Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

This week’s assignment from the League: The Oscar goes to…

oscars

This week’s assignment for the League of Extraordinary Bloggers is a spin on a topic suggested by Rich over at Fortune and Glory (Days). Thanks Rich! …

—

The Oscars.

After last week’s responses, it is clear that one-word topics seem to generate the most interest, so interpret it as you will!

REMEMBER!: The League is always open to new members! Got a blog? Write a post in response to the weekly challenge, and you’ll be included. It’s that easy!

league logoOnce you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for contributing to The League.)

    Well, not necessarily pop culture, however, I’ll be re-finishing a vintage model kit if you care to read…my action figure stuff is probably better for the League, but I couldn’t resist the topic.

    Rather than talking ‘Awards’ I’m talking about some other ‘Oscars’ including the best: Oscar The Grouch!!

    Check out Random Nerdness for more info!

    Also be sure to listen to ‘The Random Nerdness’ podcast and ‘Geek Fallout’. I am on both and they are available on iTunes or at Podbean.com

    Got mine in late as usual. As with some others, I took “The Oscars” a bit too literally. I think we can all agree on Best Oscar though…
