Well, my manifesto did not last long :( I had committed to not buying new models in 2022 but I was planning to see what I would get for 2023. I put some of those models in a cart to see what price and shipping would be etc. and then left them in there.
PayPal emailed me and said "Hey, you left these in your cart! Get them now and we'll give you $5 off!" And so I did that, because it was $5 off and that sort of felt like "limited edition" or some other flimsy justification. Clearly, it wasn't and I was bad.
But that is not the worst of it - they arrived and I put them away for a while, trying to be strong. But I started assembling them :(
They are Les Grognards from Wargames Atlantic, and they are very nice models. I did get a good deal on them, and so I could sort of say that was a limited edition (certainly, the price was limited - and, full disclosure, I've also bought some other models because they were on Amazon for the pre-pricehike cost and . . .)
I have failed. Dishonor on me, dishonor on my cow.
