Careful my friend.....the addiction will take you

[firefly2121]

No doubt collecting will take you down a crazy road...All those books that you have will be gone by next year, you'll need the space...

 

[fuzzylojiks]

Thanks! I think I may get one or two more characters...Spidey and Captain America...perhaps a Hulk.

Iron Man for now...I think i've spent enough for now...

Very nice choices! : )

 

[mikedanger]

do you really need that ladder to reach the upper shelves or is it just for looks?

 

[Q]

[Computron34]

Thanks guys! I am loving the look and that Mark 1 maquette is truly a masterpiece. It's like Iron Man is guarding all my stuff!

I am heading to NYC tomorrow and will be looking around for some collectibles. Any store suggestions?

Forbidden Planet perhaps?

I'm going to Metropolis Comics to pick up some early Iron Man comics to fill in some holes of my collection.

Will fill you in...

Thanks Gary! I am a huge Les Paul Fan. I actually met Les Paul 2 years ago and had him sign my Les Paul guitar. It's my prize possession.

I love that beauty and the burst book! Such amazing guitars in there.

Cool that someone would notice!

For me...it's a stretch to get a book to the back of the shelf and I'm 6 ft 2....those shelves are 9 ft tall...hard to tell in the pictures but they are pretty tall.

For my wife she needs the ladder to get up there for sure.

It comes in handy for dusting too!

Thanks! 2005 Standard Premium Plus

That Works, I have always Dreamed of finding a Late 50's to Early 60's one at a Estate Sale I did say I Dreamed

 

[spindrift]

Sweet!! That autograph must mean you won't play it anymore!
OK we'll talk more but I THINK we have hijacked this thread to a LP drool group!

LOL

After this no more LP talk promise...

I still play the LP. I have the signature protected with a plastic sheet and it sticks on the pickguard. I play it often and no signs of wear at all.

It's awesome!


By the way, I was just watching the Iron Man extras on the Blue Ray DVD and they show the making of the Mark 1. The Maquette they made was very similar to the sideshow on the pose.

My only gripe about the SS Maquette is the gap in armor on the right arm...other than that...it's a masterpiece.
