  1. The only good part about this ridiculous show was Tessa Thompsons naked bottom.
  2. What a lovely vista. Where's that as the wifey want's to move there! What a beautiful sight to wake up to (the view, not my wife...)
  3. Suprising lack of comments. They did this really well. A slow start had me worried but by ep #6 it was full steam ahead. The kids all acted well, in fact much better than the adults (Steve Williams aside as always) - the mother was especially poor. Dodge wasn't as scary as hoped, and I did ask why she didn't put the effort into her performance, when her acting whilst going through omega was excellent. Great ending, the 'soldiers' interacted well, and nicely built for season 2. Eps #1 - #4 - 5/10 #5 - #6 - 6.5/10 #7 - #10 - 9/10 Well worth the effort to grind through the first couple as it finishes extremely well. Highly recommended
  4. antzpantz_undies Anthony Tran - complete waste of oxygen. Avoid, as doesn't like to pay, and then wants to haggle.
  5. Seems to me, if you aren't wearing a swimming costume - well you're safe.
  6. $145 delivered from interstate. Lots of drekky $5 stuff, but the Star Wars books alone gets my $$ back. Thundercats #1 is the 'pick' (very low bar set here...!) , plus run of Uncanny X-Men, Invincible, Deadpool, both Robocop's etc Couple of 1950's Tarzans and some signed books. Small finds, but keep me ticking over.
  7. So what happened? Did we see any nice pics of the 'key' books? (yes I know there are a few in 1st post but he had over 2000 to go through yet...) Who was the lucky dealer who got the books? Enquiring minds and all that....
  8. This thread is the ultimate '1st world problem' Who gives a rats behind what some faceless folks on the internet think. Your books, so if you like them, that should be enough. Facebook likes..... Jesus wept.
  9. #7 - great shout. Not sure any character called Kilowog will ever make the movie screen - plus there are literally hundreds of thousands of copies out there. But GL #7 is a really good call. TTA #52 for me.
  10. Yup. You play the CPR game, you don't always win. I sounded like Tyrion Lannister then. Spooky.
  11. Other box finally arrived. Usual lazy drek phone pic. 26 Vampirella's USA and Aus for $26 including delivery (which was $12!) - result. Nothing special, some in average condition (to be kind) but 26 1970's/80's Vampi's for $14 is my kinda deal)
  12. Think there is another I found - Whitman The Black Hole #4, and another Disney one - both in multi-packs only. Once again the boards teaches me something new!
  13. Australia suffered badly at the hands of the Japanese forces as well. Our population back then was under 7,000,000. We lost 40,000 troops. Darwin was bombed, Over 600 died and 1500 wounded on Kokoda (with most wounded dying during the Japanese 'death marches' from camp to camp) and Bangka Island when Japanese soldiers machine gunned 22 Nurses - 21 died along with 60 out of 62 wounded Australian troops who were shot and bayoneted. The troops and Nurses had surrendered long before being killed) I think because now, we have so many Japanese,Chinese Koreans etc living in Australia (a very, very significant number), that wounds healed a lot quicker. Certainly now and for some time, Asian-Australians are very welcome, and contribute hugely to the well-being and financial growth of the country. I'm sure back in WW2 Australians had exactly the same feelings about the Japanese as the USA.
  14. @ADAMANTIUM You are too kind...Mate, this is a "I have 1500 listings on my store to fill,so I'm buying anything I can sell that is cheap and will return a profit" buy. It's bloody tough to find anything in the wild of any significance at the moment. Everyone is suddenly an online comic and ephemera 'expert' - I can't recall so many new sellers popping up (and disappearing when they realise it's hard work) as there are currently. It's getting very tough in OZ. What's it like in the good old USA - same or better?
  15. Drek and bad phone pics. Whats not to like? 300 mads - $145 delivered to me from interstate - plus another box of better stuff yet to arrive (but not much better...)
  16. I really don't want to fight so just, I dunno, absorb this post. You fell foul of your 9.8 grading before and quite a few of us suggested maybe not to be so specific (9.8) about a grade. You lost that case. You then come back after doing exactly the same, being challenged for another return, and boast about finding a loophole to stiff the other guy. This just doesn't sit well with me I'm afraid. If you say you have a 9.8 book, then stand by that. You were (if I recall correctly) making $150 off a raw book. You got one wrong, so surely the better option would be to accept the return,refund the buyer and relist your 9.6 book in a slab - or resub it if you are super confident it IS a 9.8 Your model seems to serve you well, but sorry dude, if I was making $150 on a raw book that will be ice-cold next month, I'd just take the hit and gracefully accept it. I certainly wouldn't come on here boasting about being in the wrong but getting away with it because of a technicality. That's just me, your mileage clearly differs.
  17. Is this a low-print run or something? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Winnie-The-Pooh-22-First-Printing-1980-Whitman-Comic-Book/254185088213?hash=item3b2e9ca4d5:g:jV0AAOSwTQNcJvvl Genuine question.
  18. Well thanks Andrew for ensuring my morning list flew past with complete and utter inattention to both patients. Luckily the ventilator has alarms.... Both surgeons did stop to look at your MD run of books and had a healthy discussion about treating death row prisoners with terminal illnesses. So I read your thread from start to finish, and we did two procedures instead of 3 due to arguing about comics and the anatomical impossibilities of various Jungle Girls. The tax payers of Victoria salute you. Cracking thread you should be very proud of your collection. I've also just been informed we will be working late to add this mornings patient to the afternoon list. Which is a little bit wanky.
  19. 1 + 2 were great, but 3 was awful - I couldn't stand Ewen McGregor. Now Mary Elizabeth Winstead on the other hand, I could watch all day. Lets hope it gets back to it's wacky humour and mindless violence combo which worked so well in the movie and 1st 2 series.
  20. ParcelPoint in Australia is ebays return 'partner' And you have to drop the items off - no pickups
  21. I've currently got a retuen to the seller in progress - shows 'in transit'. As it has for 10 days (it's an 8 hr drive max) - the couriers seem to have 'lost it'. I suspect they didn't scan it as delivered. So, ebay are making me wait for 28 days before refunding me - I'm assumimg after they get the refund from the courier. It was ebays own return policy - I'd never use the courier they chose. So seller sends me junk.I use ebays return policy and follow it to the letter, item gets lost - and I have to wait another 28 days to get my money back (nearly 40 in total) It's a little bit flaccid really. At least I WILL get a refund.Shame ebay/paypal keeps all the interest on all our money being held......
