A Shopping Spree We Will Go At Hake's Americana and Collectibles

If money were no object I would have one hell of good time shopping over at Hake's Americana and Collectibles . However, if money were no object where would the challenge be?

I already have many of the items up for grabs this go around, but there is still plenty of toys and pop culture collectibles up for sale that I would love to get my hands on and fill the gaps in my collection, but since I didn't win the Powerball last night let's take a look at a few items that might be in my price range.

 It was the best of plans. It was a plan that just never made it completely into production.

Swimming With A Vintage Mego Aquaman

Seems like Aquaman is a constant butt of jokes these days, but why? As a master scuba diver, I would love to be able to breath underwater without breathing gear or command aquatic life. I just don't understand why he is put down so much as this guy is the main topic of the awesome blog, The Aquaman Shrine. He was always a part of the original line up of the Super Friends and was in Wave I of Mego's World's Greatest Super Heroes line along with Superman, Batman, and Robin.

Why's Everybody Always Picking On Me?
