I had this game for Game Cube and I loved every second of playing it. I don’t play it much anymore but I still have it. Who else out there had this amazing game?

Marvel was so much more generous back in the day! Order 8 and get a free Star Wars subscription? Absolutely!

Found this gem at my LCS!

A small collection came in the other day to my LCS and I was able to poke through it quickly before anyone else had a chance. I pulled out this beauty and asked for a price. My guy let me have this classic cereal prize comic for a sweet $8. It has a quick retelling

Infinity War Hanging Promo (1992)

Every once in a while when my LCS gets in collections there are hidden treasures.  While searching through the many, many new action figures they bought I caught a flash of Thanos on the bottom of the box.  I asked to see it and he pulled out a tangled mess that is this hanging mobile

Avengers: Infinity War Mystery Minis Box (2018)

No lie – whenever I can snag a box like this I make sure to.  It’s pretty fantastic when you’re able to get something as an added bonus – most of the time stores won’t be bothered at all if you take the box since they would usually just throw it out anyways.  I wouldn’t

TRU Marvel Topper (2018)

Yes, another piece from the demise of Toys R Us.  These cardboard advertisements hung above the Marvel aisle.  I was always happy to see that, even when the MCU began to dominate the toys, that the toppers never ignored the Hulk!  The Hulk is still one of the top selling characters that Marvel offers and

TRU Vinyl Header (2018)

One of the last pieces to show off from the TRU days and one of the last pieces I was able to rescue from the dumpster.  I remember when these headers arrived at the store and the sheer excitement we had to put them up!  I’m just kidding – no one was happy to be

Toys R Us PS4 Lego Marvel Poster (2018)

I don’t think I will ever really feel alright with what happened to Toys R Us.  The intentional grounding of a beloved brand was just so upsetting – not as upsetting as the mis-information being spread around about why they closed, but still.  I was able to snag a few promo pieces including this poster

TRU Thor: Ragnarok Display (2017)

As much as I have a reservation about how the Hulk was portrayed in Thor: Ragnarok I look back fondly upon the movie.  I look forward to adding it to my library and watching it with my son and daughter.  Then explaining to them why the Hulk should of had an obedience disc and how portraying him as a

Toys R Us Hulk Display (2015)

When the super expensive RC Hulk Car made it’s debut TRU they tried to promote the heck out of it with a side cap full of the product topped with this signage.  I asked the powers that be if they could save this for me – and they said they would.  Of course, best laid

Knowing the Right People Saturday!

Sometimes it’s best to know the right people at the right time! Department and Chain stores have been instructed by the toy companies and their direct supervisors NOT to give the promotional material out to anyone.  It is to be thrown away ONLY!  This is, of course, because too many people were taking these things

Marvel Poster (1972)

Here is a poster that comic shops would get to try and advertise Marvel comics.  This was acquired at Comically Speaking during my last visit – how could I not pick this up?  I asked around and am pretty sure this was a piece cobbled together from different artists.  For example, I’ve heard names thrown

The Incredible Hulk Promotional Standees (2008)

I have a few of these things now – pretty happy with the haul.  Most of the people I talked to gave me a strange story of how they “donate” all this stuff to children’s charities or schools.  Most of which was baloney.  The BK guy told me that he gives it to a school
