I hope Someone Will Think This is Cool... [PIC]

Dang, I had no clue that it was still being broadcast ! 

I still like The Twilight Zone ! 

Those episodes really got you thinking even though we were still kids !!

Did you watch The Outer Limits too ?

@mikedetorrice Remco was King when I was a kid growing up in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s. I could usually get one of the bigger toys for Christmas, for Birthday’s it was Matchbox and Mad magazine subscriptions. Another really great company was Ideal. If I remember correctly, they had all the dangerous electrical toys like Incredible Edibles, Vacuform, and Easy Bake Oven.

Dayum, the Vacuform was the BEST ever !!!

All my friends loved it too !!!

I didn't have many Remco toys when I was a kid.  I did have this one, though.  

@100ford2003 Modelers pay big bucks for that vacuform machine. They're hard to come by these days.

But where can you obtain the plastic sheets ??

@100ford2003 A good hobby store (forget Hobby Lobby) are getting more and more rare. Squadron Hobby did (I haven't been on there in a while) sold them in millimeter thicknesses. A dental supply store also sells some, but they might not have the working properties you need.

Duh, I didn't think about a hobby shop ! 

I only know of 2 in the SoCal area. 

Brookurst Hobbies here in Garden Grove, they have a huge stock of military models, and Pegasus Hobbies in Upland.

Hi Marty, 

I do believe it was your suggestion, years ago, that led me to Pegasus. 

Thanks, 

Steve

Cool!  It's the most comprehensive hobby store in So Cal now.  Albeit, it has a scant diecast representation.  I do buy drone, train stuff, paint, and other modelers supplies from them.  I've had some interesting conversations with Larry, the owner. Larry showed me his classic motorcycle collection he stores in the basement of the current new location.  BTW, the storage basement has the same footprint as the store.  It's filled with inventory.  There is a lot of stuff down there.

I do remember that the selection of model kits was thru the roof !!!!
