So check out the CUSTOM page to see what he's got for ya!

12/01/01- I should have another match update by next Saturday, hopefully. I'm working on something REAL special, I mean, it just gets me ANIMATED thinking about it! Needless to say, it's taking alot longer than normal. But I'll FLAGG you down when I'm done with it.  In the meantime, check out the CUSTOM section for some cool figures done up nicely by my friend Anthony......Thanks Anthony! Also, I've just put a TON of GI Joe and Transformer stuff up on eBay. Check it out HERE! Just in time for Christmas! You can always see what I've got up by viviting the For Sale section, too!

Be careful if you are driving, also. Remember, we're not promised tomorrow, so live life to it's fullest, and spend as much time as you can with your loved ones. And don't eat too much!

Got a couple of things on the way pretty soon, too! In a couple of weeks, I will have collection pics up, and in about a month, I will have a "For Sale" page, so you can give me more of your hard earned $$$, in exchange for M.U.S.C.L.E. and Kinnikuman related stuff. A few other items in the works, too! So keep your eyes peeled, and don't forget to check back Saturday, because, YES, week 9 will be here. Thanks guys.
