  3. Thanks Peter, Timelys are pretty cool. But please wait until I and a few others are done. Besides, aren't there still some pre-hero DC you are looking for? Would love to see your collection in its entirety some day. Oh, and you couch, too! yeah, Peter, we'd all like to see "you couch, too." teach you to make fun of my bad usage, bedrock-boy.
  4. They actually came 2nd day so I had two days of pins and needles. As for the colors, I will be honest, while color and page quality are important to me, we have a pretty good scanner and sometimes I think it pumps up the volume on its own! he lies; they are prettier in person. i've geeked on them many a time, and will do so once again, with relish, this weekend.

  10. hey tarzan geek, i heard MrBedrock has been treating you just like he treats all his customers. don't know that i'd call it a 'treat,' tho'. Hey Parker, you couldn't possibly be referring to the fact that I often get "the raw end of the stick" in my dealings with MrBedrock, could you? more like the 'short end,' huh?
