1208ArticlevkimoThat's hilarious about the TV set! I remember seeing the first Plasma TVs that came out with my parents at a high end electronics store. 10,000 dollars! It looked amazing then I bet a 200 Wal-Mart TV looks better now. It seems like the furniture market is dominated by a few large companies now. I remember back in California you could go downtown to San Francisco and get the cheap chinese furniture from various warehouse stores. I wish I had pictures of this stuff, the designs were outrageous. Zebra print couched, lamps with hydra like bulbs...it was great.  Sep 07, 2014View
1209ArticleVaporman87Even in no man's land here, we still had a few pieces that were "Chinese". Mostly deep, gloss black end tables with crazy gold dragon and other print all over it. The wood was SO cheap. They may as well have made it from cardboard. Retro ThriftingSep 07, 2014View
1210ArticleHoju KoolanderYeah, her article on C.U.T.I.E.S is what got me thinking about the other toys of that size from back int he day. That's the great thing about this site, we can spark those memories in each other with our own.The Mini & The MightySep 07, 2014View
1211ArticleVaporman87No doubt. If nothing else, your bound to find inspiration for writing by sifting through the stories and memories of others. Though something tells me you have a pretty good amount of inspiration as it is. lolThe Mini & The MightySep 07, 2014View
1212ArticlepikachuloverI remember those furniture stores. There were some in my area too in So. Cal. When I got thrifting I like to pick up Sanrio items. I've gotten some good deals including a suitcase and plush. Sanrio items are hard to gauge. You need to have a good eye for them. One time I bought a large Pound Puppy.

1213ArticlepikachuloverI'm trying to think if there were other mini girl toys besides CUTIES. I think the Petite Ponies. They were really small My Little Ponies and the Littlest Pet Shop toys. Companies liked to market tiny playsets to girls. The Mini & The MightySep 08, 2014View
1214ArticlevkimoOne of my favorite mini fig lines were Z Bots. They were made by Micro Machines and looked like little robots. There were tons of them and I think I have exactly 1 left from the dozens I had as a kid.The Mini & The MightySep 08, 2014View
1215ArticleVaporman87I remember some mention of Z-bots in that forum thread on things we'd like to see brought back. That was another line I had no familiarity with. I think I just wasn't into the minifig craze then. I was still wanting the 6" to 12" style lines.The Mini & The MightySep 08, 2014View
1216ArticlevkimoThere's actually a Pound Puppy at the thrift store now haha it's been there a few days. I found one about 2 years ago still in the cardboard dog house, that was cool.Retro ThriftingSep 08, 2014View
1217ArticleFulton4VThe Super powers toys were some of my favorites. I had many of those. I had Batman, Superman, Mation Manhunter, and some others. I also had some Muscle figures too. Not very many though. My younger brother had more than I did of those. And I think he still has some of those. Ill have to ask him about that.The Mini & The MightySep 09, 2014View
