Sometimes,The Hobby Gods Listen

I have been wanting a proper place to display my small collection of comic books,like,forever!I remember how great It was ,walking into those hobby/comic book shops and flipping  through the comics on those spinning  racks.I've always wanted one of those for my toy room.You know,to give It that hobby shop feeling.Well,today ,while on the way to the grocery store I saw this beauty standing on the curb along with a cat scratching post and some other junk.It almost looked as If the rack was attached to the cat post,so from a distance I thought nothing of it.I got back home to get the dogs ready for a walk ,and on my stroll around the block I couldn't stop thinking about the rack.I had to go back and give It a second look.I'm glad I did!


It's not the spinning rack.Hell I'm not even sure If It's even for comic books ,but It works!I've looked up similar racks like this on Ebay and they go for upwards of  $300!So,again,If you guys have any idea what this might be,let me know In the comment section.

    It might be some kind of food rack, like for bags of chips or something? Whatever it is though, it certainly looks good for what it's being used for now.

      I can't find anything like it online,Fuji.It has brackets on the back for wall mounting but balances flawlessly when freestanding. Also the height between racks is almost identical to the size of a comic book.Dun,dun,dun. The mystery continues!

Go! Games and Toys

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
