DeLorean

Maybe this, or a version of it?? I had this too and loved playing with it!

 
These are one toy set I never did get as a kid. Funny thing is not many here in my area had them. Must not have been popular here. I always wanted them. Oh and if I had a friend that had any, Hurricane was usually the one and only vehicle they had. HAHA

For the 2600 carts, what are your label preferences? I mean quality, not variants.

While finishing up the podcast, I made this video using footage I recorded showing every official release on the 7800. You may need to turn up the volume a little as a few of the game recorded softer and I had to balance everything to them. 
Enjoy!

The idea of our Secret Santa is that the sender remains a surprise until the package is delivered. At that time the sender will be pretty obvious from the return address in most cases 

Haha well that's close enough! I should've worded that better. It's cool to have another person into arcade games and celebrating "arcade life". That's where gaming culture started

Thanks for the kind words, DeLorean.
 
Full disclosure: not an arcade collector...at all. I'd rather just go to an arcade. (Where I live there's no paucity of them!) For many reasons, I don't think I'd ever want to have an arcade game. Don't have the room for one. And these things require semi-frequent repairs that I'm not really willing to do or have done myself; I'll just leave it to the experts.
 
I DO have a Q*Bert marquee though, and I found the perfect place to hang it; just gotta figure out *how*.

I seen a video talking about it. All the right folks from Nintendo are involved. Looks fun and I can't wait to hopefully check it out in person. 

Not sure if anyone has posted about this yet but I am very excited for this!! Hope I post the link correct.

This is a great video of the shooting location.

I visited a relative in Chicago years ago when I was around 19 or so, being a huge John Hughes fan I had to seek out the "Breakfast Club" school and found out it was actually located in a suburb called Schiller Park , IL , ( "Shermer" was a fictional suburb created various Hugh's movies ) It seemed abandoned or closed but being the adventures type in my youth I tried the doors and was surprised to find one open, I thought if I could just get some pictures of the locations like the library, detention room etc . I entered and walked around inside to looking for the famous library etc, the building was pretty much empty, there were not even typical school lockers against the walls. Instead I finally found a room with several rows of lockers all stacked together when a custodian (guard) caught me and told me the "Library" was just a set built in the Gymnasium then removed after filming, he told me to leave, I had the impression it was not unusual for people to enter uninvited. The school had closed years prior due to lack of attendance and was used only for filming etc. This is me in the image many years ago, sadly I only had a crap 110 film camera
 

 
 
Come to think of it this was also my first trip outside of Canada and would remain the case for many years until I met my wife. As first trip's go that was a pretty good one!

Hey, all...just some shameless self-promotion...
 
Inky from AtariAge and I co-host Pie Factory Podcast. It's an arcade game podcast. What we do, typically:
- We discuss, rate, and share our memories of playing two (2) arcade games.
- The two (2) arcade games have a common theme. The common theme could be something as simple as "games whose titles are compound words" (such as Zoo Keeper and Firefox) to the obscure as "games that Dauber first played at Hunk's Pancake House in Bradley, IL" (Frogger and Asteroids).
 
Occasionally we veer from the usual format, such as the three episodes we've done to talk about various home consoles (we've discussed the 2600, 7800, and Sega Genesis so far), or one episode that was nothing more than an interview with Brian Colin, designer behind Rampage, Arch Rivals, etc. (Seriously, he's a fascinating and hilarious guy...)
 
We've been doing the podcast since April of last year, and in the next few days we'll be releasing episode #44, in which we discuss Dig Dug and Pac-Mania.
 
You can hear the podcast via the usual channels -- iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher...possibly a few other providers I'm forgetting about. We have a Faceobook page, and our web page is at www.piefactorypodcast.com.
 
We welcome both audio and textual feedback, too!
 
Oh...yeah...and we won the Golden Poddie Award for podcast of the year for 2015.

Does anyone remember a toy that was a set of cars that would fly apart when they smashed into each other (or anything else)?  Demolition Derby, maybe?  I think it came with a red and blue car.  My memory is fuzzy, but I always wanted one, but never got it.  That and the Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle, and also the Steve Austin (Million Dollar Man) action figure with the reticule in the eye.  No complaints though.  I'm sure every kid has things he wished he had but never got. 

I remember M.A.S.K., they were cool cars with a cartoon tie-in. Kind of similar to Transformers but not really. The only toy like this that I ever had was the Hurricane, a '57 Chevy that turned into a 6-Wheeled Mobile Field Command Post with ray guns and a man inside. This would have been around 1986.
 
 

 
 

 
 

OH MAN, I remember these!  So cool. 
 
I can't offer you any advice on collecting these toys, but I can spout all kinds of good stuff on buying that house!   

Ill give you a hint... Sounds like BTB maybe      .  I know I got you, but Im waiting to open it up on Christmas, like a good boy.

Dont know

Anyone here collect M.A.S.K. figures and vehicles? First, I would LOVE to see images of your collection. 
 
Also I think I might start collecting them once the little lady and I decide on a house. (we are in the market to purchase) Any advice at all? I will be new to collecting them!!!!!!!!

You broke the tie!
Pengo it is!

I have a Phantom 3 drone. It's pretty nice for taking pictures. I'm really happy with it. I fly the drone overhead while I ride on a longboard sometimes. It makes great videos.

Who was your Secret Santa Willie?

Sorcerer is way fun!!! It's odd but I dig too!!!!

How about the "Atari Kaboom 5th + stage" drink.
 
Shot of scotch and a punch to the face.   

This is great. And yes,,,, that set is looking amazing!
