Help needed and fast, I need saving!!!!

[Susan]

Help I really need saving from the dreaded lava lamp obsession!!! It's cost me a bomb this weekend in lamps. Now I've gone and bought another one on ebay just now, with another one that I want to bid on tonight. I really need some serious help to stop this now, it's getting silly.

I know I'm surrounded by fellow goo heads on here, but surely it isn't normal to buy five lamps in one weekend................:)

Awww Susan, I've bought ten at a time off of eBay, back in the beginning of my collection. I don't think I'm the right one to talk to, LOL. I can say, in my experience, that once I got the majority of my collection, the obsession dwindled for nearly 3 years. Till I discovered my Wizards....

[Paul]

We've all been there

[Brian]

yup

[Susan]

Oh great, well at least I know that I've not got up to Ten in one go yet............might be ten by the end of the week. :)

[mandysbus]

we have bought 27 at one time...including a giant

[Susan]

27 lamps in one go..........................27!!!! wow, maybe I don't need any help after all.

*I'm* the wrong person to ask, as I have four on the way this week and am currently basking in the glow of my vanilla/clear YELLOW SUBMARINE lamp that I got for a song!

I didn't realize the lamps for these were 52 oz...were the Yellow Sub lamps considered icon series or something else?

Charles

[☆VixenGypsy☆]

Not really an icon series. Vandor produced alot of commercial pieces with LW, Marvel, DC, multiple music icons... Is your beauty a faded Blue/White? I'm asking cause that's what they came with. But congrats on the snatch, well done!

[Charles]

Nah...its a vanilla-ish white with clear liquid. Might be a faded yellow, I suppose.


But the liquid is crystal clear.

Top has no large numbers, two lines of small numbers. Very faded, so this may not be exact:

103A990648
then

I am saying to myself NO MORE................it isn't working though. I'm building a collection of replacement bottles for my astrobabies. Only problem is, to get the different colours for those lamps I'm having to buy loads of full lamps.....hehe.................

I just told Hubby that there's a parcel on the way...................various words were used but they included "what another lava lamp is it" Told him it was for him as I think it is a magic purple one. I said "it's for you, you wanted a blue one, well, I've got you a blue one. Only it's special as it's blue water and blue wax while it's cold then blue water and purple wax when hot....."

[Charles]

Wow..I mean its 100% crystal clear liquid !!!

[Susan]

What the heck.....................goodness me. Is that a purple liquid yellow wax astro bottle I can see, that looks really, really great.
