A general discussion of collecting cool things, such as vintage and modern toys, comic books, ephemera.
A stack of packages was waiting for me when I returned from vacation this past weekend, and I wanted to be sure to give proper shout-outs to everyone who made my return feel like Christmas morning. First up was an envelope of groovy swag from one of the best retro websites out there, Plaid Stallions. [...]
The Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) is taking place this weekend, with the highlight of the event being the Captain America: the First Avenger auction by Profiles in History. Profiles in History’s Fong Sam, is a friend of the site and I asked him to send over a few photos of their exhibit booth [...]
Check out this awesome fan art poster for Captain America by Kevin Howdeshell. I found this poster this morning thanks to my latest addiction–Pinterest. Pinterest is an image sharing site similar to Tumblr, where you can “pin” photos and images you find online to a virtual “pinboard.” I never got into Tumblr, but I am [...]
Here are some pictures of the Aurora model kits boxes I added to the collection last weekend. Most of these are in amazing condition, especially when you consider they are around 50 years old.

Captain America: The First Avenger will debut this weekend and this movie has really stepped it up in regards to their movie posters. The posters for this movie just keep coming and they get better and better. Earlier this week, Mondo entered the ring and unveiled posters by three of their top artists which will [...]
I saw this new poster surface on the interwebs last week and was real impressed by it. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of illustrative posters more so than the photo portraits we’ve been seeing a lot of lately, and this one is really well done. This is such a great, patriotic image, [...]
Marvel Studios is set to release a new Captain America movie this summer, and we can only hope it lives up to the same level of awesome as displayed in their 1979 offering… A hang glider attached to his motorcycle. Sweet! There was romance — and Christopher Lee playing magic hands! Cap’s jet-powered bike launches [...]
