I'm more worried about the fullscreen version of Return of the King. Oh well, at least the other two LOTR DVDs are in the proper aspect ratio. |
Well, actually, it's my daughter's copy of "The Fellowship of the Ring" that's fullscreen. She bought that one, I bought the others. I rarely buy modern movies unless I can get the widescreen version

Monarch Models made an amazing Max Shreck NOSFERATU Aurora-style kit. The second 'frightening lightning' version is still available. If you've got an Aurora monster yen, I can't recommend it highly enough. Injection-molded, funky colors, all-Aurora, like you'd just stepped back in time to buy it. (Something Polar Lights never quite pulled off)

I'm relieved, I imagined that you were a big enough movie fan to know better.  |

How much are these retailing for, and where can they be found? I think I may buy a set of Frankie and Drac for the boy for Christmas. It would be a good winter project for us.

I found mine at the K-Mart in Bowling Green, KY. My local K-Mart isn't carrying them, so you may have to try more than one area to find them. The ones I saw retailed for $17.99.

Ouch. I remember when model kits were $2.

Thanks Ramsey. I don't think ANY retail stores in my area are carrying models anymore. Maybe some in Lexington. I'll have to check. There's always Hobbytown and Hobby Lobby.
EDITED TO ADD:
I did stop by a K-Mart in Lexington today and saw one each of Frank and Drac. Had the boy with me, so I'll have to sneak back later.

I enjoyed building my Frankenstein model so much that I went back and picked up a Mummy kit this week. Here's the finished product:
I took a few pics on another shelf away from my DVD collection, but they came out rather lighter for some reason. You can see all of my pics at:
