Ant-Man

I'm hoping this one just needs better batteries (5 Ds for goodness sake). The machine is immaculate, the box survived, so I'm hoping we just need some juice.

All three work! The movement from left-to-right on Space Invaders will stick a little, but still playable (I think it's my brothers' anyway). That bad boy was 29.95 back in '81. Played an entire game of football as soon as I found a 9-volt. 16-0 final (I forgot about safties!).

Merlin (left) is working just fine. My youngest was playing last night & thought it was pretty cool. Split Second didn't work w/batteries, but I'm hoping that the wall adapter will change things.

Drove in to see mom yesterday & was told to start taking more of my carp to my house. Today, we have some electronics.

Price tag from Osco says 18.99, but the joy on Christmas morning when pong showed up on the screen instead of cartoons ...

I need to pick up some "C" batteries and make sure it still works, but I'm confident.

picked these up today at the LCS

 

Steranko Cap.

It would have been easier if they put a month on it, and not just Fall 1991. Technically, December is Fall, so the justice league issue could have been released before it or simulaniously, but I doubt it. I think you're probably right. I looked and I couldn't find any sonic threads.

Based on some PMs I had related to Sonic, the threads were from late '09, so the search function won't find 'em.

The Fall 1991 date does make it tougher to pin down which came first, especially if we don't know how the mini was distributed. I don't know if this was on the stands with the regular books, a video game promotion, special order, etc. I know several people on these boards look up print runs & distribution figures all the time. Maybe there would be some data for the fall of '91 months (and/or the months preceding?) that would tell us when it shipped/came out (if it was, in fact, on the stands). If not, I'm still stumped.

Heroes will be epic this year! David Peterson, Jeremy Bastian, Janet Lee; all great artists with very unique styles in one spot. Have to find an extra Mouse Guard FCBD HC for a 3x SS

Was thinking about that myself. I don't see why not, but do we know if CGC will slab the Mouse Guard FCBD HC? It's not breaking new ground as far as thickness, but it is an odd size. Just curious.

Here are my recent Silver Surfer acquisitions. My goal is to get all 18 original issues, although numbers 1 and 4 will be tougher given how expensive they are. So far I've got 9 down, 9 to go.

That is a great series to complete. Half way there!

That's to bad I was hoping to see this book turn out to be a great anime T.V. show

Never say never.

Nice pickup, congrats.

BTW, the Mouse Guard movie/TV show mentioned at the top of the page is off. I spoke to Dave @ C2E2 again this year and it just didn't work out. The good news is that he'll be able to spend his time working on comics now.

There were some older Sonic threads at one point, but I think Maloney has it right.

From Greg Reece @ C2E2.

My modest "12 cent rounds" collection has tripled after C2E2. I was extremely happy that this book didn't get picked up during the Greg Reece winter sale here on the boards. White pages.

That was the only 'big' book (for me, anyhow) that I was expecting to get, when what to my wondering eyes should appear but an affordable copy of Loki's first appearance at the same booth.

I really need to have my eyes stop wondering ...

Peanuts.

From the days when Lego Space sets were new

 

 

 

 

Our daughters & their younger cousin have discovered the treasure trove of Legos belonging to my brother & I, including these specific space sets. Every time we go to see grandma & grandpa, the Legos come out & we're shown the latest updates to their house on the moon. Of course, whenever I try to offer suggestion, I'm told not to touch anything.

Got a green label on this one. I didnt know if it would get a blue or green being a Dynamic Forces. I had the certificate with it.

Unwitnessed sig on cover = green label

Unwitnessed sig on interior = blue label

Not bad at all.

A nice week indeed!

Crime Suspenstories 22 CGC 4.5 Universal C/OW

CGC did not make a notation on the label about the book being signed (by Bill Gaines) on the first page. I guess when the book drops below a certain grade, they disregard the mention of any interior writing, ie "Name written on first page in pen". Oh well.

Not so. I have a 1.8 book that received the notation. Might have just been missed.

Nice pair of KISS mags.

And there's a whole other magazine thread that could use some updates now and then ...

She's a beauty!

My first Cap ...

Not bad at all for a first sub! Congrats!!

Can't help but think of Ford Fairlane, featuring Andrew Dice Clay as the rock 'n' roll detective.
