It's been a while since I went on about my obsession with Mego's short lived "CB Mchaul" toy line, inspired by the country's fleeting obsession with trucker culture.

By the time Ol' CB hit toy shelves, the whole thing was starting to wind down making the line (especially the carded figures) difficult to find. I think it's easier to find carded Iron Man figures than it is certain CB characters.

Fortunately for me, a lot less people give a crap about CB and his lewd gesturing posse, so you never go into massive debt. That being said, if you have CB figures for sale email me, I've got cash, toys and butterfly kisses for you.

You can't put a price tag on running beer across the providence (state) line. Damnit. Now I want one too. I'd be hauing migrant action figures for a tidy profit.

This looks like a fun line. The pieces are all well engineered. No reuse of parts here. Well, except for the figures borrowing the basic design of CAH.

Ah the good ole days when talking into a CB was the latest novelty. We wouldn't have know what to do with ourselves if people would have said we would all be carrying cell phones one day. Nobody would have believed it.

I wrote this three weeks ago, I am now in deep in credit card debt for CB stuff. Damn you irony!

Who scored all those amazing auction that were on this week? Best CB Mchaul haul I have ever seen.

Yea, I'm amazed the figures sell for so much. Probably explains why I don't own any of the figures (YET).

I remember when I was a kid, listening to the singer CW McCall's record (he did the Convoy song), over and over and over. I was going to get it off iTunes for nostalgia... but when I sampled a few tracks, I couldn't listen to more than a few seconds. Urg.

Always thought these were fairly cool because of the line's CAH style, but I never owned any of them.
