Nope. Sounds typical to me. While my wife enjoys playing and checking out all the new minis she has zero interest in inventory control. I think it is jsut one of those areas in which men and women differe completely. They simply cannot see how we find things like counting our minis and setting them up in ranks as being fun. | |

As far as my wife helping no way. However my 7 and 5 year olds are a great help in finding "matches". Only down side is I usually have to confiscate all the female minis from my 5 year old. She likes to take the "princesses" up in her room I know at least one Evermeet Wizard has been liberated never to be seen again. | |

| | I talked my wife into to helping me once, this was back when i only had 200-300 mini's. It has never happened again since, now that i have 2000 mini's i would have to agree to something severe to get her to even just think about helping. Ill stick to being anal retentive about my orginization by myself and let her have her shopping every day habit. | |

The year: 1994. From out of space comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction! Man's civilization is cast in ruin!
Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn...
A strange new world rises from the old: a world of savagery, super science, and sorcery. But one man bursts his bonds to fight for justice! With his companions Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel, he pits his strength, his courage, and his fabulous Sunsword against the forces of evil.

| My wife:
"Your counting, re-organizing, and taking an inventory of your miniature collection AGAIN?"
And then turns her back to me and hufs away.Â
But heaven forbid if I:
"Your watching, taking notes on, and planning on what you can use in our home from that Home and Garden show AGAIN?"
And then I turn my back to her and head for my mini collection.Â

| My 13-year old shows a little interest because he likes to paint some of them. My 18-year old really doesn't care; although he uses the minis in both skirmish and D&D, he doesn't want to help me keep track of them. My wife keeps telling me to insure them, but she shows no other interest.

| My wife was gonna help me open and sort when my cases of Blood War came, but I started saying things like, "No no no...you can't open them like that, it's bad luck....See, you pulled the LoBster."
I then got to open and sort them all by myself... | |

Difficult to do, since most insurance companies will ask for an appraisal (and no slight against Madda and his work, but his guide wouldn't count).

Ditto, why would the insurance company care if they're stamps or minis?
