Dr.Bedlam Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Don'cha hate it when somebody finds something really awesome at a garage sale, or a charity shop, or the Goodwill store? And then they go online and crow about it? Yeah, if you feel that way, don't follow the link below. I sure wouldn't want to upset anyone. And there are LOTS of pictures. http://crimsongeist.blogspot.com/2010/06/i-monitor-and-post-on-several.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof65 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 LMAO WWHBE* To the rest of you, you have to read the Doctor's blog post, if only to get to his last lines about Sean Connery in a diaper... ---- *With White Hot Burning Envy...

haldir Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I remember that (those)! I recall wanting it too, but like the Krynn red dragon & all the other neat 80s stuff, I had no cash & neither did my mom (or at least for "things" like this), it just flew by into history. awesome find!!

warlordgarou Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I have sold off one copy of Battlemasters over the years. I think I still have two or three copies, though I doubt I could assemble more than 2 complete copies. (Can't say my stuff is NIB like his though - that would be nice.)

Dr.Bedlam Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 NOTE: Anyone who monitors The Miniatures Page, Bill Armintrout's most excellent web site devoted to all things miniatures... knows of Zardoz. In a nutshell: a while back, they developed their own version of "rickrolling;" instead of clicking a link and getting a music video, though, you'd click a link and wind up looking at Sean Connery in the movie Zardoz, in which he spent most of the movie running around in ammo bandoliers, thigh high boots, and a red diaper. This was the one time I actually participated in this meme. However, I was telling the truth (this time, at least) -- I actually found that book at Half Price Books not two hours before finding the copy of Battle Masters. Go figure! Truly, a day laden with treasures... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vejlin Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 my eyes!!! 007 in a thong and ponytail is just so.... wrong. and not in the good way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Bedlam Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Could be worse. You could have watched the whole movie. Some women like it. After all, it's a youngish Sean Connery spending most of a movie mostly naked. Well, except for the part near the end where they put him in a wedding dress. And no, I'm not kidding. That's what I mean. This movie could not get made these days, because those kind of drugs in those potencies haven't been available since 1969...

Randalll Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I think he did Zardoz to break out of the Bond Genre. He wanted people to stop thinking of him as 'James Bond.' He saw this script and said 'that'll do.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
