Superman Comic With Super Price Tag!
Some hot news has been seeping its way though the TruffleShuffle office this week! Recent reports have revealed that a copy of Action Comics No 1, which features the very first appearance of one of the most iconic superheroes ever Superman, has sold for a little over £1.9m!
.
Becoming the highest price ever paid for a comic book (previously £1.4m for the same edition back in 2011), this jaw-dropping record was reached mainly because this is thought to be the best condition copy remaining and with only 50 thought to be left in total. What's more is this iconic comic only cost 10 US cents back in 1938!
After the original owner's death, the family went on to sell it to a dealer in the early 1980s and it was eventually sold to Mr Adams, who runs the Pristine Comics shop in Washington state.
According to seller Darren Adams, this comic was purchased back in 1938 and was kept in a cedar chest in a home in West Virginia, USA for most of its life.

SPOTTED! Loving our Love Kills T-Shirt on top Fashion Blog Moon-Magik!
Even more fashion blogger action folks!
We've had so much love recently from a whole heap of our favourite fashion blogs recently which is simply amazing! Getting to see our clothing out and about in the real world and getting styled up in as many different ways as possible is just such a joy to us and we can't get enough.
As you might remember, a few weeks back top blogger and queen of various social media sites Killy from the fab Moon-Magik Fashion Blog featured our Jimi Hendrix Photographic Baseball T-Shirt (see it HERE) and it looked amazing! Well she's only gone and done it again, this time taking on our Love Kills T-Shirt from Kill Brand.
Classic Retro Toys You Didn't Get As a Kid But Can Buy Now!
We've all been there, when there is that one toy, game or gadget that seems like the perfect thing ever. It will solved all of life's problems, it will make you happier than anything and for as long as you could possibly imagine and well....everyone else had one!
But alas! Not every toy that kept you up at night just thinking about would ever be yours, but don't let that crush your dreams! That thing you wanted more than ever back then is possibly still up for grabs and now nobody can say that most evil word 'no'.
To refresh some of these childhood memories and perhaps dive into our back pockets and start waving money at whoever stands in the way of us and our childhood dreams, we thought we would put together some of our top toys and gadgets we wanted back in the day but never got. Take a peep!
