So, after playing a bunch of different games at Expo, my new bride and I had settled on looking for a Demo Man for our next pin. I had a few bucks saved up in the pin fund, and so my search started in earnest.
On a different note, I'd gotten to the point where I was pretty well done and accomplished on my Judge Dredd. After a couple game warm-up, I could consistently make it to wizard mode. Felt like I had seen/done everything the game had to offer.
So, I put my Dredd out there for trade or for sale, hoping to snag a Demo Man or something else cool. After no solid trade leads came up, I started to entertain the idea of selling it. It was at this point, the crazy conversation that led to today came up.....
"You know, darlin'....If I can get what I think I can for Dredd, and I add what's in the pin fund for a Demo Man, we'd be within spitting distance of a NIB...."
- Her eyes light up...."Like X-Men?"
(This is essentially her "grail" theme, as she had read all the X-Men comics growing up. We had also played it at Expo and loved it)
"Yeah, like X-Men. But we're still a few hundred bucks short."
- "A few hundred? Hell, for that, I'll give you the extra money if it means getting an X-Men!!!"

God I love this woman! 
So, a couple weeks later, and some great help from Trent at Tilt Amusements, the crazy is complete. Here we go!
