I'm Getting A Little Tired of This

I discovered today that back in the late 1950s Revell released a scale model kit of a Westinghouse nuclear reactor. Being the nerd that I am, I decided I wanted to see if I could find one. Figured it was a long shot, and also figured they'd be expensive collector's items, but I'm not without means and curiosity got the better of me.

Found one on an auction site, but they would not show me prices unless, of course, I signed up.

So I signed up. They wanted credit card info because reasons, but for clear reasons if my own, I declined to give it to them.

Nevertheless, I persisted. I wanted to see if this particular item was available, or at least what the going prices were.

After collecting my personal information, I got this:


All that folderol to tell me I was five years too late.

So they have my personal info, and I do not have a model reactor to put together.

Also, no weenie whistle.
