Popular Post PopKulture Posted September 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Hmmm... it's a little intimidating posting these after seeing full runs of Marvel Mystery and Planet just a few posts above, but I think they look purdy enough in their own right. These were recent pick-ups from the Windy City Pulp and Paperback Show, which has a little something for every budget, including cheapies like me: Edited September 13, 2021 by PopKulture Miamiknight3434, KirbyJack, AJD and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post batman_fan Posted September 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) So I have been slowly working on putting together several sets of the various Aurora models. They show up from time to time but tend to go high. I decided on a whim to reach out to Mr Bedrock. People that have dealt with him know he gets a lot of cool material in that isn't just comics. Rich didn't have any but he gave me a lead on Bunky Brothers having a bunch not too long ago. I reached out to them and Ken gave me pictures of the various items I was interested and we closed the deal. Models arrived today! They are awesome and help get me closer to closing out on several (and allowed me to complete one set!). Big thanks to Mr Bedrocks and Ken for helping me get my model fix ! Batman set - started it back in the late 1980s with buying the Robin kit from Howard Rockman. He had a Batman too but I couldn't hid the purchase from my now ex-wife. Aurora square kit, down to one more ! I had almost all of these as a kid except for the Witch and King Kong. I didn't remember the King Kong and Godzilla being in the bigger boxes. Start of my long box monster kits. These came out too early for me but you would see them from time to time in hobby shops. I snagged three of the more expensive ones but I would say none are cheap.

Awsome group! I have had most of them at one time or another. Never owned or seen the Penguin, The Batcycle or the Bride in person. Good to knock out the tougher long box monsters first. I would put the Godzilla and Customizing Kit in that group too. The guy that had the Prisoner and Guillotine built ups also had nice boxed Mummy and Dracula too but put them on the bay before I saw them. Nice but unsealed went around $140 each. I forgot to ask if he had any more. Are you going after the other DC superheroes too? batman_fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman_fan Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Yeah, they are on my list too as well as the Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, Aurora Dinosaurs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Me, I’m more of a Revell guy myself. And, I prefer my monsters driving hot rods. I had them all but traded a few to a friend for a nice early Fender tube amplifier. Although, I’ve had sealed ones, I generally prefer them unsealed and unbuilt. Like my comics, I like to enjoy the insides. I left the Mr Gasser slot car sealed because it is so damn rare and you can see it through the plastic the way it was factory sealed. batman_fan, comicdonna and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a few of those and the Weird-Ohs as a kid. Still have one Weird Oh in the box (Basketball player). Do young kids still build models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
