Anyway, I would strongly recommend against removing metal from the rails. It’s basically folded and crimped around the plastic, as I’ve pointed out in the picture below, it would not be easy to reattach and if you did it would not have quite the same…Read more

Many old timers that collected trains are passing away and/or thier collections are being liquidated. The trolley museum has been getting many donations from families recently because it is a difficult market to be a seller in at this time.

He ran around in the dirt to not only voice, but capture the spirit of the character. He deserves the credit.

Also, did they ever make a Jane Foster (Thor) fig? Cause if so Natalie Portman would have credit for her and Padme.

When I was little I accidentally sandblasted the print off my aquanauts when playing with them in a sand-pile. I wouldn’t recommend that though as it scratches the shit out of them. Although I agree with Josh, you’re “barbarians.” >=D

I had fun doing the summer programs, which were pretty steady hours, but as far as after school things I would say unless you live in or close to Monroeville it’s probably not worth it.
