Outpost: Silver Dollar City

Branson, MO Okay, so you’re probably wondering why I’m blogging about a visit to Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO on a blog that centers primarily on nerdy things.  Well, here’s why:  Just because there’s no science fiction or comics involved doesn’t mean something can’t be nerdy!  In fact, there’s quite a bit of good nerdinessContinue reading “Outpost: Silver Dollar City”

New Additions To The Ol’ Star Wars Collection (And A Collector Rant)

Lake Charles, LA Now, it’s time for my collector’s rant.  Normally I don’t mind when other collectors gripe about the quality of a figure if they are purchasing high end figures (i.e. Sideshow Collectibles), but reading about all of the whiners griping about the quality of the Saga Legends and Black Series figures is reallyContinue reading “New Additions To The Ol’ Star Wars Collection (And A Collector Rant)”

To The Comic Book Store!!!
