Yeah, it's a high end G-shock, Casio makes several different models of the venerable good ol' G-shock, and has for years. The "Frogman" is one of the more expensive of the "plastic" / resin cased ones, as it is the ONLY G-shock ISO certified for scuba diving. Truth be told ANY G-shock should be good for just a regular recreational scuba diver, but the "Frogman" is the one they tout as their "special scuba " one, and can withstand some incredible depths, more than the regular G-shock can. Truth be told, the regular G-shock can withstand depths YOU can't w/o a pressurized suit or in a sub / diving bell, but the Froggie (Frogman G-shock) can do it an go further and deeper than the regular G-shock, so it's not just a marketing thing. After guns and Joes, G-shocks are my other fetish. Here's some good sites for those not in the know, there are MANY different G-shock models, I think I am up to like 10 or so now - Casio: G-Shock - Mens - Watches - Digital Watches Frogman - G-Shock Wiki | casio watch resources My G-Shock News | Blog | New Releases | Reviews | Casio Men's Watches on mygshock.com .

Thanks, but don't bother. The Frogman usually goes for some where in the $400-$500 range. .................... yeah, for a G-shock. :O Told ya' this wasn't any regular G-shock you can go down to Wally World and get for $60 bucks. :( (NOTE: Interesting side note - the simple basic G-shock 6600 model you CAN buy for like $60 or so easily at retail and online (Amazon) WAS the US Navy SEAL issue watch for some time! :O ) Here's a pic - and BTW, FYI this is a G-shock Frogman - This is my "custom" one (yes, I customize my G-shocks too . See the difference between it and the regular G-shock above? It's MUCH bigger in diameter and the case is larger and thicker too.

I have seen some Thundercat stuff yes. Everything from Heman to Star Wars is here. They just don't want us taking video in the toy shops. I have seen a ton of original Star Wars and Star Trek stuff.

I also found a whole bunch of old Action Force figures carded but I have no idea what kind of value they hold. All I know is they are from Europe and the cards were written in French on the back. Looked like they were from the 70s. They were all around $15 each.
