A general discussion of collecting cool things, such as vintage and modern toys, comic books, ephemera.
History shows that pop culture icons become most collectible around 25-30 years after their height of popularity–this is when kids who grew up with the toy are old enough to get nostalgic, and have the funds available to seek out those treasures from their youth. Think about it, around 30 years ago, the most popular [...]
I may have mentioned this one or two (hundred) times, but I am a huge fan of the Halo video game franchise. Not only do I love the games, but I also devour the mythos and backstory of the Halo universe, so when a new art book comes out detailing aspects of the game, you [...]
I’m ready for the big day. Don’t bother to call or write, I’ll be busy. But don’t worry, I have everything I’ll need for the marathon session… It’s the Mountain Dew Halo 4 collector cans! How can you not get pumped up for the game seeing graphics like this? Here’s the Halo 3 can next [...]

I couldn’t resist this Warthog and Mongoose set, but they also have larger buildings based on the scenes from the video game. I have dreamed of building [...]
In generating hype for the launch of Halo 3, Microsoft spared no expense. I remember watching the Believe campaign in awe as the video game I had been playing for years was brought to life in a non-digital form. Microsoft produced this series of live action commercials to promote the game, building on the lore [...]
Halo fans have been waiting a long time for a Halo movie, but the wait is a whole lot more tolerable when we get videos like this one to tide us over. I can’t wait for episode 2!
Don’t listen to the rumors, I am still here! I took a hiatus for the last 10 days and virtually disappeared from the digital side of life. Christmas is the one time of year that I actually kick back and relax. Being self-employed, vacations are a rarity, but no one else is working over the Christmas [...]
