So here I am getting ready to head home for the day and I just thought I’d snap a couple pics with my phone. So here they are and not too shabby quality for a stinking phone!

A couple of the Funkeys I’ve purchased recently. It’s a fairly new computer game / vinyl collectibles line. I love the way they look and I figure my kids will probably get a kick out of playing the game. I want more!

U.B.Funkeys

A shot of my cluttered Hasbro “chunkies” figures. A mash of both Transformers and Marvel characters. I’m a bit obsessed with these as well. Yes, I’m a dork…

I was on eBay the other day, and thought to myself, “Oh look, my favorite searches!” Yes it was the feature I had used so many times years back when I was looking for many of my 80′s nostalgia. I clicked and there it was. The search term I had blocked from my mind for the past few years. Yes, “M.U.S.C.L.E.” was the term and I began to drool.

Those wonderful little pink guys that helped me through so many afternoons of playtime were back in my mind. So I searched. Scads of them and they weren’t selling for the rediculous prices they had been during the late 90′s/early 2000′s. It was on!

So yeah, I won a couple auctions yesterday. I’m going to wait until I get those two shipments to see if all the warm fuzzy feelings come back. I expect that they will. And I expect that (like all things I start purchasing) my internal completionist monster will wake up and force me to hunt down the rest. Of course my sons will be happy about this too, because I’ll likely give them the extras I’ll be getting.

Fun for me, fun for them. Everyone wins! Well, except the pocketbook…
