5 Awesome Things on eBay this week
Vintage Marvel comics display from 1977 (eBay Link) —
I don’t remember what this display is for but BAM! this is just my childhood. Bonus nostalgia points for using some of the same clip art as the Mego World’s Greatest Superheroes.
Star Wars Carnival Mirror (eBay Link) —
I miss the age of Carnival Mirrors, also kudos for the seller not doing something embarrassing in the reflection. I’ve seen some terrible things on the Facebook marketplace, me buckos. *Swigs brown liquor from a flask*
Outer Limits Jigsaw Puzzle (eBay Link) —
I really dig the Outer Limits ever since I caught the reruns on the “Chuck the Security Guard” show as a kid. The merchandise is particularly awesome, this puzzle is from the episode “Tourist Attraction.”
Rocky Bubbles Rack Toys (eBay Link) —
Do I need to do a write-up to point out this thing is silly? Nah, you all see it. I love that Popeye cameos though, now there is a fight I’d love to see.
Fisher Price Adventure People 3 Pack (eBay Link) —
I got off the Adventure People train before all the space stuff happened but I do remember liking a lot of their retooled creations. The robot in the middle always seemed like it came out of a Doctor Who from the 60s. That, in my book, makes it awesome.
BONUS AWESOME THING!
McDonaladland Spaceship toy (eBay Link) –
I totally had this one lunchtime 42 years ago and completely forgot about it. I’m not willing to pay fifty bucks for it but I did consider it. It must have been connected to a good experience because it made me happy for a minute. It’s strange what can set that off sometimes…

I’m pretty sure I had that same Space Ship Happy meal (United States Edition) And yes, amazing how seeing something 40 years later can reignite a memory like that. I totally agree Brian!
