Super Collector Newsletter Discussion Thread

Seeing that advertisement for Micronauts Rocket Tubes in this week's Newsletter brought back some memories! A friend of mine who lived up the street tended to get more and better toys than us other kids in the neighborhood. I was so excited when he invited me over to play with his new Rocket Tubes, a set I knew I'd never get. But even as we were sitting down to play with it, he was, unusually, already talking it down. The key point of disappointment for us (and for most kids who had this set, I suspect) was that you couldn't actually put Micronauts in it. You had to use the white 'figure'/statue formed vaguely in a humanoid shape. I also remember it as loud. We both lost interest after, like, 10 minutes.

In an alternate universe Kenner made Ice Pirates action figures.

Thanks for a great Friday pick me up! Loved Brainiac 5 and had no ideas that there were so many racy pictures of him on the internet!

Some of them made me feel tingly.

This is new item I have never heard of: 1966 Rack Toys Argus Viewer. Package contains plastic 8mm film viewer with film. Released to capture the Batman '66 fad with recycle part of the 1943 Batman Columbia Serials featuring to a new audience.

Congratu;ations! Personally, I'm fond of gingers.

Nice newsletter, I can relate to your Huckabone and creator experiences. That Dazzler and TorT The Shadow are sweet!


And please, please , please how can I get a copy of that red-suited young Johnny Storm head sculpt from Russell? Really nice.


I needed this newsletter, it offset the tariff notice I received from BBTS. Closing quote appreciated.

That Discoteque looks like a fun idea. I have never seen it before.

That was a great intro Steve. Now that I'm a (first time) grandpa, I can totally relate.

Oh, and I once bought that Wonder Woman light fixture cover for Cindy for Christmas off eBay. It came in completely shattered. I was heartbroken, and so was she when I told her what I had originally bought her!

Congratulations on the new addition to the family! Always appreciate the time and work you put into the newsletter!

Steve, I had to pause from reading the intro and come post. That was so sweet (and so hilarious)! Congratulations, my friend!
