Luck, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?

So with the recent release of the new TMNT film I've been-a-thinking. We all know of the 80s nostalgia boom which brought us a revamped He-Man and brought Transformers back into the mainstream but what of M.A.S.K?

Wait, hang on.

But what of M.A.S.K?

Not a peep. Now I liked M.A.S.K. It's concept was cool, the cars would change into jets and the cartoon wasn't bad either. But why has no one brought it back?

But the main thing is when I was looking through that site I found a price list. And on that price list I had this one and this one and this one. And this one, this one, this one, this, this which was a favourite, this, this one, I'm pretty sure this one, this one for sure, this, this, this I remember because the guy would never sit on the bike properly, this, this, and this.

In my defence, I was an only child.

Now, total those up and you'd get a tidy sum ready for some eBay lovin'. But what happened to all these toys? After a bedroom clean out they ended up being left outside in the rain until they went mouldy and were then thrown out.

*sigh*

Join us next time what I reminisce about selling all my Star Wars toys, including no less than ten vehicles, at a car boot, twenty pound for the lot. Or the time I leant my copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga to a friend at college who promptly dropped out and was never heard of again.

I make myself sick sometimes.

Well Colour Me Stunned

So I have broadband now. Wireless. Pretty sweet. Which means the doors of YouTube are now finally open to me. Which mainly meant watching episode of Thomas The Tank Engine with my Boy. But then he got bored and I started searching for other things when I found this:



It's a clip of an anime from the 1970s based on the Ultraman TV series. Now, I watched this show on video when I was 3 or 4. I would make my parents get this out for me every time we went into the local video library. There was only the one tape with maybe 3 episodes tops and I'd watch it over and over again. That and Mazinga Z. The shop closed when I was maybe 5. Never seen the tape anywhere since.

And do you know what? This clip is from one of the episodes on that tape. The one I clearly remember because at the end the boy cries because the little aligator he found and cared for turns into a giant monster and Ultraman has to kill him which the boy knows has to be done but he still cries and plays the song he used to play when the monster was smaller and they were together.

I have never meant this more; God Bless The Internet.
