My wife is the best. Not only does she put up with my multiple hobbies (LEGO, baseball cards, woodworking, etc.), she oftentimes actively encourages them!
Case in point: Valentine's Day 2015.
As a guy, Valentine's Day doesn't usually excite me all that much - too much chocolate, flowers, and mushy movies for my tastes. However, if I continue to have Valentine's Days like this year's, I may rethink my stance on the holiday.
You see, my wife gave me seven unopened packages of LEGO Collectible Minifigure Series 13 packs! As of Valentine's Day, I only had four different figures from the set (Evil Wizard, Construction worker, Goblin, and Space Marine guy). So, how did I make out from my gift?
Quite well I would say!
Out of the seven packages, I ended up with four new figures (Alien Trooper, Samurai, Paleontologist, and the hard-to-find, incredibly popular Hot Dog Man)!
I ended up with two Paleontologists (which is ok since the new Jurassic Park sets are coming out soon)! I also ended up with an extra Goblin (available for trade) and an extra Carpenter (which I think I'll keep for my city layout)!
My collection for Series 13 now stands at 8 of the 16 possible figures.
You can find my full want list (including all the previous series figures that I still need as well)! All things considered, this was a great Valentine's Day present! And, of course, just another reason why I love my wife!

I've got an extra sheriff if you want to trade that extra paleontologist. I also need to look at you trade/want list for the 2015 Topps.
