5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

DFC the Tower of the Night Playset (eBay Link) —

There is nothing I don’t like about this. I mean I had a set like this and wouldn’t need another but looking at that box art just makes want to buy it. It’s like a VHS movie with no pictures on the back of the box that you’d totally rent.

Steve Martin Iron-On (eBay link)—

I’d almost forgotten how big Steve Martin really was and that I still quote his routine now and then. You gotta stay hip for the kids…

McDonaldland Stained Glass Windows (eBay link) —

Seeing these gave me the idea of a post-apocalyptic movie where the main villain has a McDonald’s cult and throws his enemies in the “Grimace Pit.” Don’t steal this idea, Patent Pending! PATENT PENDING!

Amsco Spider-Man Super Babies (eBay Link) —
I remember seeing these as a kid and JUST HATING ON THEM. “Baby stuff” it may be the first thing we learn to hate. Now, at the very least, I see their charm. Progress!
