The Great White Bite

This is one collection that I wished I'd been involved with in my childhood, but since that happened two decades before these aquatics crawled into Fission City, I'll have to be satisfied with the occasional find as happened in Lismore of late. Like to thank Cash for increasing my herring swarm to orca proportions, including the fantastic battle car (minus killer teeth) as seen below..
If this interests your tastebuds like any good seafood banquet should, then hit google or jump to this link here to wet your appetite.. then grab some sushimi and settle back to good ol' '90s entertainment!

Now that's way better than Turtles...






















Pure terror - even without the teeth..

I'm not sure which came first - these Mattel monstrousniceties or the US TV animated series from 1994, but most likely they went arm-in-arm, reaching for parents pockets like a Great White hunting seal wallets.
So far only two VHS collections of 6 episodes from the 40 produced have fallen into my hands.. but like a binoculared lifeguard, I'm always on the lookout..

Going underground upcountry

Lismore.. oh Lismore of old - once a thriving opshop destination.. Early January is probably not the prime time to visit, with what looked like a couple of possible excellent diggings closed due to holidays, and those that were open were at once a shot in the arm that the Glory Days have passed with some ridiculous prices (up to $10!) for records that would be a joke at $2 at home.. and that's at a Family Store..
Did manage to extract these VHS from a old school old ladies at the counter type of opper which was well worth the $1 each. That's how I like it..

So.. no black platters on this outing, it wasn't until another expedition into Lismore on the weekend that Kaspar and I were hopeful for more expansion..

Delving into the Underground Market (literally under the major shopping mall) we were rewarded with half a dozen old Hot Wheels (also a KBoy certified HW carry bag - thanks Melissa for the $1.50) and a fine addition to my Street Sharks encampment..

(Street Sharks coming soon..)
