My Father’s cigarette card collection
I only have a couple of items from my father, he was not a rich man, nor did he accumulate much in the way of stuff in his later life. Which is fine as I really didn’t want much from him. He and I, as the sad story goes, did not see eye to ey...
My Star Trek Christmas ornaments
I know it is a little early to be doing Christmas related posts and already I have two in a row! But I think this qualifies as OK because it is more Star Trek related than Christmas. I mentioned yesterday that I’ve got a bunch of Star Trek Ch...
The only reason why I would consider buying a Christmas tree
Tracey and I bought a Christmas tree a couple of years into our marriage, we bought a really good one that I would proudly put together each year like I was actually handy or something (generally I’m not a handy man although since buying a hou...
They either have a great sense of humour or they are sticking it to us
Over the years I’ve seen some weird product tie-ins to films and wondered what the thinking behind them, especially figurines and statues. I’m having some trouble thinking of one now and I’m sure someone in the comments can sugges...
Just beamed up from the sewer? Good grief.
I’ve been talking a fair bit on Twitter about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in preparation for this weekend’s Ninja Turtle flavoured podcast (in fact I’m watching TMNT2 as I type this) and over here I’ve been talking toys a bit...
The Real Ghostbusters?
I think I can reasonably say that one of the most important films in my life is Ghostbusters, I’ve literally seen it well over a hundred times, I’ve actually watched it more than once in a day several times (not so much these days as I st...
This is a great Batman cover and a not as great toy
It has been a while since I really liked a Batman comic, I got back into reading them just before the whole Batman RIP thing started and found it was harder than an X-Factor comic for me to work out what was going on and who was doing what and that B...
I don’t want to start nothing but is that seriously the best phaser we’re going to get?
One of the less obvious excitement points for me last year when Iron Man was coming out is that I realised that there would be toys… Um I mean figurines… Ummmm collectibles. Yeah that’s right, collectibles. So the movie was fast a...
Seiko Australia = EPIC WIN
If you all cast your memories back (unless this is your first time visiting QYDJ and then I have to say hi!), then you might recall that I sent the decidedly wretched remains of a watch to Seiko in the hopes that they might be able to bring the watch...
Seiko Australia = huge WIN
You may remember a week or so ago I sent off my beloved Final Fantasy watch in what can only be described as ‘ordinary condition’. OK maybe I’m downplaying the condition of this watch it was in bloody awful condition and I thought...
A big challenge for Seiko
A long time ago in a town not so far from where I am now, well far enough away, I bought a watch. I loved that watch, it was limited edition, it was cool, it was geeky it was unique in that I’ve never ever seen another. Then I got the battery...
