A feelie for TF2 I wish I had a real Balisong (Butterfly Knife), but they are illegal in Denmark so I guess I have to stick with my Lego one.
In game replica I have an action figure of Tassadar from Starcraft.
When my ToMI Deluxe has arrived I will have a bit more.
I really wish I had a real butterfly knife, but the good ones are all expensive, and while I know they're illegal in public, I'm not sure about their legality for home use. I have a couple friends who just bought a few of them online, though.
Anyway, I'm pretty happy with my trainer. All the weight and balance of a real balisong without the chance of lacerating my hand while trying to do tricks.
You can get trainers? Cool, I need to look into that.
A lego one is all well and good, but its clunky and to light and I can only really do 2 tricks with it.
Yeah, didn't you see my trainer in the first post? The one I bought came highly recommended, and I have to agree, it's a good one and not very expensive. It's manufactured by Bear and Son, and I got it from knifecenter.com for about $30.
I will warn you, some places don't like to ship them outside the country just because it can be mistaken for a knife, so you may have to find out who will ship to Denmark.
Yeah, that is what worries me. Or maybe it looks so close to a real one, it will be stopped at customs or something. So I will have to look at what my options are, or just get used to my Lego one.
I'm having trouble imagining how a Lego one would work.
Also, there's the BaliYo, which is a balisong-styled space pen manufactured by Spyderco. On the plus side, it's plastic and can't possibly be mistaken for a knife, plus you can get one for pretty cheap. The downside is that it's plastic, so even with the small metal weights they add to the handles, it's still very lightweight. That said, I've had lots of practice and can do pretty much everything I can do with my trainer with my pen.

Okay, perhaps home possession would've been better phrasing. When I was borrowing my friend's, I used it for opening things, since it was nearby and easily opened with one hand.

I think my kitchen knives win then, because they all are already "open". Don't see the point of a butterfly knife, other than "come at my home and look at me, I'm badass, because I can do tricks with a knife". Or of course "I'll kill you!"
Except for when you're in the basement, away from the kitchen, one room over from the room in which your butterfly knife resides.
Honestly, I'm not arguing that it makes sense to buy a butterfly knife specifically to use for stuff like that, but if you do happen to have one, that can be a convenient use for it. They're more for collection value and learning tricks, which isn't any less stupid than learning card shuffling tricks or how to flip poker chips.
Also, before I borrowed it, my friend once used his to break into his car by prying the little side window open. Not saying it's the smartest use, though.
You have no idea how long the folder took me to do in Photoshop, considering how incredibly poor I am at it, but I think I nailed it. I think I even found the exact font they used for "TOP SECRET".
Oh, that'll be plenty easy. My friend is going as the BLU Scout. I have to admit, I'm a bit worried, as I can't imagine him in that costume. Up next: the Electro-Sapper! Tomorrow, after I get the hardware on it.
A norn doll from Creatures 2
Edward Carnby figure from Alone in the Dark (best thing about the game lol)
All the maps and encyclopedia stuff that came with the Zork collection
Posters, stickers etc from various games (not that exciting though)
A weighted companion cube plushie
All the telltale feelies huzzah
The book of patterns, grail diary, memoirs of Guybrush threepwood etc all in one book.
and the one small collection I adore but still need to finish, keyrings and pins from Planescape (Technically not a game, though there IS a video game of it, it's a D&D campaign setting)
These things are freaking awesome!
I also have tons of D&D maps and guide books for taverns in world and all sorts of cool stuff hah.
I'll upload more pics later.
Also intending to set to work on making a Bobbin doll. I just need to get around to finding an appropriate hand drill to cut into the head, wire up a blue LED and sew some robes eheheh.
Here are some posters- I have more but they're stuck somewhere and I haven't taken pics yet. The Sonic 2 and JP posters are from the original box for the Genesis console.

I think I have those two posters. I'll have to look for them. I'd like to put the Sonic 2 one up, even with the folds in it.

And it even says in your post, Butterfly Knife Trainer.
Hmm, will have to have a look into that, maybe I can actually get it because it's a fake.

later. eating.
It's made out of those pieces from Bionicle, even a video on youtube how to build it.
And looks like Balisongs is just illegal here, wither is sharp or not.
Post office here will just send it strait back, no matter what.
Well it's and option, and I can write with it.
Don't think I will have a problem getting that across the border.
You're obsessed! ;O)

Ah well, I could stab people with my pencils as well, so everything is a weapon anyway.
I want to know how you got these things. i want one!
That said. Does a plushie of a Shadow Gelert count?
More to come soon...

Yes?
They actually *are* the game models. Behold the magic of 3D printers.
Why did you have to go and do that?
