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

Image
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

A GI Joe Post That's Not Classified

Image
As much as I love the Classified line of Joe figures, I feel like there's other Joe stuff out there that deserve a little bit of that spotlight.   Pictured are two custom cardback figure protectors and four Diamond Select 💎  GI Joe figures.   I'd been looking for a way to protect my stashed 3.75  o-ring Joe's when I came across these online. I picked up William Perry's and Snake Eyes protectors and will be adding more as they are made available.   These are unpunched, clean and professional looking cardbacks that feature vintage artwork  on the front and file card on the back.  Diamond Select just doesn't get the props they deserve in my opinion. As much as I dig  their Marvel Minimates line, these Joe Minimates are equally cool! I'm not even sure I want to open these guys up. I mean I want to, but would hate to.
