Reasons to LOVE Halloween Day 10

Today we have maybe the best Real Ghostbusters episodes ever! "When Halloween Was Forever"  enjoy!

Where do you find all this crap??

A lot of people ask me where I find all of the stuff in my collection. How in the hell do I fill an entire roon full of stuff from our childhood that has other people wanting to come over with their wallets open?

It's simple. SHOP SHOP SHOP.

Every morning before I leave the house, I check Craigslist. First and most importantly, I always type in Ghostbusters, then it goes to Star Wars, Power Rangers, Ninja Turtles, etc.

9 times out of 10 there are no postings, so then I look under Garage Sales and see which ones might have toys listed. When I get time, or am not at work, I hit those up.

When there are no garage sales, or I'm done with those for whatever day it is, that's when I go to thrift stores. The town I live in has about 10 thrift stores to raid. Usually I find something good at one.

Also go to antique malls and flea markets. While sometimes things are more expensive than they would be at a garage sale or thrift store, sometimes they aren't. Just the other day I got a whole set of unopened Power Rangers from McDonalds at an atique mall for 5 bucks. I also scored a 4th Ecto-1 for 5 bucks.

If all else fails, start hitting up your friends. I've always found that anybody the same age as me still has their junk sitting in their parents basement that they will sell to you.

The trick is not to just do this once in a while, but every day. Places like thrift stores add new items multiple times a day every day.

If you have some cool finds of you own, feel free to comment below.

Wonder Ball

These things were genuinely amazing. I LOVE Nestle Crunch, or anything they make for that matter, but a whole ball of chocolate? Hell yes! If that wasn't good enough, the ball was hollow inside and contained a toy, and more candy! Nestle, I beg you, BRING THESE BACK!!

Goof Troop





When I think back to about 1992, every day getting ready for school, I watched Goof Troop.

The single father Goofy and his son Max are a middle class family who live next door to Pete and his upper class family.

Goofy always seems to foil any of Pete's get richer quick schemes in any form. Pete is even more perturbed that  everybody else in his family gets along with Goofy. PJ and Max are even best friends.

PJ is Pete's son, who longs to have the respect of his father, but usually doesn't get it.
Pete's daughter, Pistol is obnoxious and spoiled rotten, and his wife Peg seems down to earth, yet has the same lust for money.

The series was so popular they made 2 movies from it. A Goofy Movie, and the ill fated Extremely Goofy Movie.

As of this time only one dvd has been released with 3 episodes. No plans have been made to put out the entire series which is pretty disappointing because it truly was one of the better Disney shows.

Reasons to LOVE Halloween Day 9

Today we have Pumpkin Spice Eggo Waffles. They are now in stores, and freakin awesome! I picked some up the other night. It literally tastes like a pumpkin pie waffle. Grab some now!

Power Rangers found!

While at the antique mall, I finally came across a complete, unopened set of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures and zords from McDonalds. As you will recall, I posted about these the other day. Now I have extras. I found all 6 unopened for $5.

Also scored another Ecto-1 (yes, I have 4 now) for 5 bucks.
