    I know, huh? It's crazy. Would I rather have an awesome, beautiful, and useful product that's universally recognized and valued, or a hunk of thousand dollar plastic that only a small handful of people in the world recognize as having any value?
    I don't spend that much on toys to begin with, but even on my $100 toys I sometimes think that I'd be better off putting that money towards a vintage amp.

    Glad I got my Sunn Model T for next to nothing back in the 80s when people weren't interested in them at the time.

    It was sold like that. I need to find a Creature head for it, but I don't mind the Bozo head for the time being :)

    It's a Colgate soaky body. My Mummy's body cracked if anyone has an extra.

    Thanks! It is awesome with fine detailing. :) Very well made.
    Thanks! Yeah, I initially got the Upsetters movie with a free poster, then this Perry toy. :)

    The Excelsior is awesome for the price. It definitely needed some NOS tubes and I upgraded the speaker to something more efficient but it sounds killer now. Similar vibe to an old Silvertone amp I have.

    One of the cool things about going abroad is you find clothes/shoes you can't get in your own country. For years every time I found a cool pair of shoes online it would be a Europe or Japan only item. Seems like most companies make the lamest generic versions of shoes for the US while overseas gets all the choice looking styles/colors. Picked up these great Onitsuka Tiger Sakurada Sydney kicks in Barcelona:

    I don't even like Campers (probably because you never see styles like these here in the US) but these were perfect:

    Oh and this was delivered to me yesterday (actually arrived the day after I left but my mail was held) perfect fit:
