Yes, you heard correctly.

I will be bringing my entire collection, including display cases, to Mego Meet 2017 in Skokie, Illinois to be displayed in its entirety for the first time outside of my home.

Here's looking forward to seeing you there!

[huedell]

Austin/Dorothy! I love your collection more than words can say... it is AWESOME, and the fact you are displaying it all at a remote location like MM is sooooo COOL.... that said: I really, REALLY love that cute little Austin face at the bottom of the pic. HAD to say it :)

[sprytel]

Wow! That is quite the undertaking, sir. I can't imagine how long that will take to pack and set up again... but God love you for doing it.

[ScottA]

Sweet baby Jesus!!

[EMCE Hammer]

That 1:1 scale custom in the lower middle almost looks human.

[darklord1967]

Epic! simply epic!!!

[Confessional]

What an undertaking! I won't make it to MM, but in the spirit of all that is good around here, thanks for sharing! ;)

[emeraldknight47]

Wow, that is going to be SO impressive in person; I envy the folks who are going to be experiencing it! May God grant you patience, a strong back and a big truck!

[BATMAN89]

Amazing!!!
Do you need to rent a moving company to help you??? :smiley1:
It will be cool to see all of your stuff!

[TrekStar]

I won't be making it to mego meet, but you have an AMAZING collection, I think you will arrive in a moving van
and leave in a brinks truck.

[WannabeMego]

Sweet baby Jesus!!

What He Said...but with a New York Accent and some profanity for flair ;)

[The Re-Rooter]

Glass Cases are SOO heavy! I hope that moving them/set-up/break down won't consume all your time at the show!

[samurainoir]

This is going to be EPIC.

[Type3Toys]

We'r gonna need a bigger boat!

[noelani72]

whoa. that almost looks spooky seeing those empty dark cabinets.

[EMCE Hammer]

Seeing that tote reminds me of setting up Dave's collection in Wheeling.

[WannabeMego]

Seeing that tote reminds me of setting up Dave's collection in Wheeling.

I was thinking the SAME thing :)

[Jorge Galvan]

Austin, I hope you have help in moving all of this.

[emeraldknight47]

You're certainly getting your exercise this weekend, Austin! Looking good!

[megowgsh]

Done!

[Legend of Link]

No pictures can do this collection justice. There are no words in the dictionary that properly describe the awe that this display puts one in. This ladies and gentlemen, is a pure display of love and dedication to the hobby, not to mention, to Mego itself. This is truly an inspiring and beautiful array. I applaud you and thank you for this amazing opportunity Austin.

Peace, Love, Mego my friend

[alex]

Wow, can we get some close ups please ;)

[Hector]

Holy craap...your dedication and commitment was actually more impressive than your collection, ok...let's say a draw, wow...

[EMCE Hammer]

Austin moved mountains to get his collection to the meet. It was amazing to see it all together.

[PNGwynne]

My mind is blown!

[Bronxboykev]

Thank you Brother Huff for making sure we get to experience what you get to every day, even if it was just for a little while!!!

[nvmbrsdoom5]

Pictures really can't do it justice, it was pretty amazing. I and many other folks there spent quite a bit of time just marveling at all of it! Austin's a maniac for hauling all of that out there and the amount of time it took to get it all done, but I think we're all pretty happy that he did :)

[blastphemey]

What a sight to behold! Looks like you all had a blast this year

[ScottA]

There were no words for this display.

[BATMAN89]

It was magnificent to behold!!!

[noelani72]

I'm still shocked you brought it all.
An amazing display.
I think more of us need to do that - get back to bringing our collections - bring the stuff so everyone can finally see it in person.

[samurainoir]

Standing ovation dude. I know it was a huge undertaking, but well worth it from the response you got from everyone.

Huge testament that every time I walked into that room, there was someone staring bug-eyed at the shelves, picking up their jaws off the floor.

I was still spotting things I hadn't noticed prior, and this is after I think I spent at least an hour staring at it last year, and even more time going over my photos of the set-up.

[trekman101]

I didn't tell you at the meet but your collection is awesome :drool_y:

[VintageMike]

It was awesome. Loved the display and the reason for bringing it. In agreement, we nee dmore of this type of thing.

[sprytel]

Some day, there will be epic poetry written about Austin and this collection. I can't stop looking at the pictures... it must have been glorious to see them all in person.

[darklord1967]

Austin's display was certainly THE epic highlight of this year's MEGO MEET!! I'm sure glad I got the chance to experience it in person!! I actually feel privileged!!:grin:

[megowgsh]

Thanks to Paitoy for making this amazing video. I think it captures the essence of the moment very well.
