Comic Book Men on AMC with Megos

[palitoy]

Village comics was also a fav of mine before it closed it's doors......

I actually stumbled into this store many moons ago, it was awesome. Visited it again before it closed. Great shop, lots of fun.

There is another store in NY, is it called Time Traveller? Just box after box of musty goodness...

In Toronto, the one store that the wife is happy to browse in is the Silver Snail, I'd say it has a great deal to do with the fact that for much of the past decade, they had a female manager. It has a huge amount of young under thirty female traffic.

Absolutely, I see plenty of women shopping in there all the time. The store has a very female- and family-friendly atmosphere. Well lit, not too cramped or cluttered, it doesn't give that weird, creepy vibe that some places do.

Our local comic store seems to be doing fine. I usually pop in a couple of times a month during my lunch hour and there are usually a few other customers there. The owner is not your sterotype comic shop dealer. Very knowledgeable and is very much into educating as opposed to try to quick sell. He also picked a good location for his shop. It's in an area that isn't off the beaten path but not in an area where I think the rent would be too high either.

Been out of loop on this stuff but tuned in for first time this evening for no more than 30 seconds and maskatron never existed on smdm? Wrong. Episodes featuring John Saxon.

...And that comes, not from an expert, or someone who really cares because it's not valid to my life today, but someone reaching back to when he was 8 yrs old and watched the original airing of the show. Funny, I still remember how creeped out as I was realizing that Steve Austin's best friend was just a robot. I don't think they ever located his "real" old friend. I just have a vivid-picture long term memory on allot from my childhood. Maybe the 'experts' got it confused with Dr KromeDome.

I believe I saw that show once. But I still remember it. Kind of disappoints me they got this so wrong. First impressions and all.

I thought the same immediately on the Maskatron. This show is for people with no clue. It's full of made up facts and prices.

Okay... so on the first show they had no interest at all in a boxed circle suit Spiderman and a Robin I believe it was but tonight they get all gooey - giddy over a loose, Kirk, Spock, Spidey and Green Arrow? The level of stupid is really off the charts with these guys.

All hope is indeed dead when it comes to this show. Schmucks.

As soon as walking dead went off and those goons came on, i couldn't change the channel fast enough.

[palitoy]

Caught it channel surfing as I stopped taping it, the Maskatron comment bugs me cause now it's gospel.

Amazing that those four stumble on the world's greatest garage sale complete with Mego figures and a Frankenstein bike buddy.

What made my jaw drop is when they were talking about the Halle Berry Catwoman Barbie and they were ticking off the women that played Catwoman and left out Julie Newmar.... JULIE NEWMAR!!! I DVR it and scan through the episode in less than 10 minutes though so I might've missed it but yikes!

I chuckled about the Maskatron thing. And it's a little of a gray area because there was no villian saying "I am Maskatron" in the show but Maskatron was definataly based on the robot imposter they had in the show. Kevin claims to be a SMDM fan and should've known.

Finally saw the episode with the SMDM and the Megos. Here is that portion of the show...

Outside of a bunch of guys sitting around reminiscing (and I say that loosely), they don't really offer anything that I would merit as true expertise. Of the three items Zorro brought in, these fellas sat aside the two most valuable of the three. And that's not paying no disrespect to the SMDM. That is a very cool piece. But it's far more common than the other two. I laughed out loud when Kevin Smith's "insightful" question about the worth of the SMDM item was based on whether you could see through the figure's bionic eye in the box. Like the only thing that mattered was looking through the hole in the back on his head! I guess it matches the one Smith has. And I don't know if anyone picked up on it. But they don't act like people who share any real love of these things. They seem to make a mockery of it. I went to the Cincy Meet and we spent HOURS talking intelligently about the craft. And had time allowed, we could have continued. The fellas on this show were not engaged on really any level. They were just creating dialogue to fill time on the show. Very contrived and boring.

[palitoy]

I just chatted with somebody who says the garage sale was likely faked.

[Hector]

Both Stevie Wonder and Jose Feliciano could see that it was fake...lol.
