Post Wanna help me out with one of my collections?
Many of you may know that Japanese vinyl toys are only one of many things that I obsessively collect. In fact, whenever people ask me what I collect, I often respond by saying "collections", as it's much easier than trying to rattle off the ever-growing list of things that I'm currently hording like the insane pack rat that I am.

Anyway, one of those many things is travel brochures. They're fun and sometimes kitschy, they remind me of all the places that I've been to (or inform me about places I'd like to go to), they're fairly compact and easy to store, and best of all...they're free. Sometimes they're even become "limited collectors items" when some of those places change or cease to exist.

Up until now I've only really collected ones for places that I've been, or places close to places I've been (as I've picked them all up myself). But I've been thinking that it might be fun to get some from some places that I haven't been to, or especially places that I might not be aware of (and then may want to visit).

So I figured I'd post here and see if anyone wanted to help me out by grabbing some for me the next time you're in a place (highway rest stop/visitors center/hotel lobby, etc.) that has some for your area.

I'm primarily interested in/pick up:

-Amusement Parks
-Fairytale/Santa/Kiddie Parks
-Ripley's Museums
-Haunted Houses/Hayrides/Attractions (but not really Ghost Tours)
-Caves/Caverns
-Weird/Kitschy/Zany Theme Restaurants & Dinner Theaters (Medieval Times and the like)
-Wax Museums
-Magic Shows
-Any kind of wacky/bizarre places (Winchester Mystery House, Mystery Spot, etc.)
-Any kind of tourist trap

I'm not really interested in most things that are historical, educational, outdoorsy, or sophisticated (wineries, walking tours, etc.), although exceptions are always possible depending on what they are

Anyone who wants to help me out can post here or PM me anything they think they can pick up and we can work out what postage would cost.

Thanks!
