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.

Displaying Six Star Wars Posters In One

The History of Star Wars Original Filmcell from the Batcave Toy Room

Day 21 was not very eventful with my 31 Days to a Better Toy Collection Challenge.

I did however hang my History of Star Wars Original Filmcell plaque. The plaque itself shows the six main posters from each of the first six Star Wars films and contains an original filmcell from each movie.

Star Wars Collection for Sale at a Steal

Recently we saw Rancho Obi-Wan sell a complete set of Star Wars action figures at auction for $11,5000, which leaves it up for debate of whether or not the figures were worth the price they sold for, but hey, it was for charity. However, look at what you could get for three times as much.

Kneel before Zod...New Man of Steel Poster Released

By now most people know that General Zod is the villain in the new Superman movie, Man of Steel. I have also read that Zod has some sort of army. My guess from this poster is Superman is surrounded by Zod's army. Although, they don't have a green glow to them...maybe Kryptonite cuffs. Either that or he has turned himself in for some reason.  I suppose time will tell. Man of Steel open in theatres June 14, 2013. What does everyone think?

The Dark Knight Rises Has A Secret...

A secret poster that is. Recently Warner Brothers released the latest movie posters for The Dark Knight Rises,  but one was left in the shadows. Only by entering a secret code on the official site were you able to view this little gem and now you can see it at The Batcave Toy Room. I think it captures the love hate relationship between Batman and Catwoman perfectly. We're getting closer. I can't wait to see this movie.

Fire Is Definitely Rising In The New Dark Knight Rises Poster

We are less than two months away from the premiere of latest installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise, The Dark Knight Rises. Recently we saw what probably be will the last updated trailer for the film and now we get to see the latest and greatest poster. It is very similar to the first version of  The Dark Knight Rises teaser poster and is now bringing this film series full circle. I think this poster looks pretty sweet and wish I had room to hang in the toy room. Is any one else planning on playing hooky like I am when The Dark Knight Rises on July 20?

When Gods...Walk Among Men: A Justice League Movie Poster

I wish Warner Brothers would get it right. Maybe one day.

Autographed Batman Forever Nicole Kidman Poster

Here's a look at one of my favorite collectibles and part of my autograph collection at the same time-My Autographed Batman Forever Nicole Kidman Poster.



When the posters in this set came out to promote the latest Batman movie I had easily picked up the other four posters in the series, but was not able to find the Chase Meridian piece of the puzzle. Shortly after I bought the other four in the set I happened to catch QVC doing a Batman Forever special segment.



Wouldn't you know it? They were offering all five from the set. Not only framed, but autographed by each of the actors whose characters were portrayed in the posters. I couldn't resist getting the one I needed to complete the set.



I would have loved to get all of them, but at $300 a piece back in 1995 it was a little bit out of my budget back then.
