Box of Schlock: Eighties Rewind

Next month I am celebrating some of the things that I loved during the eighties with my 1980's Rewind Edition of the Box of Schlock. In August, I am throwing in all kinds of goodies, both new and vintage, from the 1980's.  Plus, as always, candy, snacks, and a Mystery Gift! I am still working out details on how to make the Box of Schlock into a subscription based thing, but for the moment, you can still go to my site and pre-order one for $25 with free shipping.  It's a U.S. only affair, apologies England. So far, I have found some cool still sealed trading cards and Garbage Pail Kids pins, which that in itself should be enough for anyone to grab a box.

Grab one or three at my store over at www.houseofschlock.com .  Supplies are limited, so...

Okay, now comes the second reason as to why this whole thing is damn amazing; the diorama display uses a hologram technology to bring He-Man and and more to life!  I mean, you can seriously watch He-Man fight off the bad guys right before your eyes.  Now, this is all because thanks to a Pepper's Ghost Illusion.  The same thing that brings ghosts to lif...
