  1. How does it feel now, 9-1/2 years down the road?
  2. Thanks! Yes, the House of Too Many Toys. They get a lot of good use, though. He’s wanted to make movies for a while and has had a western concept in mind, but we’ve started out with these since they’re simpler. A nice side benefit is that he gets an understanding of how movies are put together.
  3. Do not use Oxi Clean. Its fine for everyday wash, but it's not exactly gentle on fabric. I had a shirt that got too much once and it came out an entirely different shade, as if it had been bleached. Hand wash it in Woolite if you want to clean it.
  4. Ultra Kaiju on YouTube is back! My son and I have finished and uploaded our latest offering, a trailer for Baby and Pigmon: The Movie. You can check it out here:
  5. Thanks for the comments everybody! Yeah, it's great getting old funnybooks for gifts. My wife is terrific.
  6. Picked this up at the LCS a few weeks ago.
  7. Just realized last night I scanned these weeks ago and forgot to post. I haven't been buying much lately, but here's a few books the missus got me for Xmas:
  8. If she has 5 years until college, I assume she is 13. I don’t she SHE has an interest in buying and selling comics, I think dad does, since he has tried his hand setting up at shows and often starts threads asking for selling advice. If it were me, I'd ask myself "What would Bob Storms do?"
  9. The hall monitors seem exceptionally gung-ho these days. Some people also seem unaware that the majority of the Guidelines were proposed and established by board members and incorporated into the Guidelines by Arch to help the Sales Forum run smoother, and not written as an official edict handed down by the Gods of CGC.
  10. At first glance I thought "Harley Yee is putting inventory on Clink now?" Then I thought about it for a minute.
  11. Thanks! Did my best working under the gun. This episode resembles a community access cable show; usually these guys go off on large scale adventures involving other monsters, stuffed animals and superheros. Omac was being included for a while. One of those will take a little more planning.
  12. There are currently about 64 other copies of that book available on ebay alone, in all grades and price ranges. Why not buy one that hasn't been messed with? Furthermore, why give your money to a well documented, known crook rather than a reputable seller? All that does is support bad behavior.
  13. Inspired by cabin fever on the last Saturday of Xmas vacation and my son’s longstanding desire to make movies, we decided to grab the bull by the tail and launch our YouTube channel, Ultra Kaiju. We only have one episode up so far, but that’s not bad considering we shot it just last week. It was very impromptu; future ones may be more planned out. Or not.
  14. Like my mom always used to say, "Unasked for advice is often unwanted."
  15. Good times. I misunderstanding over a "chip" if I recall...
  16. Wow. Somebody humped the button on etanick's sales thread, rather than letting him know it didn't follow current guidelines? Linky. That's top shelf lame. He's one of our nicest members, not some Craig's List Drive-By Poster.
  17. Yet another DC? So sad. I warned him to turn back after his first, and now it's too late.
  18. That's creepy . . . Ya think? The book was just about to come out, and he was very excited. Of course, as a kid, I wanted to ask for The Thing, but he offered the Pope out of excitement for his project. I figured however many sketches he's done, this would end up being less common among his body of work. It's grown on me. Maybe because Joe Sinnott is just about the nicest human being on earth. Similar thing happened to me when I met Stan Goldberg. He had high enthusiasm for drawing a 3 Stooges sketch, the book he was working on at the time, but I steered him as graciously as possible to a Millie.
  19. The equivalent of calling a book somewhere between a VG and VF when grading it.
  20. Pretty darn good one to have if you're only going to have one! Congrats and enjoy! .... and so it begins..... the long slow spiral into D.C. ..... the D(ark)C(ide) ....GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) I've heard Batman Adventures #12 is a gateway book...
  21. Anybody care to shoot me a PM? I haven't been combing the sales threads lately. Nevermind; that wasn't hard to find.
