1183ArticleVaporman87He was a great talent that knew how to mask his pain. TV and film won't be the same without him. Aug 19, 2014View
1184ArticleVaporman87I might catch some flack for this, but I have NEVER watched The Wizard. I've known about it for quite some time, but wasn't interested in it when it was released in theaters, and never was able to build up any interest in it thereafter. As has been discussed here in the forums (see: http://retro-daze.org/site/thread/456 ), 1989 was a huge year for movies, with Batman taking the lead. This film never stood a chance to earn my movie ticket money. But now, with the nostalgia factor of it increasing every year, I think it's time I give this movie a viewing. It's a long time coming, but it's time to scratch this one off my bucket list. :)Nintendo Is a Wizard at Product PlacementAug 25, 2014View
1186ArticleVaporman87Ha! Life comes full circle when the bully winds up working the counter at a 7-Eleven. I can sympathize with your plight in Little League. I played Little League baseball for a short time in grade school as well. I quit for reasons I can't really remember. I think it had something to do with witnessing another player on my team get a black eye getting hit by a pitch. I was better suited for Cub Scouts, which I stayed with for a far longer period of time, still quitting it before entering Webelos though. I have a long history of not finishing things. How this website ever came into being is a miracle. LOL Little (Skills) LeagueAug 27, 2014View
1189ArticleVaporman87I think much of the reason that the She-Ra series seemed to benefit from better stories and backgrounds, was that the team at Filmation had lots of time to flesh out stuff and hone their development of the property first with He-Man. I could be wrong, but I've heard that said in "He-Man" circles for years. Also... Hordak may be a step up from Skeletor, but at least He-Man only had ONE annoying comic relief. In She-Ra we get anywhere for two to four of those (Madam Razz, her broom, Kowl, and Hordak's pet). LOLNew Eyes on He-Man and She-RaSep 02, 2014View
1193ArticleVaporman87Darn it! I don't know how many times now I have read about kids in school having cool parties (pajama parties, pizza parties, etc.). We never had parties in school. Maybe occasionally we would not have to actually do work in class, and instead sit and talk and snack, but we never had parties. We did have a Halloween celebration in elementary school though. It too had a Haunted House set up in one of the classrooms, and the gymnasium was littered with games, food, and contests. It was fun!TDitH goes Back to SchoolSep 03, 2014View
1194ArticleVaporman87No doubt about it... Pizza Hut has had some really good promotional products to offer in the past. I don't know that they do much of that anymore though. I was reminded (by the article) that I too once owned a few of the Land Before Time vinyl puppets. They were really well done. I can't say I ever wore out a copy of the Coming Out Of Their Shells Tour cassette, but I did wear out my cassette of the Turtles movie soundtrack. I can still sing you entire songs from that album that have likely never been played anywhere outside of somebody's boom box. LOLPizza Hut PromotionsSep 03, 2014View
1198ArticleVaporman87Did your school ever have games like bobbing for apples or the "mystery bag" fishing game where you drop your line behind an upright gym mat and somebody ties a bag on then pulls the string to let you know you've "caught" something? TDitH goes Back to SchoolSep 03, 2014View
1203ArticleVaporman87Yeah Fulton, we have had crane games in our local Pizza Hut as well. Can't say I've had any problems like that with them though. I love the leaving a quarter for a tip story!Pizza Hut PromotionsSep 05, 2014View

1206ArticleVaporman87I'm pretty certain I never owned any Battle Beasts, though the seem familiar to me. Like you said, without a syndicated television show to go along with them, it would have been difficult to attract those He-Man and G.I. Joe obsessed kids like me. I did, however, have many, many, M.U.S.C.L.E. figurines. I had a pretty extensive collection of them, though several of those were doubles (sometimes triples). I have a very clear memory (one of only a few) of finding some of them at a department store here locally that is now closed (and turned into a flea market) called Big Wheel. Not long after that it became a Pamida. It was during those days that I found a nice haul of M.U.S.C.L.E. figures that I had yet to own. Miss M did a nice article that had info on the female equivalent to M.U.S.C.L.E. and Monster In My Pocket that I didn't even know ever existed. You can find that here: http://www.retro-daze.org/site/article/id/181 . So the "mighty minis" weren't just a boy thing apparently. :)The Mini & The MightySep 07, 2014View
