Apparently, it's Trading Cards for Adults Day. No, I don’t know who comes up with these things either.

The first cards I remember collecting appeared in shops in 1966. These were The Riddler's Riddle, featuring scenes from the Batman TV series and movie. A delightful set of 38 cards, each with—as the name suggests—a riddle to solve on the back.

One of my earliest memories is of opening a packet and discovering the cards inside were in Dutch.

“I was in dire need of tremendous help at that time…And it helped me grow back into a successful name again. People recognized my name, and still do, because of Catwoman.”

— Eartha Kitt (1927-2008)

I found something in the backups. Nine years ago, I edited Batman: The Movie to the music from Mad Max: Fury Road. I don't remember why, probably on some weird impulse, but I remember having fun. I really like both movies. So please enjoy this super short trailer.

I know we all hate stickers, but I have to say that they offered a clever solution to a fairly complicated design problem on the fins of the Batmobile. Of course it requires a steady hand to get them applied correctly, or they would look horrible. Overall, I'm happy with this build. Like everyone else has said, it's bigger than I was expecting. Definitely not minifig scale.

I know it will seem silly to some, but I am beyond delighted to hear that Corgi Toys are rereleasing the 1960s Batmobile.

This was THE toy of my youth. As a boy, in the 1960s, I raced my Batmobile out of the 'Batcave' under the sofa and across the carpet to Gotham City (14 miles according to the TV show). That toy brought me so much joy at a difficult time in my life. I own a beat up Corgi Batmobile and another that I restored, but I can't wait to buy a pristine new one.
