When I was around 12, I loved assembling and painting the Aurora monster model kits. For Christmas 2021, my wife got me a modern plastic kit of one of the Universal classics that Aurora never produced. So for the first time in a very long time, I did a little model-building, and I'm quite happy with how it turned out. It's far from expert-quality, but I don't have the patience, the equipment, or the dexterity for that level of craft. But still, a pretty cool build that I'm proud of: It was a whole lot of fun to add details like bottle labels, book titles, papers and map, "vapors", broken "glass", etc. Looks excellent to me! What other creatures, etc. are in this "unproduced" series? If there are more, Mrs. mwg should have your next few birthdays and Christmases covered...

The company, Moebius Models, used to produce replicas of the Aurora classics, but they now have several new takes on the same subjects, including a terrific looking Mummy, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Bride & Monster of Frankenstein. Another company, Monarch, has produced this one (not my work!) which, while not up to the sculpt quality of Moebius, appeals to the Aurora-building child inside me: It's a companion piece to the Aurora/Warren Publishing original Forgotten Prisoner of Castel-Mare, which was one of my favorites as a kid!

I LOVED that Forgotten Prisoner model, too, MWGallaher. One of the only ones I put together without turning it into a mass of Testor's glue!

I just tried and had no issue reaching the ebay page. -M Seems to be ok now but I couldn't access it for about 1/2 hour and saw others mentioning the same issue on the ebay community page. Fortunately I didn't miss out on anything, but it's the first time that happened.
I just saw a bunch of folk on the FB groups I sell and trade vintage rpg stuff on talking about it. They say it had crashed for most of the day, but I hadn't tried to get on all day until you posted, so I they must have fixed the issue before I did. -M

I went into Pepe’s Chicken and requested *plain* chicken. Nothing on it. When I got home, there was mayo on it.
Now, I detest mayo, keep it away from me.
I did e-mail Pepe’s Chicken. Apparently, requesting plain chicken doesn’t keep the mayo off. You have to specifically request that mayo not be included. They don’t class it as a sauce, but a condiment. But surely PLAIN chicken means no sauces, condiments or anything,
Won’t be using Pepe’s Chicken again.

Now, I detest mayo, keep it away from me. I don't actually mind Mayo (I like it on a Whopper quite a bit) but I'm curious as to why there seems to be entire online communities built around hating a condiment. But then again, it's the internet, who needs reasons for anything?

I'm indifferent to mayo...I don't mind if it's in my Subway but I don't reach for it if I'm doing my own sandwich.
But I must have honey mustard....

When I’m World President, I’m gonna run an advertising campaign against mayo. I won’t ban it but I’ll encourage people to keep away from it…

Got an item from Australia....it only took 4 months to arrive.
The things I do for my stamp collection.
I think it's safe to say that if any group of people would understand the collecting bug, it's this one.
