Any new classic toy aquisitions?

How tall is he?

He's pretty tall at 13¼".

I had ROM when I was a kid. Collected the comic books, too, starting with issue #1. I always thought they should've made the figure a silver, metallic color like the comics, inside of matte gray.

That's good actually, I think he would look well with Mattel's Pulsar & Hypnos. Thanks!

Rom’s iconic flashing eyes were originally meant to be a more neutral green, but red LEDs were cheaper, so Parker Brothers went with those instead...

ROM looks great, has a bit of a GORT vibe to it, nice pick up.

Comet Line I wish there were more vintage off model Star Wars knockoff like this.

Not really toys, but vintage models.
Managed to score some Aurora test shot parts from the Prehistoric Scenes line.

Also got a very nice repro store display.

Congratulations! I've enjoyed your site and can guess how pleased you are to add that beautiful display to your collection.

[tay666]

Thanks. And yes. Now I just have to figure out where to display it. It is a lot bigger than I thought it would be.
I also can't wait to build the test shots and display them. Hopefully this winter.

Cool! Where did you find the repro display? Just searched ebay with no luck.

I got it on ebay. Not sure why the seller hasn't listed another one yet. I figured he probably had a few.
Seller is mysailday https://www.ebay.com/usr/mysailday/
Same guy had the test shot part. Think he is liquidating part of his massive Aurora collection.

I see, thanks for the link!

Congrats!

Congrats!

Thanks , I think a complete loose secret wars set is tougher to collect than the marvel megos. Especially with the European wave.
