Fate of the Trouble Shooter

It’s really hard for me as a collector to not go completely nuts on vintage Adventure team GI Joe, there is some sort of trigger that gets pulled when I see sets like this. It’s like my inner four year just wakes up and starts demanding things. Who am i to say no? I gotta […]

Ratchet Jaws

This hideous t shirt was released just in time to stand as a reminder that North America briefly embraced CB radios and trucker culture…

Simon? This is Simon….over…

Oh yeah, who didn’t want to be Rick and AJ? I think one of these clipped to my belt could improve my coolness factor to this day. Although I do admit, so would an onion, a rock or one of those pine trees they sell at the gas station.

Holy Bike Safety Batman!

Apologies for the hack title, stuff like this always sucks me in. I don’t collect bike reflectors but it’s vintage, has an iconic image and usually can be found at Toy shows for $5 to $10. Before you can say “Why did I buy this?” it’s already in my car.
