Finally found the HW Batmobile this week. Pretty cool. Also, I found a '70 Chevelle ragtop redline. This one wasn't labeled as a Red Line; are they still labeling the Red Lines as such?

As for Matchbox, managed to get one of each of the the green 55th ann. models (Mini, Bronco and Lexus), and picked up yet another of my favorite model of the year...the Alfa Romeo Giulia.

How grand it feels to click your heels and join in the fun of the jigs and reels!

Oops, almost missed this!

I'm in, too.

My wife just bought a new laptop and left it on one day before dashing to work. I attempted to shut it down but couldn't figure out where the Shut Down command was in Vista (she had to show me later...ugh). I realized that technology had passed me by. I'm now a bit intimidated by all this stuff. My cell phone is a base model that probably does stuff I have no idea how to access or use. I've heard of an ipod (and actually want one...I've been looking to put all my Foghat tapes on digital!), but even my work computer is running on Win2000, so it's behind the times, too, and the newer ipods require XP. My last gaming system was a SuperNintendo bought back in '93, and I haven't a clue regarding any of the new systems (do they have Kaboom! and Pitfall!?). When the hell did I get so old and out of date with technology? Sure, having kids probably had something to do with this, but still, I feel I'm like my dad was back when he got his first computer (spending hours playing solitaire, lifting the mouse up and saying "crap!" all the time). Next thing you know I'll be chasing kids off my lawn at home.

Anyone else behind the times? Post anonymously, if needed.

...and just in time, since my methadone prescription has NO refills. 

Just an FYI for you Cars collectors, the Supercharged Sarge Car was part of the latest Mattel recall involving lead paint. I've bought a couple of these cars, and some I've given to my little girls. I have a Sarge that has the lead paint problem, but thankfully hadn't yet given it to my girls. I'll follow up to let you know how smooth/unsmooth the recall process is.

Well, received my $7 voucher in the mail the other day. It's good for any Mattel/Fisher-Price product. The whole process was pretty smooth and I'm actually surprised at how quickly I received it; I was thinking it would be many, many months.

I just got this one and opened it. Yeah, I know I'm behind the times with this, and it really isn't anything that hasn't been stated before, but I can't help but chirping in with my disappointment regarding this figure. Maybe you do or do not know, but I'm a big fan of all things Stormtrooper, so this figure's lackluster appearance is a big letdown. That helmet, well, it's too damn big! The figure also seems to be a tad bit shorter than the VOTC Stormie (even at the shoulder). And I think having Jango's head is unnecessary, to say the least. 

Just completed a great deal with Anthony for some super-cheap figures. He shipped superfast and was great all-around!
