Thanks for the reminder. I just added a couple Formula D expansions from CSI to my amazon wish list.

My Fed Ex has been leaving Grove City OH (about 3 hours from Taylor or Livonia) since 22:45 last night and has not arrived at either spot around me yet. I fear I will not take delivery today and hope that something hasn't gone drastically wrong.

The kids have aged past Go Away Monster, but the others are still in play. $100 value out of a $300 purchase. I probably recovered another $60-70 on the games that have been sold. I've made worse investments. You should see my RC car collection. :shock:

You didn't like DungeonQuest? My main concern would not be losing $150 - $200, but the fact that you have no soul.

That reminds me, I have a few games for my kids from Christmas that I haven't even unboxed yet.

At least your board games aren't spilling out of your bedroom and into your dining room, like hepcat. I haven't been able to buy much for the last 5 months because he keeps buying everything I want to try, plus games I haven't even heard about.
