I was born in 1946.  I was the same age as the kids in "Stand By Me" when the action in the movie was supposed to be taking place.

You Win BRO! That must have been a great time to grow up in! i feel bad for anyone born in the last 30 years..they missed the boat! i think 1945 to 1975 was the best time to grow up in.....after that things started to suck,,,,,,,,,,,

[Monsters For Sale]

I got to see all the 50's Universal-International sci-fi movies on the big screen - most as first-run features.

It was heaven.

I bet Bro !!!!   If my parents didnt wait till they were 30 to procreate i would have been born in 1946 or 1947 myself..............dam! what was wrong with them!!!  they almost ruined my monster buzz!! well at least i grew up in the Zacherley/original monster toy era............

And your parents sent you to summer camp?

They SAID it was summer camp when I found the photos years later. They claimed this was the head camp counselor.

found this guy at a sale.

Allow me to preface this post by saying; '' This sh*t NEVER happens to me!'' [Well, up until today anyway]...My wife and i try to make it to as many of the Long Island Car Show / Swap Meets as we can thru out the spring and summer. Today was the first one of the season in St James. There were lots of vendors as always and it was a beautiful day to be outdoors. Most vendors are aware of what their stuff is worth, but when i ran across this one guy who had some beat up boxes with lots of random stuff in them, i spotted one with a bunch of old school Hot Wheels tracks poking out, i had to explore further. I could see a bunch of small stuff at the bottom. I no sooner moved some of the orange tracks out of my way when BANG, a bright yellow Palmer Gorgo was looking back at me! Now i am flinging items out of the box to dig deeper and next found a King Kong and Cyclops amidst the broken army men and Dino figures! When i asked how much he wanted for the 3 the seller said, ''Ahhh, give me a buck!''





Well, i kept digging and soon turned up an MPC Skeleton, Werewolf and Frankenstein, too which meant i had to fork over another buck!



I went back one more time before leaving and while no more monsters turned up, i did find a cool made in Hong Kong alligator jiggler, Blue Bronto figure, old Skull candy container and a weird black monkey hanging upside down by it's tail. It has Deluxe Reading 1966 printed on the chest...my guess is it came from some old game? If anyone has info on it, i'd appreciate it! These guys cost me my 3rd and final buck. Needless to say i'm in a very good mood at the moment...AND while i was cleaning up my purchases, Zacherley called to say Hi! Life just doesn't get any better!
