Hell's yeah! I'd get the penis-mobile from the '89 movie. Upgrade from my Toy Biz one.

Yes, the 66. My wife has even given me her blessing (as long as all our bills, debt and kids college funds are taken care of first). I've even researched it on the internet.

No. I would hire a cook and a housekeeper so that I can just concentrate on crafting and getting better.

I think there's a custom car shop out there that can give you one for $25,000. Not sure if you have to provide a base car or not, but considering what a new car costs today, that seems like a pretty sweet deal to me.

That's just amazing Rick. To be able to drive that around town...

If I could guarantee I'd have enough money to buy one I'd really consider selling my whole collection to get one.

I have checked. Repros run from $150,000 to $175,000. Not sure how close I am to that number with my collection.

Love the LIS Robot too.

Last time I checked ypu could get a Barris Batmobile for $75,000. If you wanted the inside to be more detailed that could run you to $105,000 and more. That was a couple of years ago

peter paid over $250K for his, but I believe it is one of the original 5 (not 100% sure of details, but I know what he paid)

I have a picture of me sitting in it some where (but that was "all" I was allowed to do lol )...way cool!

^ I think I like that Aussie one the best so far.

Not to offend the guy who built the Aussie Batmobile, cause he did one helluva job, but if I was gonna lay down that amount of money I'd expect a little more detail and show accuracy, especially on the inside and the dashboard

Batmobile isn't my flavour but I would likely have a room in my house FILLED with movie props and costumes on mannequins. I've always wanted my own wax museum, long time fascination.

If I were really, really rich, and I could "indulge" myself with one special gift, I'd take a trip into space. I'd even take Mego Kirk with me. In case we run into some hot female aliens....

If I were rich, I'd pay EMCE ridiculous amounts of money to make reproductions of the mego Muhammad Ali line which would include Frazier, Foreman, Holmes and all my favorite fighters.
