They're not rare and I've loads of duplicates if anyone wants them! Good on yer mate! .. I'll have a look if I got anything spacey. [/b] Cheers D! I think I just like them for the artwork and the idealism of both the USA and Soviet/Communist countries for a Space age now long gone.

Not so much nowadays, especially since a new wave of Dalek merchendise, but if I see a really stunning one, I'll grab it.

Soviet art is quite popular here; lots of stores carry reproductions but it gets quite expensive.

maryann Member Joined: Dec 2006 new york	Hmm, my interests other than music? I enjoy reading, am an avid ice hockey (NHL) fan , love to hike, nature-watch, sitting at the seashore. I love to watch wildlife, whether it is deer or birds or my cats. As part of that enjoyment, I do take lots of pictures.

Althought I'm not a religious person I do find old churches quite interesting. Quote: In recent years I have discovered the chef within me. I love eating food, going to restaurants etc, discovering the food of other countries etc. I suppose it's a bit like art, but using food instead - you're still creating something at the end of it!! Anyway I love cooking and baking cakes or scones (and eating them afterwards).... in my Dalek apron - as Peter will experience this weekend! I can now testify just how good Alex's baking actually is. I had the privilege of sampling a French sponge cake that Alex baked on a recent visit to Sheffield. Thank you Alex. It was yummy. Peter :p
