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.

Great scores LD. Do you have any of the Bullmark ones? Love the packaging on those.

It's a Colgate soaky body. My Mummy's body cracked if anyone has an extra. *Edit pic added above as I was typing.

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.

 Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th
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:
