Need: Winged Thor helmet and hammer, brochures or maps (which can be printed out) of Coney Island -- and something to destroy them with.

• The Staten Island Ninja Burglar
Need: Ninja outfit, complete with nunchucks. Fake stab wound to the chest. Map of Staten Island.

Need: Carrie necklace, engagement ring and the craziest Patricia Field-esque outfit you can find.
