A general discussion of collecting cool things, such as vintage and modern toys, comic books, ephemera.
It’s been a while since I took some action figure photos, so I hit the toy store the other day to see what I could find. Check out this awesome Robocop figure by Neca. That is the spitting image of Peter Weller! And here’s the full body profile. I love those pistons on the back [...]
Saturday morning was dark and stormy, but that didn’t stop me from from trying to find a yard sale or two. The sales were sparse and many of the people who had advertised, got scared off by the impending doom that the dark clouds were threatening. At a church sale I visited, only two people [...]
Fellow League member, Jon over at doubledumbassonyou, is running a weeklong celebration of Star Trek, in celebration of the new movie coming out this weekend. Illogically, I asked if the rest of the League could piggyback on his idea. So, in what may be the ONLY week ever devoted to the franchise, this week’s topic [...]
Last week, the League of Extraordinary Bloggers was asked to tell us who and what they would take with them for a 10-year stay on a deserted island. For the wrap-up, I’m only going to list the pop culture character the League members chose, so be sure to click through to read the rest! Tattoo Rudy… and [...]

Pulp-O-Mizer is a graphic designer’s worst nightmare–but it’s so cool! And it really works, check out this cover I put together in just a few [...]
So, who’s been watching Toy Hunter this season? I’ve caught every episode and the host, Jordan Hembrough, has really uncovered some gems. I especially enjoyed the episode with the Eternia playset and Buck Rogers vehicles. If you do watch the show live, log in to Twitter and follow the hashtag #toyhunter. Jordan is usually live tweeting [...]
I’ve recently received a bunch of great items from fellow collectors, but have neglected giving them the proper thanks here on the site. To be honest, I had every intention to put up individual thank you’s, but once I fell behind, they kind of snowballed and the only way I can clear the plate is [...]
The King Kong World Tour continues as Kong hitched a ride in the back of a watermelon truck and ended up in Atlanta, Georgia with a hankering for some Southern comfort food. Raaaaaa! It’s the Branded in the 80′s headquarters! The latest stop on the World Tour was with Shawn Robare, who kindly offered to [...]
I think EVERY neighborhood in northern Virginia was having a community yard sale this past weekend.
