yes it was CSI
the murderer killed the toy dealer who sold the
submarines because he and his best friend - who
was the girl next door - tried to use the sub and
she drowned, setting the killer onto a life of
vengenace....... and the pursuit of another sub..
I think he hijacked the Red October later in life

I really wanted those Civil War soldiers as a
kid but there was one ad in the comic books that
really always caught my eye and imagination. I
always wanted to get the Submarine that was big
enough for 2 with a cost of $9.99. Hindsight I
am sure it was just cardboard but I would sure
love to see some of the items that I dreamt
about when read my comic books. You also had
the 3 full sets of fishing gear including tackle
boxes, rods/reels and a gazzillion accessories
for $12.95. I would have had to sell a million
issues of Grit (also a comic ad) to get
that. Wow..... you guys really have that
mental way-back machine running on full speed for me (and I love it).

Did any of you who were old enough to ever buy
those "100 Civil War soldiers for $1" that were
advertised on the back of DC Comics in the late
1950s? I kept begging my parents to get them,
and my dad said they were sure to be total junk,
but I knew better, and we ordered them, and they
came and they were like each the size of my
thumbnail, and they couldn't even stand, and there WERE total junk.
Not like those X-Ray Specs, which let me see inside my hand!

Rich and PJ,
Yes, that was one momentous battle for world
domination, when we all pitched in and did our
bit. Even though our soldiers had a tendency to
melt into screaming blobs of flaming plastic goo
when hit with any kind of heat ray, I do agree
with Rich's overall analysis: As in the 1950's
sci-fi movies, in the end the Army was
victorious -- the monsters did get the worst of
it (witness that today you can still buy the
tiny soldiers new but not the monsters... unless
you call those little overpriced Star Wars freakazoids real monsters. :)

I blew mine all up, too. With firecrackers.
And burned all my G.I. Joes to make them into melting monsters.
My mother thought I was going to grow up to be a
serial killer. She was greatly
relieved when I veered onto the Meteorology career path instead.

I blew all of mine up in the "Soldiers figurines VS the Aurora
Monsters Models Battles"
I think the aurora monsters got the worst of it
