about Attacktix and even sharing some in the gaming goodness even though she could take it or leave it for herself. In fact she even came home the other day with a box of six boosters and TWO AT-RTs from toys r us. How cool is that! Anyway, that is my little rant on my perfectly AWESOME wife and BEST friend of almost 13 years.
By the way! Yodabreaker, glad you were able to get the battle cases. I think that you made a good choice. It looks like Iconusa is sold out now as well.

my wife and i have been together for ten years and married for five of those and she's my polar opposite. which i like because she keeps me balanced, if it wasn't for her i'd be poor for all the toys i spend money on and yet she still "allows" me to buy my toys and monitors to make sure i don't overspend. and she let me buy my motorcycle, thats the coolest. now if i could just convince her i need a battle case.

I don't know if she is the coolest or best for anyone else, but she is definately MY BEST FRIEND and only person that I could ever see living with and putting up with me and my quirks. Amen to that. People around the lab often comment on how tolerant she must be to put up with the different voices I do, the somewhat vulgar ways I express myself at times, and the esotericity of some of my jokes and interests. Score one for your honey, then! Mine just puts up with me in a bemused way, though she'll play, as long as she gets her Palpy...and a Sith or two...and some big shooters... No kidding; I felt a tremor in the Force, as if thousands of Battle Cases were crying out to be sold...and then a great silence. So after asking if our money supply would allow it (almost all of our bills come on the first half of the month, so I didn't want to risk spending more money than we had), I drove home like a giddy schoolboy and orderd 'em, fingers trembling all the way. I must have gotten some of the last of them! And they're scheduled to be delivered Friday...happy, happy; joy, joy!

Reviving this thread with:
MY wife rocks because she is Colossus/Phoenix and I am Wolverine/Magneto and we kick ass in X-Men Legends II
She is having so much fun kicking ass that we will go back and play X-Men I Co-op TOO
Plus, she got me two cases of Series 2 for my birthday (well coming anyway)
Wu Long Ti Thanks for Everything
She also got me Madden 2006 for my Bday so LOTS of LIVE gaming coming in the future!

My wife is great when it comes to this "stuff", not because she is particularly into it, but because she puts up with it! She went so far as to spend all four days of Origins with me and my buddies a couple of years ago, that my friends is dedication.

Kudos to her.

My wife hates it, well she puts up with it but I have to admit it does get out of hand for me. I can't blame her. She did go to a couple Star Wars conventions in Texas and the first star wars Celebration in Denver, but we're big Denver Broncos fans so it wasn't like twisting her arm or anything. I probably have $20,000 worth of star wars toys and other things like trading cards and what-not, so I can see how she looks at it when bills come in the mail. We've been together for almost 10 years so she has to know that its not going to change. I guess here's some evidence of why she hates me ... er I mean my star wars addiction.... www.coventrysacrifice.com/swcollection.htmlthe pics are kinda outdated since ep3 figures came out and all the new stuff since February. But you'll get the idea.
