Recently Burger King was giving out Spongebob "Lost in Time" figurines with their Kids Meals. So naturally my new favoritve place to visit was BK, and I must say I went well out of my way sometimes searching for BK's to go buy these toys at. It was hilarious, at first, I didn't even bother pretending to be interested in their food, I simply went up to the counter and asked if I could buy their Spongebob Toys. The best is when they would ask "Which one/how many?" and my reply was, "as many/which ever you have." Eventually I started buying fries or a soda, and was doing a pretty good job colllecting. I reached 9/20 figurines, and then about 1 week ago, mom and I stopped at a BK, and when I went inside to buy more, I discovered that they stopped that promotion, and now had Ice Age toys. :o(
You can only imagine my dissapointment, I wanted all 20! These toys are actually very cool. So, what do you do when you want something that is no longer carried/provided.....eBay! I have never bought anything from eBay before. It always seemed a little suspicious and the whole "place your bid" thing seemed like a lot of effort. But I found several people that had the entire 20 figurine collection of Spongebob. I placed a bid on one, and it only had about 1 day left, and amazingly I won. I was so happy!! They have yet to arrive, when they do I'll be sure to take pictures and post them.
In relation to the title of this post, crossed the line, when I told Greg what I had done, his reaction was, "Oh God, you're one of those people now. You've crossed the line Triana. You'll be like those creepy men who wait outside of Target at 4am, because some new toys is coming out and they want to be the first to get it." I don't think I have reached that level of craziness....yet. But he says I am well on my way. ;-)
