I sure hope he appreciates what he has, and realizes that he does not share the same financial support that most 12-year olds in the the world have.
Great collection.

Hey guys
i know I spoil him pretty bad - daughter too but they are really well grounded kids
My son babysits to collect his own money to buy games and movies, cleans up the dog Poop in the back yard, unloads the dishwasher, etc, etc. to earn his allowance.
His best friend who lives a few suburbs away does not have very much - he gives him the games he\'s done playing, his magazines after he has read them ( that he pays for himself). He makes honor roll every year and has read more books in the last year than I have read my entire life.
To answer your question I hope he does appreciate it - sometimes I wonder myself - if any one is at fault it is me as I grew up with nothing, dad worked two jobs just to pay the mortgage on a house that cost $ 25,000 and I want them to have all the things I couldn\'t - sometimes to a fault.
I would never have let him come on this board if I did not feel that there was a great community of incredible people here all enjoying the same hobby - I am sure that when he is old enough and working he will be posting up a lot here doing more deals than mr Morningside as he is a true movie and horror fan - even more so than I.
Take care guys
Shummy
