Hey folks. I don’t know how to sugar coat this, so I’ll just come out with it. I’ve just learned that the end of the world is fast approaching, and we are all certainly doomed.

Need proof? The dollar is crashing, we are in a recession, gas is $4 a gallon, and The New Kids on the Block are reuniting.

Remember Marky Mark and the Sucky Funky Bunch, and how much they blew? Mark Wahlberg smartened up and started acting, earning tons of money and respect. I thought his”New Kid” brother Donnie was going the same route but MAN is this a step backwards for him. Who knows…maybe they will kick ass and I’ll be rocking out to their new album. Maybe I can even catch them live with M.C. Hammer opening for them. That would be way too legit.

Good morning. I just got some Mr. Do!’s Castle and Do! Run Run sideart sets in the mail yesterday form ePay. I’m not too happy with the condition of them. It looks like they were damaged when they were inserted into cardboard for shipping. The edge that would have entered the box first for both Mr. Do!’s Castle pieces looks like it hit another piece of cardboard inside the box, crinkling the edge and causing some of the paint to crack and come off.

This is the worse of the 2:

You can see the damage on the left. Here’s a closeup:

Here’s Do! Run Run:

The other Do! Run Run piece has a small area of damage, but not as bad as Mr. Do!’s Castle. I’m going to contact the seller and see if he can give me a partial refund, as the damage was definitely not in the picture he posted.

Hey. I have some really bad news to report today. The wife and I had a big blowout last night over the space my games are taking up, and all the money I keep blowing on them. She’s about had it, and it’s to the point that either the games go, or I go. She wants them out ASAP, so they are all up for grabs. I can’t make my money back unfortunately with this short notice, so I’m letting them go dirt cheap. I would prefer if someone could take them all. If you can, let me know via a comment to this post. I’m flexible on price, but I’m thinking maybe $500 for all of them so I can get her out of my hair as quick as possible. This really sucks guys.

Here’s a list of what I have. You can find pics of all of these on my Photos page.
