I'm looking for two books...they're both in the Dragon Lance Series. I'm looking for the original, first printing of Chronicles, Volume I, Dragons of Autumn Twilight and Chronicles, Volume III, Dragons of Spring Dawning. My boyfriend has the collection and these two books got ruined on him and I was just wondering if there was anyone who had them and was willing to sell them, of if anyone knew where I might possibly get them. The first was printed in 1984 and the second in 1985. I know I can just go to the bookstore and get him new ones, but the fact that they were first printings is what's important to him. He doesn't want to break up the set and all that. So, if anyone has any info for me, please let me know. Thanks. Also, if anyone can tell me where I might be able to get my hands on the purple vinyl copy of the 45 of Prince's Purple Rain, I'd love you forever. I'm a HUGE Prince fan, and I had a chance to get that particular piece, and the chance slipped by me. I'd appreciate the info. Thanks again.

JB> I take it your looking for Batman and Poison Ivy, right? I have JB> plenty extra of Batman. But I'm still missing Poison Ivy myself. If JB> you want the Batman just drop me a note. Hi James - Yes, I would like to get maybe 2-3 "Batman" cells. I have a bunch of cells I can trade - I have 2 extra Batgirls, 2 extra Robins, and 6 extra Mr. Freezes. I started out wanting to collect 2 sets of the cells. As it turned out, I wasn't able to do that. I did get 2 of each of every cell except the "Batman" cell, which I didn't get any of. I have a good friend in Oakland who only wanted one set, but he couldn't find any Batmans either. I believe the reason is that the Batman cell was the first one put in chip bags, and they came and went before I knew about the promotion. When I found out about it, Robins were everywhere. Then Batgirls were everywhere - in every brand and type of chip, then lastly, Mr. Freeze. Poison Ivy seems to have been the "key" cell - it seems lots of folks never saw those. I was lucky in that I got two of them, but *only* two - in over 30 bags purchased over the last month. My friend in Oakland, though, got only Poison Ivy's! Seems the FritoLay distributor up in Redding that serves my area and yours (Chico and Sac are both handled by the same FritoLay branch) got only a very few of those Poison Ivy cells. But the plant down in the Bay Area had tons of Poison Ivys and no Batmans. Hense my friend got tons of Poison Ivys and no Batmans!) Anyway, my friend asked me to see if I could find one Batman cell for him. Which means to finish my 2 sets and get one for him, I would need 3 Batmans altogether. My friend is also sending me up one of his extra Poison Ivy cells, which I am going to send to you. He'll get his Poison Ivy in the mail to me tomorrow. It's only 1 day service to Chico from Oakland, so I'll get it Tuesday, and try to get it out to you that same day. Meaning you should have your Poison Ivy and whatever else you select from me by dnesday. So: I will send you one Poison Ivy in exchange for one Batman. This will take care of my friend. As for me - if you have extra Batmans, I would like to offer you your choice of any combination of Freeze, Robin or Batgirl cells, or I would be willing to buy the Batman cells from you if you wish. I need 2 of these cells to complete my own 2 sets. Let me know what you think... Also please post or netmail me your address so I can get these out to you right away (after we decide how many cells we'll be trading or whatever). --- GoldED 2.50 * Origin: The Moonshadow :*: 916.343.0534 :*: Chico, CA :*: (1:119/50) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 250 COLLECTABLES Ref: EAY00000 Date: 06/23/97 From: PAUL WORLEY Time: 03:20pm \/To: JOHN GIANNINI (Read 2 times) Subj: Picture Disks Hello John!
