Hit the Dollar bin today. Didn’t score big, but I did fill in some gaps in the collection and snagged a Black Widow #1. So not a bad little haul for $24.

My flcs has this line for sale so I couldn’t resist grabbing one for my Joes collection.

Forgot to post up my present that my awesome wife got me for Christmas: Samurai Boba Fett. This week’s pickup was not as big as that, but still cool; Yajirobe’s Angels.

It is the giant one. Got a decent deal on it. I'm super picky about what tmnt stuff I add to the collection because there was sooooo much.

Hello all. I just wanted to let people know about the Crossroads Comic Con that I am running in December. This is the second time I am putting this on (the first was in 2017) and am looking forward to seeing it grow. I know con is a misnomer in this case as we are only doing a one day event this year, but we wanted it in there for easier branding as we grow. At this point we have over 30 tables signed up, and will be expanding into more rooms if I continue to get dealer table requests. If any of you are located in the pacific northwest and able to make it, we hope that you could join us. The event will be in the Holiday Inn, Salem and runs from 10 am to 3 pm on Sunday, December 13. Early bird entry begins at 9:00 am. Entry is $5 at the door, unless you are an early entry, and then it is $8.00. Feel free to message me for more details. Thanks!

I was excited to get this guy last Saturday. I picked up a big run of IDW's TMNT from facebook marketplace and this Krang from a local toy collector/dealer. Then we watched the TMNT Toys that made us to wrap up the Turtle themed weekend.

Thanks. I didn’t see it for some reason on my initial search. I’m not sure it’s quite what I’m looking for since it seems to cover all 2nd printings and not just the gold covers. I will look closer at it later when I’m at my computer to make sure I’m not missing something.

Yeah, I’ve started, but sorting through eBay is not the most efficient of methods because you get a lot of stuff you aren’t looking for as well as I won’t know if something is missing if eBay doesn’t have one for sale.

I’ve decided that I’d like to collect these cool gold and silver variations. Is there a list that has all the ones that were printed? I appreciate any help. Thanks

Hey all, I’m hoping someone on here may be able to help me out. I’m trying to track down Rod Ruth original Dinosaur art but not sure where some good places to search for it are. I’ve looked on Heritage and EBay, but haven’t found really much of anything. Do any of you know if his work was ever available for sale? I don’t know that he ever did comics but I know he did a number of science fiction covers before primarily working on nature art. Any help Is appreciated, thanks.

Thank you. I passed this onto the students and we will see where they lead. They are still trying to get more images off of the sample, so if any become available, I will share them.

The University of Washington has been holding an archaoelogical field school in Grand Ronde the past few years and have been investigating the old BIA school among other places. This article i am linking to describes a comic book piece that was found in the school's privy. If any of you recognize the character, or even better, the book that it came from, they would appreciate the help. Thanks in advance! https://blogs.uw.edu/gonzalsa/2018/04/03/its-a-bird-its-a-plane-its-a-comic-book-exploring-popular-culture-at-grand-ronde/
