The fund tracker for Castle Grayskull 2013 or bust thread!!!

**Romadon** · January 18, 2013, 08:15pm

Hey everybody, I thought some of us might need a little motivation or group
support to start putting those funds away for CG and stop procrastinating!

I've got my 2 CG set to my spare CC...but i still plan on putting aside the funds each month.

so starting today my total is

$50

Has anyone who needs to start now made any progress and how much have you been able to stash away?

Good luck!

Last weekend i was going to buy another drink at the bar and remembered I need to start saving for Castle Grayskull so i've saved a whopping 5 dollars

**Swifty** · January 18, 2013, 08:46pm

That's funny, last weekend I remembered I'm going to have to pay for 4 Castle Grayskulls so I ordered another drink.

I like your thinking! Today I've had extra drinks because I pre-ordered nothing

Cool thread for those who did order though

Awesome banks...I have these in my collection!

My wife who's relatively tolerant and passive about my collecting will kick my *** if she finds out I am spending $800 plus dollars on Castle Grayskull playsets. I pre-ordered 3 of them and I'm putting away $75 a month so when we get to December I won't be ebaying like crazy just to pay for them.

putting money aside to support the motuc line should come first by buying army builders, 2 or 3 packs, vehicles, beasts, play sets, weapon pack & the monthly figures.

**shadowfall1976** · January 19, 2013, 01:09am

At the moment $50 too....not sure how long it'll take to get more, but hopefully soon, I can free up some to put aside.

**bskcase** · January 19, 2013, 01:15am

Right now, because of CG, I paid off a major loan. WIth that loan free, I'm using the $90 I used to pay every month to CG starting Feb.

**Vahn** · January 19, 2013, 05:57am

Well, I just got a raise that'll give me about an extra $80 per month, so I guess I got it easy this year! That said, I also have a Subscription for the first time, so I still have to be careful about my spending, but I'm off to a great start!

**Orko's Magic Hat** · January 19, 2013, 06:14am

I sold off all my MOC 200x line at Christmas and now have enough for CG

Holy crap!!! didnt think about that...im gonna have to boost my savings. I want at least 4 packs!!!

**Colder Soldier** · January 19, 2013, 11:27am

But seriously, CG and the Horde Troopers are gonna hurt come end of the year.

I'm going to the bank and buying a couple rolls of dimes. I can only save money when it's in coin form.

**RyDell** · January 19, 2013, 11:31am

As soon as I replace 3 surfboards that were destroyed by Sandy, then I will start to save for CG... Oh yea, the beach house was destroyed too, so that has to be replaced whenever insurance decides to get off their slow as mol-asses!

**Stratos*Major** · January 19, 2013, 06:03pm

I'm just saying we're probably going to need to have $420.00 for Dec. 2013.

CGC + S&H + tax

2 Figures (I am guessing)

I just bet ya' they are going to announce an oversized item at $60.00 +

**aey103** · January 19, 2013, 08:55pm

My last car payment is in September so I should be all set because that should cover CG and any other stuff that comes out in December.

**ChgoMarc** · January 20, 2013, 01:58pm

I ordered two and I think I have about $400 saved up since the preorder started.

**Uki** · January 20, 2013, 02:35pm

I'm about to purge my Star Wars collection to its barest elements and hope to raise enough money to more than cover the cost of Grayskull. (I've got a TON to get rid of and shouldn't have much trouble, even if I charge a dollar or two per figure. It's going to be official soon: I'll have a bigger MOTU collection than Star Wars! For me, that's really saying something!)

**MOTUfan** · January 20, 2013, 05:26pm

Well, Mermista and I ordered 10. So our total with shipping will be $2860.02

We are on the way to that total as of this payday yesterday we have a total of $500.00 put away.

At this rate we will have all of the Grayskulls paid for by June 7th.

Does anyone remember the date that Matty said to have fund ready by, I believe it was a month before December 10th, but I do not remember for sure.

**Minion** · January 20, 2013, 06:15pm

I've been saving since around November and currently have £80 aside. Definitely on target to do this.

**lemure77** · January 20, 2013, 06:16pm

thought it was December 11th when they were due in? and Holy Crow 10?? That is some serious Castle joy.
