I have posted nothing in forever. So, uh, here’s a post. 🙂
I actually just got back from Comic-Con in San Diego. Was fun. Mark Texeira is working on a Robotron painting for me (for work) and Matt Haley, who is a toy geek as well, is doing Defender and Sinistar. Darick Robertson and Ken Kelly are both doing Joust. Some very cool stuff. These images will ultimately be turned into desktop images that people can download for free at GameTap, where I am the head of content.Â
Con was fun. Reconnected with people. Met people for the first time. Took no photos so there is no permanent record. Did not buy any toys. I love toys. They’re like crack to me. So I have a very small list of classic toys I want and in what condition and if an item isn’t on that list – I don’t buy it. Ever read Frog and Toad, the children’s stories. Think “The List.” I have toy purchase paralysis if it isn’t on my list.
Shoot Out In Space – which I had as a kid and still have as an adult, will definitely be the next page when I get to it.
Hi! I found your website looking for StarBird info and glad that someone out there loves this toy as much as I do! I am actually looking for the Avenger and small black ship on Ebay, only to find the original up for bids. Rest asured, I will get that toy! It has the one item that my StarBird is missing, the small gun on the top of the sphere. I plan to resell it at a later time. I plan to keep you on my lists and will check from time to time, until then, don’t give up the site or the good fight!
Avenger is a tough one, especially a complete one. And the Intruder (the black ship) horribly difficult to find.
There are some on Ebay right now, I will be watching them with great interest.
