  1. Speaking of the full list of exhibitors, is it posted online? I can't find it on the show website.
  2. I don’t want to buy anything. I just saw this was listed under popular threads and wanted to be with the cool kids.
  3. And if you’re not on your usual browser with bookmarks, you can go through Google. Type in “block ebay bidder” and you’re one click away, no need to navigate.
  4. Any post that includes the phrase "ham-fisted" is okay by me!
  5. Signature on the first two is close; the third looks different but might just be rushed. Perhaps the OP made different versions over time? Assuming those three different seller locations are legit (they do have different listing styles), it’s possible they are just folks who naively bought from the OP and are now selling the books, perhaps hoping to make some coin as opposed to some harleypool Hilltop cabal.
  6. Both Heritage and Clink have shipped with anonymous return addresses as long as I can remember. I think Heritage says "Ustic" and Clink says "Josh Nathanson" above "Clink". Haven't had any problems with theft in my neighborhood, but I'm glad they aren't advertising the contents of the box.
  7. Answered some of mine, too, thanks! My blocked ebayer list is now one name longer.
  8. But what if he genuinely felt the item was not as described? He returned it as he was supposed to using the address you supplied. If your correspondence with him was anything like your posts in this thread I’m not surprised he hasn’t returned your messages.
  9. I went with Junior last weekend; the missus was away. We both enjoyed it thoroughly and I’m sure she would have, too. I think he was the only one in the theater who recognized the scene from Them!
  10. I completely forgot about the auction. Maybe I'll remember the next round.
  11. Whoops. I guess it was 2 years ago Darkowl asked for the best film. A bit late, but here’s my list: Godzilla Godzilla vs. Mothra (aka Godzilla vs The Thing) The Terror of Mechagodzilla Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack Godzilla: Tokyo SOS I would suggest watching them in the original Japanese, especially the first film which was heavily re-edited. We own and enjoy them all (at least the 28 films up to the current series). These days most everything is available in beautiful Blu-ray or DVD copies with both original and dubbed versions There are three different periods of production not counting the modern films: Shōwa period (1954–1975) Heisei period (1984–1995) Millennium period (1999–2004) Don’t forget there’s lots of other great kaiju eiga films besides Godzilla; War of the Gargantuas leaps to mind. And it looks like Criterion now has distribution rights for many of them: https://bloody-disgusting.com/home-video/3469049/criterion-collection-obtained-showa-era-godzilla-films/
  12. I missed the blast off in the Sales Thread, but we're off in running in the Probation Forum. Smoking at the starting gate, on fire at the finish line!
  13. I hope it keeps going! I love zany threads where the OP winds up shooting their own foot.
