Yep. I was never big on Die Hard but he was awesome in Dogma.

Don't forget the crystals.

Yeah there on back order. Figure we'll have to hit up a Renaissance festival or find a vendor outside of a phish concert if we want one soon.

Office coffee and some weird drawing requests already. The fun never ends.



My parents boxed up all my old toys and threw them in the attic. They just cleaned their attic and the boxes are headed my way. Can't wait to dig through them.

Christmas all over again!

We're buying one of these with the $19 we won in the station power ball pool. Figure well use it and start making bank bro. View attachment 329956

Water and cleaning up the house.

Just go back to last Friday and buy a ticket for the 900m powerball.

More coffee

 

[BrewinBromanite]

Dude. My kid... 'But dad, I just don't!'

To everything I tell her to do.

She laughs when I spank her (unless it's hard enough to hurt my hand) and she goes ape when I put her in timeout.

Three year olds are awesome.

This is exactly my 3 yr old! Little punks!

You should toooootally get these. Give your "toys" a whole new lease of life

Too soon?

 

[BrewinBromanite]

I tell mine that if she doesn't behave we will get rid of the Disney Jr. Channel.

Oh God! Sh!t would hit the fan! Mine yelled in my ear for 5 mins this am while I was attempting to watch the news. "MICKEY MOUSE, MICKEY MOUSE, MICKEY MOUSE!" I gave in eventually. It's easier that way some times - especially before I've finished my first cup of coffee...

 

[BrewinBromanite]

Maybe it's an art project.



Or the guy could say it is, to avoid additional embarrassment.

Or, "sorry, I can't come into work today. See, boss?"

Multi-quote, it's cool, you should check it out

Glad everyone can have a laugh at my expense, again. For the record, I'm still excited. It's 4 large rubbermaid totes. One is LEGO (from the castles era), one is ninja turtles/ghostbusters, one is Transformers and the other is Matchbox etc. My grandmother spoiled the funk out of me.

Going on break. Finishing For the Love of Hops finally.

Random bit of useless trivia...I was in college when Napoleon Dynamite came out, and the stars did a speaking tour at various universities about the making of the movie and how it took off in popularity. Jon Heder (Napoleon) and Aaron Ruell (Kip) spoke at the one I saw. Apparently the time machine scene (crystals and all) was based directly off events that actually happened with Jon Heder's family when he was growing up.

Please post pictures of all of the ninja turtles toys.

Also, any Star Wars toys in there?

Reminds me that I had all of those Micro Machine Star Wars playsets as well... not sure where they are.

Sorry CAD.

That does sound like a great haul. Looks like your weekend is chocabloc with things to do.

The Lego castles sound fun. I never had those but loved these. (Still have them back in Dublin)

These were two of my favorite kits

One of my buddies when I was 10 or so had shelves of transformers including Optimus Prime with the base in the trailer. Never let me touch them. He also had an Atari 2600, comodore 64 and Subuteo (y'all wont have that here, no demand for the foreign game). That was why I used to call over all the time.

Bit of an odd-ball in later years as it turned out.

I bought my son some of the Ghostbuster figures from Ebay. Brought back memories for me.

I'm interested to see the loot. We have an attic full of our kid's stuff. SWMBO's mom got rid of her old toys so she vowed to not do it to her kids.

Guess I date myself when I say there were no kits when I was a kid. Just Legos. You want to build a castle/car/jet/ship then you had to figure that **** out yourself.

One more coffee.

All my old toys are boxed up somewhere at my parents' house, including a bunch of Ninja Turtles stuff (including full sets of the movie trading cards).

Also should be lots of comic cards and a full set of the Desert Storm trading cards. Kind of a weird idea...

Had a client on a previous project who would openly walk into the bathroom with a book and come out an hour later, then stop by people's desks and talk about the book on the way back to his desk. Is that you?

I likely have nearly all the turtles, except for Bebop and Rocksteady. Hated them. I had a few original Star Wars toys. The only ones I remember are Darth Vader, Luke, Leia and one of the weird monsters from Mos Eisley Cantina or whatever. I'm not sure if they survived, those were the earliest toys I remember.

These were two of my favorite kits

I only had one of those kits and it was the Bulldozer one you posted. Was pretty cool, but when I was into legos it was definitely the castles. They were amazing. They came with a base that had a built in pit for a dungeon so you could make a trapdoor. My dad would always build the castle while I was sleeping, then I'd tear it down and build my own. The people were the best part though. No other lego had as cool armor and weapons.

I've got a lot of the Ghostbusters, despite being terrified of the movie when I was little. I also have the Ecto-1 and the Firestation, though my mom never let me have the ooze to pour through the hole in the top of the building. Too messy or something. I did have a uniform, backpack and trap too. Holy hell I was spoiled.

Never ceases to amaze me how Texans put their state on everything they own.

Even coffee machines made in China.

Those were the good ole days, I miss those. Everything now is in a kit, it leaves little to imagination.
That said, nothing was more bad ass then putting together the multi-thousand piece millennium Falcon. I'll post a few pics of that monster when I get home.

Aw man, I had the Ecto-1 when I was little too. My parents said that was the It Toy that year and they had to search all over the area to find it. I think it's long gone now though.

I think my TMNT stuff got given away to one of my little cousins, but they still have some of my Star Wars toys boxed up, and maybe some of the Dino Riders. Anybody else have those?

 

[TheCADJockey]

...maybe some of the Dino Riders. Anybody else have those?

Wow, I had to look those up but now that I did.. yeah I definitely had one. That was probably tossed/lost at some point though. My grandmother actually has a box of He-Man's and the castles for them as well. My friend has tried to buy them off her for the last 20 years and she keeps turning him down telling him they are for my kids when I have them. Also, just text my mom and they found a fifth box of Thundercats and "some stupid big thing with a lion head on it" rofl... completely forgot about those. Funk me.

Exactly. Was watching some documentary the other day that pointed out this out:
Lego's came in big tubs and you made whatever you could think of. Software / video games had stories that had to be solved in strict order. Now its the exact opposite - Lego's have huge manuals that you need to follow to build 'correctly' and if software or video games have a manual, you have already lost most users...
