What is your best "just because" purchase?

[Ekona]

Either my Cobain Mustang, or my replica ST:TNG Type 2 phaser.

 

I still regret not buying the 7ft tall Alien replica I saw in the US about 15 years ago. So should've just put it on the card and been done with it.

Shoes - lots of them! (sorry but what did you expect? )

 

Yep Nixy, I bought wifey 2 pairs of shoes yesterday but only because they match the decor where she usually leaves them

One of my best just because purchases was a present to myself when I got a new job about 4+ years ago. I passed a gunshop whilst out with my Mrs and decided to buy a "Cybergun Co2 Mini Uzi" as below...

 

 

 

 

It's basically a 4.5mm BB firing airgun but uses CO2 cartridges to power it so you don't need to hand c*ck it for each shot. Blow back action too so feels pretty good when firing it.

 

Yes it's totally useless for anything other than shooting BB's at paper targets or cans but it's a lot of fun & without doubt a "just because" purchase.

 

I bought something similar to try to keep the pigeons out of the garden ... not as powerful though

With all the DIY stuff I have been doing the Makita SDS hammer drill + range of bits/chisels has been an absolute Godsend, just eats the hardest bricks/concrete like they were marshmallow.

Just bought the blue one

Got to be my motorbikes cause they always put a smile on my face

Set phasers to "holy sh!t why the frap didn't you buy the xenomorph!?"

 

It's on my to do list. I'll mount my M41A above it in my Alien themed room complete with hatched egg in the corner and flashing yellow strobe lighting and Aliens style grating on the floor and...

 

Calming down.

Whey hey!

 

I need some really but I HATE protein shakes.

Just bought the blue one

 

 

 

Nice. I like these almost as much as good RG series Ibanez'.

Since you said "cars" I am gonna say my Truck Bob

 

 

Ok, ok...... Best non vehicle purchase.... A nice sofa for my office, which incidentally I have as yet to be charged for

[Ricey]

I'm afraid I'm also going for 'massive toolbox'

 

Way more storage than I need. I've got a draw just for gloves!

I know, I hate myself for it

 

Basically I was still living at home and so it would've had to go in my bedroom which wasn't that big in the first place, plus at the time it would've been the equivalent of 6 months wages which was a bit excessive! Still, should've got it, you're right.

Yes mate. £480 I think and it's fecking massive.

 

I'd say it's a 4k snap on sized box.

 

Proper sturdy and powder coated as well

Costco is amazing. I don't think I've ever come out of there having spent less than £300.

Fairly sure he could pick you back up again. #GunShow

Hmm, I have a habit of somehow justifying a new gaming PC quite often, or expensive upgrades to it. Then I'll get stuck into an indie game for a month that I could have played on a shitty laptop Currently feeling an extreme pull towards ordering the HTC Vive

You're not the only one who does this bud My CPU fan was annoying me....So I upgraded my entire system to water cooled

Time for me to share

 

First is my Captain America hoodie that is the genuine marvel, not a cheap copy! Random photo

 

And I bought an aluminium Captain America shield which is SOOOOOO cool! It's pretty heavy and lives on the wall, although I did use it for a fancy dress party in October

 

[Ekona]

I feel so much less geeky after that post.
