As I said in my introduction post, This all kinda started when I shaved. Being called Magnum or Tom Selleck by no way was an insult. I like Tom Selleck and remember watching Magnum P.I. back when I was a kid. (I was 9 when it came out) So as a Joke I got a hat of Ebay. I also found out that netflix had the whole show, So I started watching again. Now I'm hooked!!! Its awesome that the show still stands up. This is what has happened in the last 3 weeks.[/img]

wanted to start my own little thread so you can all follow as my little collection grows!

I was thinking Gorrilla mask and Ferrari keychain! But a guest house would be cool.

Nah, just enjoying the show. I'm also a costumer. Dressing up as stormtroopers in the 501st. And other heroes at local conventions. Been a handfull of superheroes and Indiana Jones. So this year it will be Magnum.

That's awesome! I've been tempted on a number of occasions to drop the hammer and buy a stormtrooper costume from the guy in the UK who has the armour moulds from the original movie. Then I imagine my wife getting the credit card bill. Laughing Still, I may do it one year.

Sorry for the late response. As for your guy selling stormtrooper suits from the original molds. Do NOT buy from him. He may have worked on the original films. But what he is selling is a rip off of a fan made suit. Google his name and you will find some interesting stories of his claims. As for his price. lets just say my suit (I had already had a helmet so I only bought the suit) was 295 american dollars. this of course is just the ABS plastic armor.

I'm guessing the 1911 is airsoft or another kind of replica? I can't imagine that convention organizers would but frown on showing up with a real .45.

Yup! Cheapo spring loaded airsoft. Did the local convention and got some shots with me and our Local Mr. T impersonator. Plus I have more to add to the collection shots!
