Finally, a monster collection is being featured on tonight's show! If your provider carries the MeTV network, tune in or set your recorder.

Needless to say, it was my favorite episode of the show so far. Not only is Mr Roebuck a collector
after my own tastes, he has personality-plus compared to others from past episodes.



There were quick shots and swish pans of various figures, big and small, throughout the show >





I rather wish they'd lingered longer on some of his showcases, like the one devoted to Universal Tour stuff >









How do you suppose he got those full color Marx monsters? I could never get any paint of mine to stick to that waxy plastic >

       

These were the items featured and appraised >

I was waiting for that episode, but we don't get MeTV anymore. Do you know if it has been posted anywhere. By the way, I helped pack up that Zaius figure, in the background, when he bought it.

I think the full episodes can eventually be watched on their website:

I hope so, in the past they have only had excerpts and outtakes. Isn't Dan Roebuck an administrator on this board? If so, he might know where to find the complete episode.

That was a super great episode.  In fact there are other great collections on Collector's Call. So far, there are two seasons.

Next Sunday's episode will feature another monster collection. Their expert
appraiser looks to be none other than "Arizona Gillman" himself. 'Should be
an awesome show.

Sometimes they make full episodes available for viewing on their site afterwards.

Cannot wait to see that episode
Here's another video, from the Monsterama series. I think it the same collector.

Mike have you tried hooking up a TV antenna; that's how I get it.  It's broadcast in Toledo.

Yes, that's John. I saw that, years ago. Amazing, but I wish they wouldn't pan past the stuff so quickly. A lot of nice lingering shots of small groupings of things, though. There are a few things in there that I've never seen anywhere else!

You mean "rabbit ears"? I think my TV only has cable connections.
