Just bought this one off Ebay--can't wait for it to arrive:
She's a reproduction of the 1966 'Color Magic' Barbie doll. I've only started getting the vintage reprod. dolls (I've mainly collected Disney dolls over the last few years).

OMG! She's awesome! Is it a new reproduction- do you know when it was made?

She's a reproduction. Really love those because A) No way do I have the finances to actually purchase genuine vintage Barbie, and B) Even the repros do appreciate in value over the years, so they are sort of tomorrow's vintage dolls, if you will.

Silly things
A couple of 'Chuck' branded pocket protectors free from WB's booth
And Autographs
A photo of Henry Winkler which he singed A Fan Expo Canada 2008 Program singed by artist Brian Bolland (also he signed my copy of The Killing Joke: 20th Anniversary Edition)
I also saw Winkler's Q&A as well as Michael Rosenbaum & Laura Vandervoort's Smallville one. That was some really awesome day.

Good lord? It was actually FINISHED?!?!?!
Yup. From what I can find it was August 2002 - October 2002 for the one batch and November 2005 - January 2006 for when Kev finished it. He still never finished his Daredevil/Bullseye: The Target mini for Marvel but he and and Walt Flanagan HAVE done a new Batman three issue mini . It will come out in November and uses the villain Onomatopoeia, who he created for his run on Green Arrow, The Joker and Victor Zsasz. The scripts for thouse issues are already in at DC to make sure that another Spider-Man/Daredevil thing happens to THEM.
I finally got to set up my first Star Wars action figure display like the ones I used to love in the Sears, JCPenny, and Service Merchandise catalogs as a kid (would love a room devoted to them someday, if I have a HUGE house). My room only has space for one, and since I have that big old Ewok village, I am displaying all my Ewok figures there and the appropriate humans and wookie (gotta dig my set of the original Jedi spirits outta my closet). Anyway, picked up these today to enhance the display:
Also, I found the Hermione 12 inch figure with sound (I still hope they make the even bigger one though) for half price at Hastings (15 bucks, regular 30). And since I clearly adore Emma Watson (see avatar)....

I know they sell it in the parks, but I bought my copy off Amazon. You might be able to find it in some stores, but it's probably a rare find. I think your best bet would to buy it off Amazon, especially since the price is knocked down from $35 to 23.
I bought a car! It's a silver 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue. It's my first car and I bought it with my own money so my parents are really proud. It's really nice too; kind of big, but I only just got my license so I'll feel safer in a bigger car. My favorite part, though, is the power seat adjuster. I'm short so it's nice to have a car where I can see over the steering wheel!
This is basicaly what it looks like (though mine has stupid after-market rims and no spoiler):
Nikki, that's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm proud of you for buying it yourself- I don't think I'll ever have true financial independence, so I'm impressed that you bought it yourself!
I'm sorry to hear that.
