I would say prices were all over the map. Classic covers seemed to kill it but books like Batman 11 seemed to go a little cheap. Of course anything I was watching went on the high side and therefore not into my collection.

A few more toys added to the collection

I am not doing the earlier kits right now and doubt I will. Have thought about the sports sets but haven’t made any move yet and likely wont. I don’t really like the later kits that were remakes either. For the crazy expensive kits like Godzilla and King Kong cars, I don’t have them and seriously doubt I ever will. The Gigantic Frankenstein kit I got below what I expected to pay. The Lost in Space big kit probably paid current price. For the robot, got a big bargain on it. The recent opened but with the cellophane Godzilla Go Kart went for the price of a new car. I have one Weird-Ohs kit and keep my eyes open for others (love the card sets). There are a few other kits I am watching for that aren’t Auroras. I am looking forward to being able to display all of them plus some toys in a few years.

Not I didn't see it. For the bigger kits, the boxes always get smashed some because the shrink wrap keeps shrinking

I see unsealed kits for the Wooly Mammoth some times but not a sealed one

Group shot of all my Prehistoric Scenes collection (minus dupes). I split them out by Dinosaurs and Mammals

Jungle Swamp comes up pretty often. The one you don't see is the Wooly Mammoth

Two dinosaur kits left to go ! One comes up fairly often and one very rarely

Completed my Forgotten Prisoner set, 98, 100, and Frightening Lightning

Hakes winnings are in the house Quite a few packages to open

I learned to make furniture from my dad, he made customer furniture for about 30 years. This will be made from 3/4 inch birch plywood, filled, sanded, then spray painted white.

I am still refining the plans but this is sort of what my shelving unit will look like. I sill need to add the side pieces that will finish covering the wall.

They are displayed in a hodge podged way. Some in one room, some in another, lots you can't see. Current state of the collection, 104 kits and counting.

All the high grade in this next auction

My office is 330sqft and I will have a 20ft x 9ft shelf system on one wall to fill so storage isn't going to be an issue for quite a while.

My guess is the grader was drunk from drinking fermented pickle juice while incapsulating it

Amazing collection

I have a loose Dr Evil and Captain Action I bought for $15 each at a comic book store. Captain Action has all the accessories but the Dr Evil only has his clothes

She knows better than to ask now

I bet I still have a few of the scans I got in a box someplace, color printouts were expensive back then

I can only imagine what the bathrooms look like at Metropolis now that Rob is gone

Nope, but the IRS is keeping a close eye on us !

The company I work for has created about 10,000 employee millionaires and more than 1/2 that multi-millionaires

At least the catalog has images, that's a big step forward
