Captain Power Base

The Uncle has made such a spectacular purchase today - I'm so proud of him, he's come so far in so short a time!

While I do hope to spin an entire article out of this, I will begin here so that it's not forever lost. In watching this auction in the days and hours leading up to the Uncle's great victory, I decided to mine the eBay results of the other strange folk who were participating in the event. Most of them were run of the mill, but one dude stinks of a dealer, and let me show you why:
Old Visionaries stuff.
A much cheaper Captain Power item.
This $260 Mechwarrior Domination Booster Case (several of these).
Larger Transformer pieces, like this Scorponok, a Metroplex
in styrofoam, oh, and let's not forget an entire Fort Max. Yeah, indeed.
He even throws in some MASK vehicles and figures for good measure.

And now for some of the more personally incriminating items in the list, like the sexy bad girl comic collection (several lots like this), the slightly more racy Adult sexy bad girl comic books, and what I find to be the most amusing item on the list, what appears to be flat-out furry porn. Of course I'd need an expert opinion on that - I have my vices and fortunately that's not one of them. [time passes] Why I just wasted my time looking this up may only be excused by basic human curiosity, but wikipedia has this to say about ol' Omaha there.

It's really just more of the same on that bidder's history. I thought for sure they would come in with the big wallet and ruin the Uncle's dream, but it all worked out in the end, like an after school special.
