Now you can wrap yourself in a blanket featuring a dead Optimus Prime…
I might show up to the theatre just to grab one…forget about the movie…
And walk out with a collectible tin full of popcorn…

Collectible popcorn buckets/tins/whatever have become quite the business.
lol great marketing angle
There is this great comedic reenactment of the sequence of events…using toys,
Optimus is about to put Megatron down and Rodimus runs in with flailing arms yelling “look at me, I’m helping!! I’m helping!” Optimus yells, “Rodimus, No!”…Megatron uses the distraction to fire at Optimus, blowing him away…
With his final words, Optimus on the ground lifts his head up just enough to say, “Rodimus…you F@&&-up!” and falls back to the ground.
I thought it was robot chicken, but have never been able to find the clip online.
Not the scene, but pretty funny nonetheless…
I know of Mark from my past in toy collecting. I sure hope he makes this right. Don’t do Larry Hama dirty …the Joe team will be called in.

Larry Hama is a cool dude who doesn’t suffer fools. I hope this is resolved and nobody ends up looking foolish.

Hama is cool. Been in the game a long time.
Ripping off the most high profile GI Joe person on earth would be beyond stupid. I’ve got some of Bellamo’s books. He is a known person in the toy world. And Hama, well, he IS GIJoe. This is really bizarre.

This! What is this dude thinking? And really, how dishonorable if he indeed has sold some/all of Hama’s property with no accounting.

I finally went over to Red Hood Comics in Las Vegas. The walls have CGC books all over them. The bins appeared to have double-boarded books in mylars. I didn’t see any Quintana art, but I saw the Jack Nicholson Joker costume. The only book I wanted was Vampirella #1 1969 but it wasn’t the grade I wanted. However, the price on it was fair. They have big books like House of Mysteries #92 and smaller keys. I went through the bins and quickly realized that anything good was going to be graded on the wall, which is fine. The only negative I have for the store is that it’s in the hood, so I rushed in and out. There has to be over $1M in that store, so the location is kind of baffling. Many of the books are on their website anyway, so I probably won’t go back.

Well, the location of the store shouldn’t come as a surprise given the name has indicated that it’s in the HOOD. From what I seen, I think owner is a big Red Hood and given the location of his store, may I suggest a new name for the location “Crime Alley Gotham”
