Thx for taking the time to comment. I noticed today that the Toys 'R' Us stores in Ontario, Canada have the new Star Trek toys. I stopped at three of them while driving from Toronto to St. Catharines. I managed to restrain myself from buying any of it! To continue the archaeology analogy, I'm managing to content myself with leaving the treasure where I found it for others to enjoy. Ha ha. I almost missed your comment, theregoesmavis.

With any collector, it's not the few showy high priced items you own, it's the excitement of the search. I've been reading treknobabble for quite a while now, lurking about, but as one collector to another, I wanted to back you up. I still remember scouring flea markets for anything that vaguely resembled or reminded me of anything from the X-Files. And rus in chicago is right. No fear. No shame. Awesome. Word.

I was disappointed with the suction cup tassels, too. So, ProjectGenesis is one of the reasons for the fall of MediaPlay. BTW, one of these days I need to write about the time I went to Compton to look for Star Trek toys. I didn't go to specifically Compton to look for Star Trek toys. It just happened to be one of the LA subway stops. And when I went, I had no idea about Bloods and Crips. Yeah, the shot glasses and playing cards were alright.

Didn't it come with shotglasses too?! I use to love MediaPlay, they had the best Anime section in town. It's where I stole the entire VHS collection of The Bubblegum Crisis when I was 14, not an easy feet. “I had been disappointed at the quality of the extras like the blind-fold in the Showgirls special box set.”
