5 Awesome Things on eBay this week
fleetwood toys marvel comics- 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week
Fleetwood Toys Marvel Comics Stamp Set (eBay Link)–I am pretty sure my friend got this at his 7th birthday party, I remember being super envious. Also, look at those 70s B-Listers! Who would have thunk they’d all have billion-dollar franchises now.
Dallas Card Game- 5 Awesome Things on eBay This Week
Mego Dallas Card Game (eBay Link)–My parents were religious about Dallas, it was kind of insane. They had a massive “Who Shot Jr?” party, this was a total thing. I remember seeing this game as a kid and well, it had no effect on me at all. Dallas showed me that grown-ups constantly day drink and fool around and I wasn’t all that into it save for Victoria Principle. Mego was actually going to make action figures too, I’m glad they didn’t.
Planet of the Apes Archery Set- 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week
Planet of the Apes Archery Set (eBay Link)–I am not sure a single arrow appears in the Apes films but OH MY GOD, I WANT THIS!
John Travolta for president iron on (eBay link)–What was once a ridiculous notion, seems slightly more plausible these days, although I’d prefer Ray Jay Johnson myself.
