What fun kits would you like to see?

Galactica 1980!

Oh, dear God, Flying Motorcycles. :-) I'm really surprised that some of the "old boys" here didn't come up with the Doctor Who kits that have been done over the years; particularly in regards to Daleks (numerous in both injected-molded and resin). As far as to Wallace and Grommet:

visual scene still is Grommet grabbing the drill and whirling around atop it; best look in Grommet's eyes is when he hears what Wallace said about "The Moon is _made_ of cheese, Grommet", and realizes the profound implications of that statement to his near future in regards to potential space travel). :-D

Actually, Wallace's refrigerator piled high with cheddar cheese, and his cupboards full of crackers, is a concept near and dear to me - as these are the perfect foods to sustain health over weeks or months - the perfect conjunction of snack food meeting three square meals per day, especially as one can eat all three daily meals in bed easily while reading, like any civilized being desires. Other...lesser...beings attempt to scale the slopes of Mt. Everest, or delve the depths of disease-filled jungles... I salute them... while reading of their adventures, and studying the peculiar mental aberrations that drove them in their desire to do such things. And as they faced frostbite and malaria in the unkempt areas of the world, I shall face the near-certain danger and discomfort of having to sleep on razor-sharp cracker crumbs every night of my adult life. This is the true "White Man's Burden" that Kipling spoke of. ;-)

I was thinking more in kit form. Maybe the Bender character came with a casino, with Blackjack tables and hookers? On second thoughts forget the casino and Blackjack.

forget the flapjacks.

Or "Seven of Nine" (Jeri Ryan in 'Star Trek Voyager')

~Four~ best things about that show.....

I could never pay attention to anything other than Erin Gray and Pamela Hensley. And those are the two best things about that show.

"Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" is one of those turkeys that could only be improved upon if they chose to remake it today. They would be hard pressed to find anyone that would defend the integrity of the original. It's an interesting enough concept.

Forget what I just wrote - I just imagined it and today they would cast Martin Lawrence as Buck. No thanks! Gil Gerard isn't so bad after all and we still have Wilma's form fitting (oh what a form) shiny jumpsuits to look back upon with fondness

Wm

That wasn't a sequel - that was ABC and Glen Larson humiliating themselves in front of audiences numbering in the tens of dozens.

WmB

Until recently, I thought "Dr Who" had something to do with Dr Suess's "Cat in the Hat". Don't ask me why. Might have been all the Whos down in Whoville.

Internet fans squared me away a few years back.

WmB

That observation crossed my mind too - I just felt like it gave Erin's equal billing with Hensley's, and I just don't think it stacked up (ahem) that way.

WmB

That's *Doctor* Who...

;-)

Indeed. I'm rather partial to cheese myself.

Or maybe Xev from "LEXX"...

Xev or Zev? Personally, I preferred Zev...

Was I wrong in throwing away the jelly mould covering the Easter egg from the W&G egg painting boxed kit that had been sitting in my attic all these years? It was orange and vac-formed in the shape of that rocket - but how much stuff can you keep?

Today there are over 4,350 with more released every week. The selection is just plain amazing. I'm doing eight vignettes of Russian WWI and Revolution using a different set for each. Some, such as the old Atlantis figures, need a lot of work. Most such as Strelets, Orion and Hat, are superb in both details and poses.Tom

She would love it, too. Still a might fine looking lady as she approaches 60. She attends the occasional sci-fi convention and I hear from her a couple of times per year. Planet Hollywood in downtown San Francisco has her Wilma costume as one of its displays. That waist was next to impossible.Tom
