I actually found The Five Deadly Venoms on DVD about 7 years ago at a convention, The Big Apple Comic Con, in New York. My "Holy Grail" has been Rick Deckard's blaster replica from Blade Runner. I've seen the kit at conventions and even online but it's always been out of reach for me. I found the kit once with assembly required for, like, $50 but I don't have the skills to put something like that together and make it look good. An assembled kit is around $250. Something I really haven't been able to afford.
