I think CSI (maybe NY, who knows there are so many) did an episode or
two on how the cardboard submarine was the pinnacle reason of why a
person was murdered...

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
