Back in the 60's I think the Aurora monster model kits sold in the millions. What do old Aurora kits sell for now? If they're anything like those also-sold-in-the-millions Star Wars dolls action figures, their prices must be through the roof. Even "loose" (uncarded) action figures in rotten condition go for a small bundle o' dough these days. Originals in shrink wrap or model kits never re-released can go for good bucks. But most Aurora model kits have been re-released on and off over the last 40 years so values has gone way down. Heck just this year a company is re-releasing Aurora's Land of the Giants and Lost In Space model kits. But. Are they....complete?

In today's chapter of "Sean's Confessions".... I bought a few relatively expensive collectibles years ago (always under $100). Mostly marvel busts, including this lovely, The Watcher: And then I went all out, saved up, and bought this for something like $175 - Adam Warlock in the Infinity Watch years: After which, I said, "What the hell am I doing? I've got this freaking huge statue that, frankly, just lives in the basement now and will eventually be donated or probably more likely trashed. Um, that was a fun but ultimately ridiculous purchase." These days, I get the urge 3-4 times a year, and am often satisfied with $20 Eaglemoss Star Trek ships (which by the way includes the Pasteur). I bought this one early this year, I think - Romulan Scout Ship. Makes me just as happy, maybe more so, very cute sitting near my tea mug here in my office.

I wanted to buy a GODZILLA 2014 but apparently Toho never licensed it.

And when the wife/girlfriend gives a funny look about the toys, just remind her you've counted how many shoes/purses she owns. And the final tally is un-natural.
