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…

The post 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week appeared first on PS.

We’re back
with an all-new episode, we had some technical issues but we powered through
and hopefully, you will too because we left them all in!

The topic is
anthology shows but mainly ones in the science fiction and horror theme, we begin
with some of the more familiar shows like “Twilight Zone” and
“Outer Limits”, a short stop into “Fantasy Island” (because….Brian) and get into the obscure and short-lived programs such as
“Dark Room” or “Perversions of Science”. 


We seriously cover
a lot of ground with this one including memorable episodes, remakes and reboots
and of course, merchandise.

The
conversation rounds out with the renaissance the format is having currently with
“Black Mirror” and the Rebooted “Twilight Zone” and we end
in the only logical place, a discussion of Billy Crystals characters on
“Saturday Night Live”. 

We hope you enjoy.

Please  give us spirited debate in our new Facebook group.
