MARVELous..
Stumbled upon this little (or rather large) piece of collectible this evening.
Awesome..
Some research later, I found out that only 250 were produced and all were sold. Shame. Though to be brutally honest, I can think of much more worthwhile ways to spend $400 odd. However, knowing me and my impulse buying on items like this, it would have ended up in the post on the way to me, with my bank balance taking an unnecessary dent. I guess its for the best that the stock had gone.
Or so one would think… the related items told a very different and an even more awesome prospect…
*sigh*
Too much to collect, not enough money to discard.
On a slightly more realistic note, I found out that the Superhero Squad collection I have recently purchased has (or is soon to be) expanded.. I have all of Marvel set 1 and Spiderman set 1. According to THIS SITE there is a SET 2 already out, and a third and fourth set in the pipeline for April and May! Thankfully they are little novelty items and affordable ones at that… I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for these little gems to appear in the shops. Starting my own little Marvel force here I am..
Roll on next month when I have an extra room to expand into and there’s somewhere to display all of this stuff!

I won’t tell you what I saw on the dealer floor at the Comic-Con in San Diego - it would only depress you. I almost hate going there, I always spend too much.

Every year since the early ’80’s - I live in ‘Dago’, and get comped by a pal. Lottsa walking, and my eyes are always shot after watching previews and such. I’ve met so many artists and writers it boggles my mind. I’ve got friends and family in the business, and never seem to escape it completely. The dealer floor has every possible thing you can imagine and then some. ‘Little Nemo’ newspaper strips from the 1900s for only a few thou,
- and plenty of affordable loot - my brain hurts after a weekend there. Saturdays at the Con, I go dressed as No. 6 from ‘The Prisoner’ TV show - it’s quite fun. If you ever wander over here, plan it around the Comic-Con, you’ll never regret it.

Oh man.. too cool..
haha - I’d love to get over there one day. Problem is though, I’d cash my ticket home in for Com-Con dollars and I’d spend every last cent on goodies there and be stranded in San Diego
