This is the Hot Wheels Marvel Spider-Man 04/08 Spider Rider. This isn’t exactly the Spider-Mobile, but it’s close. It is from the Spider-Man series of 2014 that attempts to personify various characters from the Marvel Spider-Man series by selecting already modeled cars. None of the other cars in this series were interesting. The DC series was much better.
This Fleer The McFarlane Era Spider-Man Set is from 1993. I have Prizm cards #2, 4 & 5.

This 180 card set is pretty nice. It has a 9 card 2009 Foil chase set and a Hologram card. In my box I got Foils #1, Doom 2099 and #7 Specialist. I got Hologram #H-IV Green Venom Vs Spider-Man. I was able to complete a set and 52 cards away from a second set. Here is the Nlist page.
Can you imagine my collection without Spider-Man figures? This is apparently the only one I have though…
Venom is, by far, my favorite villain. This one is with a Spider-Man Trap Base. I think I coud have done better picking a Venom figure to buy.
The Earth X series from Marvel is one of my favorites. I stumbled upon this Toyfare Exclusive Earth X Venom figure at Heroes Con 08 for $1 and had to pick it up.
I have always loved video games. They have been my spare times passion for over 15 years. Most of my experience has been with console games, and that is great. However, some of my favorite memories are of playing Galaga. There isn't a stand up Galaga cabinet near by so I could only get my Galaga fix with an emulator. As fun as that is, a keyboard just doesn't cut it.
The dream of owning a Galaga cabinet would fill my mind any time I played the game. Finding one has been a little difficult, and when I do they are too expensive.
Recently I went to an Arcade Machine Auction in Winston Salem with a friend of mine. There were several Galaga cabinets available but they sold for way too much. So I began to toss around the idea of building a MAME cabinet. I would need an inexpensive box to put it in so, I kept my eye out for one.
Towards the end of the day an X-Men vs. Street Fighter was auctioned. for the auction the cabinet was plugged in but it didn't turn on. this was okay with me because I didn't need it to work. Nobody bid on it an I was able to get it for $20. Which is good even for an empty cabinet.
It turns out the cabinet was in perfect working order, nobody thought to flip the switch on. The monitor didn't have any burn-in whatsoever. All the controls worked and the sound quality was awesome. There are a few cosmetic problems, most notably a large chunk of wood missing from the left side. This was easily fixed by some wood filler.
I now had a dilemma. Should I keep my new found deal as an X-Men vs. Street Fighter cabinet or replace it with MAME. I do really like XMvsSF but, I wanted to play Galaga. I decided that I would do both.
Here's a few of the posters I have. Sorry that the quality is so bad, I left them in the sleeves when I took the pictures.
