  1. To have a memory chip from the Star Trek tv (or movie) series is actually cool. Almost feels like you got it from an actual starship. Great score!
  2. Up on list as one of the biggest holes in my collection. Actually, I usually start with 3 choices in what I most want to seek. Each time I successfully found a book that met my requests on condition, paper qualify and price, I move to the next on list down. At the moment, the holes are:: Archie's Pal Jughead #3 - 11 Flash #123 or 105 The Jughead books are hard to find in high grade. I have #1 and 2 in above 8.0, so I want to find # 3 to 11 in same grade-wise. I got funds for them ... It is the finding that is tough. Flash #123 is something I want to replace my poor copy, so it kinda bugs me to find one within my budget I can afford. I have several others on list but these ones above are the top most wanted. As soon I have it, I crossed it off and move to next.
  3. Got a question regarding one comic book I just found. While I'm aware this thread is for double covers, is there a thread for triple covers? I have "Spider-Man Unlimited" #1 with 3 covers stapled in.
  4. Good, that give me more time to hunt up NM98 in undiscovered spots to flip. Pretty sure there are still some stowed somewhere ... Of course if someone hasn't seen the movie yet! By now, I bet every kid on every block of everywhere in North America now know who Deadpool is! < install sarcasm>
  5. +1. I don't like Hawkman and Hawkgirl at all. I hate to say it, but I find myself wondering why she didn't get her teeth fixed instead of being impressed by her flying. The other part that bothers me is the Atom. For someone who is supposed to be a genius, he comes off as being too doofy. So far Captain Cold is my favorite and he looks dumb in that snorkel coat with the big gun. He's not a superhero, he just has a big gun. There are just too many characters at once and no one is wonderful.They need a charismatic person and they don't have one. Captain Cold is as close as they get. The White Canary is a decent actress, but they don't use her well. Professor Stein had more Charisma in the Flash. He's no Dr Wells here, and Rip Hunter has a cool accent, but you really know nothing about him except he has a cute toy assistant. I usually love all these shows, but I think I'm going to try one more of these and quit. I may have to agree on many points of yours. I find myself not warming up as I was watching the second episode last night. I had wondered since from the Atom's debut, why the suit on him? And then there is his acting ... he's not doing quite good what I see. Hawkman and Hawkgirl ... Still not buying how they look but this is TV we are taking of. But their flying acts are not that bad. Heh, her teeth? I had the same thought but was thinking the director must had picked her for some reason? Oh well... I had put this series on record so I can watch some more later and can stop anytime if I don't like.
  6. With many not liking the first episode of the X-Files return, some others do like that. I'm of the latter and I like it so far. I had seen almost many seasons in the past and liked it a lot. The first episode kind of summarized many things what Mulder had been tried to prove in the past. Second episode pick up from where the duo alway do - get back to the weird stuff. With one new add, they had a son that got kidnapped by aliens? think this is one case they'll have tough time to resolve.
  7. Yeah. .. truly legit like a bad penny!
  8. This site looks good ... So far I had tested with a few books and numbers to see what it is like in finding the right book to get. Hmm, I could see some possibles in there. Thanks for your hard work in setting it up!
  9. So that is why you went for it? Forgive me but haven't you heard of a conventer type unit where you can marry a LCD tv with a Anglog video game system? I have one that I used to marry my old VHS machine to a LCD tv. Not sure if I still have it ... It's somewhere in storage here.
  10. Same with my calendar too. All marked in! Even I'm dropping out eBay... When Dale is having the sale, it's a no Brainer!
  11. It's official... my wallet went fainted with a shocking open mouth, tongue hanging out! Bring it on!
  12. I may want put in order for 5, if you'll be offering that by next week. I need to time my free time in driving over the U.S. Border. My holidays are coming up then.
  13. Remember back then when they tried to create the first Flash series on TV? They had complained how expensive to create "super speed" effects. And now they are saying how expensive to create King Shark? Wonder what are they saying about "super speed" effects and super-feats now? Too much cost? All I know is that I wanna see more of that every week!
  14. Watched the show last night after a follow-up with last week's show (taped it before). Great effects with Red Tornado and Supergirl fight, the scene of her heat vision with her face in anger was the best I've seen. Right from the comics straight! then this last night ... At the ending. Hark revealed as Jonn J'onzz? Didn't see that until I watched Hark explained what happened to her father ... I soon realized where it is going. I said no... Way? It was awesome to see him shapeshift into the Martian! Should I say that could be the beginning of Justice Leaque for TV sometimes in near future?
  15. Most recent comic I picked up that has manufactured error ... Betty and Veronica comics annual #236 digest. The covers were glued upside-down and backward. The interior pages were read from back to front.
  16. Got a question for you. Do you have a short box for GA/SA comics that are bagged and boarded with measures 7 3/4 W by 10 3/4 H? I use the size to fit in these older comics. The regular comic boxes are smaller in width. Looking to buy pack of 5. Thanks!
  17. Seen the first episode and it come out quite good. I like it and will see the next one next Monday!
  18. I had brought some comics from him last year, I think. He was great in his messages sent to me. Sorry to learn that he had passed gone! condolences to his family for their loss .... RIP
  19. Here are two comics I had mentioned recently. Action Comics #428 Binky #75
  20. Today. I had found 2 comics with double covers among the lot I brought from CL. I am only went through 1/3 by inspect and still have more yet to check. What are the odds in finding 2 comics or more? Which being up another question... What is the value in having double covers in all grades? This is something I don't see in guide given the topic subject. I will take photos to show the ones I found later
  21. Seem to me everyone can spot this one as the first to say. Yes, it is, but I'll be honest to say it is in low VG cond. That Is all I can say, this thread here isn't the place to do.
  22. Today I picked up a lot of silver/bronze comic books from a guy. He texted me as I had brought some books from him in the past. So he come back to me with more books Nearly most are DC titles... Action Comics, Superman, Batman, Detective and serval more titles. Some assorted comics like Disney, Harvey etc. Photos showing some of what I got... ...And I have lot more, about over 200 books.
