Weekend News-A-Rama

Been kind of sidetracked lately and whenever that happens, the world moves on and does neat stuff, so I’ll try and play catch up.


1) Outer Space Men 

The very cool Outer Space Men line of toys has a new limited edition set called “Cosmic Creators” that are signed by the legendary Mel Birnkrant, creator of the line.

2) Doctor Who

    I got the set with Tom Baker, and the special sheet with the Tardis and villians. Great addition to my (stamp) collection!
