Oh, the memories: X-Files obsession
Okay, I know the day that I saw the new X-Files movie, I griped about how much it sucked. But that doesn’t diminish my love of classic X-Files. (The last 2 seasons, I thought, were awful, the first 5 were great, and 6 and 7 were mediocre. Just for the record.) I have an insane collection of X-Files collectibles and memorabilia, but there’s always room for more! Well….maybe not so much room, but I always want more.
I got the majority of my collection about 10 years ago, when the first movie came out. I had my first job, a summer tech support job, full-time with a decent wage, and I spent a lot of that money on X-Files stuff. I got all of the action figures, movie poster, t-shirt, and all of the VHS boxed sets (they were like $40 each at the time, and there were 8 sets.) I also have all the novels, comics, trading cards, film cels, books on different seasons, and a whole bunch more stuff. The last X-Files thing I bought was the complete series DVD collector’s edition boxed set. I never did get the X-Files: Fight the Future Barbie and Ken dolls set, and I really want more film cels. Man, I miss the good old days when the X-Files was in its heyday, and when I didn’t have anything better to spend my money on than X-Files merchandise.
