3758ArticleHoju KoolanderLosing the RCA cables seems like a simple fix after a trip to Radio Shack. I think your Aunt just wanted to get those brain rotting video games out of her house and you were the beneficiary! Feb 13, 2017View
3760ArticleHoju KoolanderI didn't get into GI Joe until the Serpentor era, but I remember being blown away by how basic and slim these original figures were when I found them in my neighbor buddy's older brother's collection. I thought they were knock off bootlegs or something. But given the awesome layouts in store catalogs I probably would have bought them anyway.Catalog Pages: 1982 Sears Wish Book Featuring G.I.

3771ArticleHoju Koolander@Vaporman87 I like your Z Force idea. They didn't work separately, but with their pilot powers combined... @jkatz Yeah, Heat Vision and Jack is probably the most well known failed TV pilot, but it wasn't laughably bad, just a missed opportunity.Wackiest Failed TV Pilots Part 2Feb 22, 2017View
3772ArticleHoju KoolanderI feel like I learned a lot about Chaka Khan's involvement in the 80s music scene despite the fact that I don't recall any of her actual music. The Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston has a special place in my heart because my elementary school class performed the song in sign language for some assembly in the late 80s. Being a KISS fan, the one you missed was "I Love It Loud" off the Creatures of the Night album in 1982, but that was during the band's down period, so I don't blame you.Top 80 Songs from the 80s with LOVE in the TitleFeb 22, 2017View
3783ArticleHoju KoolanderAs someone who stopped taking after the Super Nintendo, this series has been a great look at how Nintendo fared with their later systems. I just got the Marvel Disney Infinity game for my kids on the PS3, which I think is like Skylanders and it is really pretty fun. Especially for a guy who was always more into action figures than video games.The Nintendo Experience - Part 2Mar 16, 2017View
3789ArticleHoju KoolanderI always love to hear people's comic book fandom origin stories. I too was caught up in the hype of Superman's death and aftermath, with a deep love of Wizard from cover to cover for many years. I recently picked up the Emerald Dawn run at a used book store and enjoyed it quite a bit, though Kyle Rayner will always be my GL for better or for worse (probably the latter).The Beginning of My Comic Fandom Mar 22, 2017View
3790ArticleHoju KoolanderTo answer your question, I totally mailed away for my Olympic sales kit and managed one sale of Christmas cards to my friend's Mom before giving up my dreams​ of earning enough points for a rock tumbler. I also ordered some novelty pranks like Rattlesnake Eggs and the mouse trap chewing gum pack. I used to love the Things You Never Knew Existed and Can't Possibly Live Without catalog as well. During the 90s comic book boom Mile High opened a location in Anaheim, CA that was massive. I loved going through that store and even got some "Collectors Item" comics from an in store auction.Halftone WondersMar 22, 2017View
3791ArticleHoju KoolanderI have always had a soft spot for oldies as well and went to a 60's superstars show at a county fair around 1989 where acts like The Monkees, Bobby "Boris" Pickett (The Monster Mash) and The Tokens ( The Lion Sleeps Tonight) among others performed, it was great. I would have loved to see all those Grandmas freaking out at your show.Salute to the '60sMar 22, 2017View
3799ArticleHoju Koolander@oldschool80s Sounds like a cool collector's item. I had no idea they were doing midnight screenings of new films that far back. @jkatz Yeah, I actually got the Dick Tracy NES game recently and man, is it a bummer. I like the varied gameplay and mystery concept, but all the snipers on the rooftop are ridiculous.Antique Store Finds: Dick Tracy MemorabiliaMar 23, 2017View
3804ArticleHoju Koolander@Caps 2.0 So basically you were "The Kid" from the movie and got to use Dick Tracy's name in real life? That's awesome! Maybe you should try to set-up one of your famous interviews with that child actor, Charlie Korsmo, since he was also in Hook and What About Bob?Antique Store Finds: Dick Tracy MemorabiliaMar 26, 2017View
