Ditto here. I know we'll never see that kind of Mego love presented with such skill and artistry on a daily basis again. It was a rich, rich experience I am sad to say too many Mego lovers missed out on. Thank goodness for archives.

[palitoy]

That's really sad to hear Ben, you put a ton of energy into those well written, beautiful entries and I really enjoyed them.

[ScottA]

I too am sad to hear this. Thank you for the time and effort you put not only into the book but the blog as well. I really enjoyed reading it and getting tons on information of not only Mego but the behind the scenes things as well. It will be missed.

[Sideshow Spock]

Why for it is? The blog seemed to be cooking right along lately.. I really got a kick out of the price tag and retailer features..

[toys2cool]

sorry to hear that man,you did an outstanding job

[The Toyroom]

To quote Charlie Brown...."Aaauuuuuugh!" Say it isn't so! The book and the blog seemed to be such a labor of love that's it's sad to hear the blog is shutting down for good.

[Hulk]

That's a shame. I have never been much of a blog follower, but I found myself reading this one more than others. You were truly on the edge of making blogs commonplace Benjamin. Looking forward to your next endeavor, whatever that might be.

What a great ride its been. You've added so much to the Mego community and you did it with stlye and class. Anyone who can bring so many Two Guys memories back for me HAS to have some value. Good luck in your future efforts, though I'm sure you will most likely not nee it.

[cjefferys]

Sad to hear, but thanks for all the blog entries Ben, they were really fun to read.

[twilitezoner]

Thanks for everything you have done Benjamin. It's been a great 2 years.

[megowgsh]

Thank you for all the wonderful comments. I sincerely appreciate the support and kind words. I posted a coda tonight, borrowing from the late (great) Jeff Buckley for a title:

(This is) Our Last Goodbye (http://www.worldsgreatesttoys.com/wgtBlog/)

D'OH. I hope there is something new and exciting on your agenda Benjamin. I want you to know that your book has become an integral part of my life. Thank you again. And thanks for all your blogs too... :sad:

Sorry to see the Blog go. I'll miss it. I should have checked in more often. I tended to check in several entries worth in one big lump.

All good things must come to an end, and we have been fortunate enough that it has been with us all the way until this ending. But this is not the beginning of the end; it is the end of the beginning. I, for one, cannot wait to learn what it is when this new beginning reaches my horizon where I shall be waiting for it, one hopes, not too impatiently. :)

We all owe Ben a huge debt of gratitude for all of the untold hours he's spent since the dawn of the Millenium conceiving, creating, publishing, and blogging his work. Ben is as exceptional a person as he is talented visually, and I am glad to see that he feels his work here is complete. I can wait to see what our good friend Mr. Holcomb creates next. I know that whatever it is, be animal, vegetable, mineral, or graphical, it will be fantastic!

Salut Ben!

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I feel so sad to see your heroes on Ebay Benjamin. You aren't ditching Megos altogether are you? :(
