There aren't many pieces, and the level of detail is disappointing, if typical for a mid-70's MPC kit. Opening the bag knocks the price down to $20 or so.Įverything's molded in white. Nope! A new-in-box, in-bag kit (unassembled) was listed for about the same amount-but a new-in-box shrinkwrapped kit was running around $120.00! I'm afraid to assemble the thing, now. I took the $60 hit, then went looking on eBay to see whether I'd messed up. I knew it was a rare bird already, and I knew the mighty Saturn could wait a few more weeks. In box (a little sun-faded, no shrinkwrap). I was originally going after the Revell 1:96 Saturn V kit. I finally found one at John's Models, a little shop north of town. I wasn't up for scratchbuilding one of my own, couldn't pick up a CGI model or put it on a shelf, and still didn't have an Eagle. A bit more digging turned up a guy who made CGI models of the ships, which he put into vignettes of his own. Once I had internet access, I found a site detailing the restoration of one of the original 44" miniatures from the show. I coveted that model until that store closed up, still hoping to find a kit, going by to "visit" it, studying details and then going home and trying to draw what I'd seen as a set of plans, the closest thing I had to having an Eagle. I never saw another Eagle kit anywhere, other than an assembled one on display in a little toy & hobby shop in the mall. I was about 10, on an allowance, short a few bucks.I got the Hawk fighter from the same show instead. I have wanted one of these since the late 70's, when I spotted one on a store shelf. It's a few months early, but I'd like to tell this twit right now, since I will otherwise forget: Remember the Mohammed cartoons? If not him, there's always someone who would get violent over stupid things like the use of "Happy Holidays." Yeah, he's got it tagged as "humor," but one never really knows what violence such people will resort to if their passive aggression doesn't get them what they want. His WLS rant is just a childish temper tantrum, and nothing more than one would expect considering what passes for a conservative these days-though I bet this WLS thinks he's got a good Lewis Black-style rant instead. ![]() He howls in impotent fist-shaking rage at "bitter, angry" atheist strawmen and their NERVE (and here he clutches his pearls like an hysterical June Cleaver sighting a mouse) at expressing their opinions publicly on public transit banners, then tells us that we believe in NOTHING (hey, what's one more religious imbecile who doesn't even know what an atheist is?)! He screeches about "political correctness," a term the professional hysterics and herds of WLS's use to scare each other with, but which otherwise simply means "people saying or doing things we don't like." He spits the word Kwanzaa the way a cobra spits venom, butthurt and bitter that other people would dare to take attention from his own imaginary holy day by celebrating their own. Nope, he just bitches about it, like a good WLS should. Like so many Whiny Little Shits (hereafter "WLS"), he doesn't know basic stuff like "X" being an abbreviation for "Christ"-and that the christers themselves came up with that. How about Comic Sans? No one likes it anyway. There should be a "Whiny Little Shit" font for people like him to rant in. Oh, he does go on-and his post would have the right vocal tenor if we could get Anthony "C-3PO" Daniels to do the voiceover. From a fat man in a red suit who sneaks down our chimney at night, to flying reindeer with red noses, to a very unmanly enchanted snowman (that’s right, I said it!! I hate Frosty!!), we will look to anything to not have to look toward or understand the true meaning of CHRISTmas. ![]() We have created numerous fairy tales to detract from the true meaning. Yes, this shall be one of my rants.ĭoes anyone really believe our nation is better off without the true meaning of Christmas allowed in public places? It is already an over-commercialized financially crippling mess. ![]() Political correctness, coupled with bitter, angry atheists, have all but destroyed any remnants of the reason for celebrating this holiday, and I am at an unprofessional boiling point. I’ve just about had enough of the minimization of Christmas. The Next Person Who Says Happy Holidays Shall Be Punched In The Throat this guy says he will punch people in the throat if they don't make His Whiny Little Shitness happy: So there I was, minding my own business and reading PZ Myers' Pharyngula blog, when I came across a link to some whiny little shit whining in his overwrought little shit manner.īUT.
