I dug into some serious hobby self examination during lunch today..anyone else want to come clean with all their dirty laundry?

I've really cut back over the past 4 years - having kids makes playing really difficult. I've sold off several different games (BFG, Epic) - thinking I'll never get back to them.

I still ponder my many 40K armies: 2K CSM, 2K Eldar, 3K+ IG. I keep a hold of these old armies with the thought I'll play again some day. No need to repaint all those figs - but the flaw in that thinking is changing codexes. By the time I play again, half the army will either be out of print or functionally obsolete. I'll be forced to rebuild regardless.

WFB is in better shape - I sold my Skaven at the beginning of my playing slow down. Still have my 8K worth of Chaos (which also moving to obsolescence with each new army book).

WAB is my new money sink. I started in on a crusader Arab army, then switched to ancients to stay in period. Fortunately, Wargames Factory is keeping my costs down.

Moving is going to force me to literally examine my hobby space. I have hundreds of castings from Hirst molds, lots of old terrain, old books/WD and various model bits and pieces. I may need to host a gamer garage sale just so I don't have to carry it all out of the house.

40k stuff I'm slowly going through. Some of my brother's castoffs.

I'm not one to sell what I've painted, so I'm probably going to be stuck
with my stuff for good.

I'm moving too and I just had a chance to look at my collection. I've discovered that I have a shit ton of sprues with all the 'extra goodies' that come with the plastic boxes. I thought it was a good idea to save them at the time. Now I'm not so sure what I can do with 40 old chaos warrior right arm with maces.
