Complete this phrase: "Quentin could hardly wait to open the coffin that he'd dug up because, rather than a decayed body, he was certain it contained...!!"

Pez

[Mysterious Benefactor]

    

It's too bad DC never thought to sell DS dispensers for Pez - I bet they would have sold infinitely better than that Vampire Van...

[Uncle Roger]

I certainly would have purchased one! Because, well, Pez!

[Mysterious Benefactor]

(  I would have definitely collected them!! But even though the Vampire Van was reissued a few years back, I still have no interest in it!!  )

[Uncle Roger]

I would definitely agree with you on that, MB. If I thought that a DS item was junk (or something that I simply was not interested in) in 1970, my opinion is pretty much the same today.

[Mysterious Benefactor]

(  Exactly!! And considering how much of a completist I was about collecting DS stuff when I was a kid, not wanting the Vampire Van back then is really saying something!!)

[Uncle Roger]

I suppose that if we had purchased some of those items, we could have made some serious money on the resale market. I know that I considered myself past the age where I would be interested in owning a magic slate.

[Mysterious Benefactor]

I suppose that if we had purchased some of those items, we could have made some serious money on the resale market.

(Probably - and particularly if we'd never even bothered to open them!!)

[Uncle Roger]

Very true. I have recently begun replacing my collection of Disneykins. Prices fluctuate wildly on them. Though I certainly can't expect them to still go for the 1961 price of 15 cents!
