New game for the horror game shelf!  Got my copy of this yesterday.  The collectors edition is more expensive, but it comes with about 4x the content and I like having the minis over the cardboard tokens.  More killers, more survivors, and an extra pair of maps to play on.  The minis are nice, and there's a lot of them.  None of the licensed killers, but that was to be expected.  There's plenty of the original design ones, and a good chunk of those are thinly veiled knockoffs anyhow.

Your board game collection must be pretty awesome, judging by all the ones you've posted here!  :)

You should host a game night party, and invite a bunch of UMA members over. 😂

I'm pretty happy with it, though I need more room for it.  And there's always more coming out.  I wish I could afford more vintage stuff, but those opportunities haven't really come my way.

Not really my kinda Creature, but it's licensed and I finally decided I'd buy one if the package was near perfect and it didn't cost over 30 bucks. Well, that just happened.

I know I'll never get it's "Playmate", the TMNT Creature. C'est la vie! ("la vie")

I've been tempted by these.  The TMNT ones really exploded in the last few years.  They were still expensive but not atrociously so a few years ago when we got a carded set in at my old job.  Wished I had the money for them then, doubly so now.

Wow! I didn't realize that they had gotten so expensive! I had better take mine out of the attic right now!

Tell me about it! I remember when they were around $35 (10 times that, now) and I thought "Too weird for me." Foolish!  ;D

TMNT/MOTU collectors have kinda ruined any chance of monster collectors ever finding them at a decent price now.
Morning, noon, or night, Anytime . . . . the count may strike. If you're caught you have to linger, Cause Dracula may bite your finger!

Tell me about it. I just had a well known Telco collector...Paul Kat....message a seller to buy a Frank motionette out from under me.   They have drove prices through the roof.

Who, what now? You were about to buy, and somebody snatched it?

That's dirty pool! If it was an auction, the guy should have bid against you. If it was a set sale and you bought it, and then another guy offered him more, that's dirty!

This is only indirectly monster related but rather neat.  Today I received a personalized, autographed copy of Stefanie Powers book.  She was in the bigfoot episodes of Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman.  She also worked with Boris Karloff in Girl From UNCLE.
