Polaroid Sun 600

Looking through my parents old closet of miscellaneous items, I came across a vintage Polaroid camera! I wasn't even aware that they still make these today, well repros anyways. So eventually I'll have to pick up some film to snap some pics of my action figures the old fashioned way. For now I thought the camera would look nice displayed next to some G1 Transformers!

    I think I said the same thing as I pulled it off the shelf. I hope it still works!

    Nice find. I just discovered that these things are popular again. One of my former students is graduating this year... and I asked her what she wanted. I was blown away when she said a Polaroid camera.

    My daughter had one of those smaller instant pic cameras they sell today. Wait until I show her the one that started the craze!

    I have a number of telephones, Walkman's, and other assorted electronics from the 80's and early 90's, but don't own any Polaroid cameras. If I ever came across a cheap one though, I'd totally buy it! Love yours by the way, and think that it does look really good with those Transformers. Very natural :)

    Thanks, Jon. I looked them up on eBay and they're surprisingly cheap. Most are in the $20 to $30 range.

    That's amazing. I went into an old camera store (which I had driven by 1000 times and never went in) this past weekend looking for a particular lens and they had a bunch of old cameras on display and for sale. It was cool.

    I bet, Jigs 📸 I'm hoping the new polaroid film they sell today works in the older models.

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...

Recent Pick Up!

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.
