I recently had a couple bucks and needed some retail therapy, so I ordered a Flying Pig from these guys, as well as one each of their Mystery Boxes.
This ended up being 4 hours of good, clean, cheap fun. I am now the proud owner of my very own flying pig, and I was able to gift a friend a set of Mood Penguin necklaces.
Other items include
Consumer
-Weird photo frame with flexible 'nerf gooseneck' mount (think gorillapod)
-UK and NZ mini flags
-Z-Card punch-out 3d Harrier models (2)
-Two Right Feet (Nylon, sizes 6m (mens) and 9w (mens), articulated)
-9 hardwood rings with a high-gloss white finish
-over-the-rail washcloth hook for the shower
-Smallish plastic bags (~4"x8") with 'Seriously, Happy Birthday' (+picture of serious dogs in party hats and sunglasses)
-Martha Stewart 'grocery list' envelopes.
Electromechanical
-14 foot phone cord (2)
-3pdt momentary switches (2)
-Wall Warts, Various (3)
-1090 watt cup heater (!)
-curious bell/relay
-wall panel with 2x bulkhead RCA and 1x bulkhead CATV
-Toilet Seat Hinges
-4-20 bolts, 2", with nuts and lockwasher (12)
-suction cup hooks
HIGHLY recommended. I felt like a giddy schoolchild. I also got the pig, of course.
The grab bags were great fun, but check out the website, they have TONS of neat stuff you didn't know you needed.

And when you're done there, head on over to http://www.goldmine-elec.com/ and get your electrical tinker on.

Okay,
Atl mentioned something about redoing The Legendary's Salvage and Enhancement Racks to even them out.
I did a little Tabulation of my own and totalled up the following in the base currently:

• Salvage Racks - 5 bins - 150 slots (2 of these are costume racks, making 90 available for Invention Salvage)
• Enhancement Tables - 9 Tables - 900 slots
• Inspiration Collectors - 2 Collectors - 200 slots
• Vaults - 2 Vaults (These do count toward storage max.)

... it's currently http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827 ... 9056/4/0/0]on sale at Right Stuf for less than half-price.

I highly recommend this series. It's directed by Junichi Sato, who worked on this series after the first season of Sailor Moon but before Princess Tutu. It's got an excellent dub. None of the characters are idiots. (Well, not complete idiots.) And there's enough fanservice to keep the teenagers interested, and enough subtext to keep the grown-ups interested.

So if you don't already have a copy, go buy one while it's inexpensive. (Although they're currently out of stock, so you'll have to wait a few days for your copy.) You can thank me later.

I've noticed during my deadtree reading of Jeremy Clarkson's collected Sunday Times (or is that Telegraph?) editorials he has a regular beef with OH&S types and Political Correctness commissionars and how they affect the filming of one of the greatest TV shows on the tubes: Top Gear; and his annual car review & other stuff video. I find myself agreeing with his views that most of it is just a way to both make a job for someone and to stop people from doing anything productive.

I certainly begin thinking down those lines when I get an email from Amazon sprewking stuff, especially when it's stuff that lets you setup a a basic cleanroom for a Quarian in your own home. Yes, I can see a point of it, set it up right and you can make as much dust as you want while you enlarge an in-use kitchen. But to mandate it just in case you disturb some lead-based paint.

Yes, lead is toxic but I'm more concerned about mercury & asbestos as one form of mercury will kill you and asbestos has a high probability of killing you in future which mercury can also do.

Yet neither of those has lead's infamy of being one of the causes for the fall of the Roman Empire.
