Wanted

Things I want. . .

Books

I collect Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazines. Trying to say which I need is kinda tricky (I haven't even really updated my database recently, let alone figured out how to publish it on the Web). I generally value EQMMs at at most $3 apiece (for issues I do not yet have) ($4 for issues before 1960). I don't have any of the first four issues (Fall 1941--May 1942), and those will probably cost me a lot more to get. I'm told that the second issue is especially rare (I saw it in a Seattle bookstore a few years ago for $25).

I also collect stories by Edward D. Hoch. Again, determining what is needed is tricky. There are a few relevent books on my Amazon Wish List (how do you create links to those things, anyway?).

Lego

Most of the interesting Lego sets are only available from Lego Shop-at-Home. Sets of interest: Y-Wing (10134), Durmstrang Ship (4768), Darth Vader Transformation (7251), General Grievous Chase (7255). and Ultimate Space Battle (7283).

I'm trying to be Star Wars Lego complete through 2003. Sort of. I am SW complete through 2002; for newer sets, the LUGNET Guide pages should say if I have a particular set.

Accessory packs are always good. Lego Shop-at-Home has lots, most of which should have discounts for quantities of fifteen packs or more. Stuff I could use:

626 Large Green Baseplate
627 Large Blue Baseplate
628 X-Large Gray Baseplate
3446 2x2 Window White
3447 1 x 3 x 4 Wall Element Transparent Blue
3448 1 x 4 x 5 Black Windows with Clear Glass
3508 1 x 4 x 5 Black Windows with TrBlue Glass
3492 2x2 Black Smooth Tiles
4108 T-Junction Road Plate
10145 Assorted Light Gray Bricks
10146 Assorted Dark Gray Bricks
10148 Assorted Light Grey Plates
10149 Assorted Dark Grey Plates

Of those, probably the most needed are gray plates. Other useful stuff: straight train track (4515) and points (4531) are always good. I think the best value for track might be one of the track kits, the Deluxe (K3531).

Misc

I like Uno bars, especially the mint kind (which is presumably why those have been discontinued).

Jolt Cherry Bomb is my favourite kind of pop. The only sources I can find in the Northwest (or, really, anywhere) are Bartell's Drugs and McLendon's Hardware.
