Yet another victim! Reading the posts on the PL board have crippled me back to the hobby I loved as a kid (especially the site redirects for technique-very well done). 39 now, I had all the sets when they came out in the 70's (glow version) and like others gooped and monkeyed em together where they scared me in the night time. Heck I even had to put em back in the boxes. I missed the 90's wave of reissues but am scouring Atlanta for any and all. I lurk in the toy aisles and when asked for help today a young guy looked at me like I was the 3-headed snake model when I asked for just that..."models". none there. Michael's did have lots of dusty cars and I dropped a quick $50 on recommended supplies. I was able to pick up the PL TOS at Target and would like suggestions on building tips & painting. My brother had the original model when the series started-and I would sneak in his room to make it "fly" <<I now cringe thinking of the sound of that plastic stressing>> I have my eye on some of the neon monsters - worth it? Should I even attempt to paint? Monster drag cars?
Looks like I'll be stopping by yard sales more often since I have the (old) newfound bug. I welcome myself back to the hobby, greetings to all and thanks for the hundreds of posts I've already read and the provided links.
Is it normal to feel a little "dirty" like doing something I love but shouldn't be doing, because I should only concentrate on the rat-race??? And-why does my wife call me her "11 year old"!!!
ps. If PL has a tent sale...I'm driving!
