Edit: Jbox is nonadult version of Jlist.  Sorry, I didn't even realize there was an adult version.  Now I have to live with the fact that I have purchased something from an "Adult" website.

I bought the set of 7 dioramas and the set of 9 extra magnets.  I hope to use them at school on my metal backed white boards to make vector and motion diagrams in physics if the students can tell what they are from the back of the room.

I posted the Luigi picture because it is rare.  I just notice that the above picture with Luigi says Mario on the screen.  I wonder if any of them say Luigi.  Here's the Mario version:

They also have more Mario magnets:

Yes, I am a teacher.

Thanks to the 3-d pixelation, I could make the items out of legos!  At least assuming that some of the items can be doubled onto the other flat side.  And assuming I have the time or patience right now.

EDIT: Luigison, do you teach at a high school or college?

LD is right.  He has great long distance memory.  I teach physics, Earth scienc, and physical science.  I have a degree in chemistry, but haven't taught it in several years.

Edit:  Does anybody else have or want these?

Assuming your school is near my section of California, I could go to school there!

I'm pretty sure I'm kidding, but it would probably beat my old school.

I teach at a SLO school.

I had credit card fraud, canceled my card, and re-order the magnets and dioramas on my debit.  Somebody bought about $960 from WalMart.com on my card.  I am glad I caught the fraud in less than 24 hours because they had change my address and phone number on the card.  So even if the credit card company had suspected fraud they would have not been able to contact me about it.

I got my SMB figures and dioramas yesterday.  They are cool, but I made a few incorrect assumptions about them.  They are not back with metal and all the items, coins, characters, and blocks are not magnetic.  For example:



In the above diorama the only thing with a magnet is the Luigi sprite.  You put a coin shaped piece with a metal center behind the board to hold Luigi to the board.  While it is neat to move the piece on the back and watch Luigi move on the front, I assumed all the piece would be magnetic and the board would be completely customizable.  This is not the case.

The block on the bottom are all connected and the background board fits into them to stand up.  The other block snap into place on the board by a few small hole in the board itself.  This was a big disappointment.  I wanted the board to be solid so I could put more/different magnets on it.

My cell phone camera's USB link cable is not working right in Windows XP so I will have to post pictures later.  I also can't "play" Mario Teaches Typing 2 or get my wireless network to work on Windows XP.

Do you have one of the Super Mario 64 DS high scores?  If so, post it here.

You know, I just realized some thing about the latest Windows. From a smiley perspective, some people would say the tag is very fitting. >.< = XP

Pretty funny.

Ohh, that's how you do it!  I saw those at my local anime store (wizzywig.com) and picked one up--not the dioramas but the single magnet kind.  I got the fire Luigi (you can't tell which you're going to get when you buy it), but I've had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to stick it places, because it comes with this weird yellow block thing with a tiny metal disc embedded in it.  Not only that, but the magnet comes out of Luigi and I'm not sure if it's supposed to or not.  Maybe mine was broken.

Right now it's very precariously stuck to my fridge.
