I was using my Amazon Prime account that lets me store photos on it. But they dont end with the jpeg or gif...
I will find something eventually

You click on the little right-pointing arrow and it brings up a white box that contains a long address and picture size.
Select the picture size you want and copy the address.

In the middle of the address you will find the URL.  It begins with https: and ends with .jpg   -  that is the part you want to paste between image brackets on the UMA.

Here is an example        https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50984017673_8bb1f0a900_z.jpg

I hit up the Cocoa Beach toy show this last Sunday, and found this guy at the High On Plastics (H.O.P.) Toys booth.

I got to chat with Bryan, and he's excited to have the official license for The Robot Monster!  He loves classic monsters and Sci-Fi, as well as Japanese toys.  I was on a budget but definitely wanted to support him, so I picked up this Robot Monster vinyl for $10.

He's out of South Florida, and it sounded like he's branching out to more shows, so if you're local - totally hit up their booth at the next show! I certainly plan on picking up more goodies.

Here's the website as well:

So rad! I dig Robot Monster

Checked out a local antique mall I'd never been to because I found out they had a toy booth. They do lots of weird, random customs for some reason. And one of those was a Hasbro Wolf Man in Jedi robes being sold as a "Jedi Wolf". They also had a loose Sideshow Ghost of Frankenstein figure. Each was $40. Admittedly, I'm not super familiar with the Sideshow figures since I've never seen one out of a box before and I thought the Wolf Man was also Sideshow until I bought it and started comparing them side by side. But still doesn't seem like a terrible deal from what I can tell. These are the only 12" Universal figures I've ever bought and I'm afraid I might have opened a dangerous can of worms.

Mountain Town? They're good people, and Retroville is fantastic people.

Oh, man! You live around here?!

That would be them. Through a lot of circumstances not worth going into, I found out that I went to school with one of the guys that runs Mountain Town(he owns the coffee shop portion in Ellijay). I only found out about their 3rd spot a couple of days ago and decided to give it a look today.

Picked these up at Fightmare Collectibles in Texas. Sculpted by The Clay Guy.

FINALLY found an online store that carries this.  Ordered in about 10 seconds.  Also got a copy of a game called Bite Night that probably won't be great, but it was cheap and had a little cartoon Nosferatu on the cover.  Couldn't resist.

Wish his neck electrodes weren't missing.

Well, maybe they had to avoid them so Universal didn't send them a letter.  But he's still pretty clearly a caricature of Karloff, so I don't know.  The book never actually reveals the precise method of his animation, so maybe they're going that route.

Two more for the monster game shelf.  Both of these are out of print now, but I had some fun money allotted to myself from the last stimulus payment, so I took a chance on some used stuff.

Ghost Stories is cooperative and is about a group of Chinese Taoist warrior-monks defending an inn from a hell lord and his legion of ghosts.  I bought this used, as both expansions were included and the price was right.  Haven't played it yet, but it's very highly regarded, and also apparently quite difficult.  One of the expansions allows a player to be the villain, which should add some spice down the road.

City of Horror is a rework of an earlier game called Mall of Horror, which I remember selling at my store once upon a time, and passed on then because I thought it looked like a bit of a mess.  City of Horror apparently fixed a number of problems with Mall of Horror, and gave it more replay value with a newly modular board.  This one isn't cooperative though.  You are all trying to survive 4 hours at the peak of a city wide zombie situation (think opening minutes of Dawn of the Dead) so you can get a ride out with the military.
