Wisconsin Mini Gathering

[Toyman_Chris]

when: Saturday, January 21st
Time: 2PM - 8PM
Address is: 319 Lawe St
Kaukauna, WI
920-462-0002

I will be closing my store to host this. I am not wanting this to be a sales thing, so much as a hang out thing. I don't want anyone feeling obligated to spend money. I honestly don't have much MEGO "stock" since I am hoarding it all.

There will be free food and soda.

[Toyman_Chris]

Bumping this up. To my knowledge there will be three of us from the boards attending. More would be welcome. Those of you planning on attending, say so here in this thread. Let people know who is coming.

[Kotter]

I'll be there.

[argent007]

Hi guys, I really wish I could be there. Please post pictures and share the treasures you guys buy and trade.

I grew up in Kenosha and maintain a residence in Madison. But, I'm working in Belize right now. I don't mind avoiding the Wisconsin winter (I was running in shorts and a t-shirt today), but I wish I could be there.

I'm cheering on the Packers from here!

Have fun and I really hope this is repeated next year.

We will definitely be doing this annually. More people every year, that's how it works. :wink:

[Toyman_Chris]

just bumping this. Hope we get some people to come on out.

[Toyman_Chris]

This coming Saturday. Looking pretty bleak on attendance. Where did all the "interest" go?

[Kotter]

Chris, do you think it will just be me and you?

[Toyman_Chris]

Chris, do you think it will just be me and you?

Could be. PARTY!! BRING THE MAD DOG 20/20.

[Kotter]

I'll bring my kids in the afternoon (don't worry, my 8-year old won't drink much of our Mad Dog). I'll try to recruit a buddy as well.

[Toyman_Chris]

Cool. Might end up being a wuick mwet/greet, but at least we can start something.

[Kotter]

Sounds good. See you at 2.

[Kotter]

I recruited a buddy to come with me tomorrow. He signed up for the forum today, but is not allowed to post anything yet. Just thought you'd like to know that there will be another feller bringing goodies to swap at the mini-meet.

[Toyman_Chris]

Good to know! I was hoping to get a package in the mail today that would have had some more duplicate MEGO's, unfortunately it didn't show. I will have some nice trade stuff regardless! Looking forward to 2:00PM

[Toyman_Chris]

Kotter and his friend showed up. We hung out for 8 hours. It was so much fun talking MEGO & sharing stories/ideas. Definitely doing this again!!

[Kotter]

I could not agree more. Chris was an awesome host and is an even better guy. Plus I learned a lot about megos and made some nice trades. Great stuff!!

[kennermike]

That cool fellas!

[argent007]

See you guys next time. Should be back in Wisconsin by then. Do you guys collect comics or just toys?

[Toyman_Chris]

I have some comics. I showed em to the guys. :grin:

[Kotter]

I have some comics. I showed em to the guys. :grin:

I have a handful of comics, but nothing like Chris's collection.

[Toyman_Chris]

I have a handful of comics, but nothing like Chris's collection.

C'mon......It's only 9 short boxes. :grin: I remember when I used to collect hard core I had over 100 long boxes. I cut the fat and just left the meat. :drool_y:

[argent007]

Cool.

I have a fair amount (5-6K) and if there are things you'd guys like me to bring next time, let me know. You can let me know the character, title, genre, time frame, whatever and I'll see what I have.

Of course, I'll also dig around for extra toys, especially Megos!

[Toyman_Chris]

Well, there are a few Showcase issues I need. Mostly, I am wanting MEGO POTA stuff and variants of the WGSH Line

No. i am not drunk. I just look like it.

A pic of the stuff I traded Kotter for. Not much here for my personal collection, but some nice sale items for my store. I am keeping the Star Wars 'Super 8" reel! He was able to get some MEGO's for is collection!

Sure, That is what they all say. :smiley1: j/k

Great to hear that your get together materialized. Maybe next time it will be even bigger and better. :smile: For now it is at least a start. :yes:

[Hector]

Hey, that was pretty cool...it's always nice to meet in a little group like that.

But who is who?

[Kotter]

Yes, it was a ton of fun. By the way, I am the bald guy in the middle with the glasses on his head.

Thanks again for hosting, Chris!!

[Toyman_Chris]

Hey, that was pretty cool...it's always nice to meet in a little group like that.

But who is who?

The guy on the far left is Scott (I don't know his MM name). he is friends with the guy in the middle whose name is also Scott (Kotter). I am the extremely sexy beast on the far right, in the yellow shirt.

Hey guys, what a great time. I keep thinking about all the great stuff we saw and traded for. I am getting hooked on this MEGO thing! I am the guy on the far left of the above photo looking for more tasty Christmas candy.
My handle is web (for world wide web) McP for McPherson (last name).

[Hector]

Thanks, nice to meet ya!

:smiley13: :grin:

See he came in just wanting the newer Marvel figs...he will end up being a MEGO head like all of us. Muuuuuaahhhhh!!

:grin:

[Toyman_Chris]

So, the three of us had discussed getting together on a monthly basis and talking shop.

How about Saturday, Feb 25th! My place at 4:00pm?

[Kotter]

Off the top of my head, I think that works. Let me check when I get home tonight to make sure. Hopefully the place next door will be doing karaoke again.

[kennermike]

thats cool fellas love the pictures!

[MIB41]

Always great to see family pictures. :yes:

[webmcp]

Feb 24th should work for me.
<UPDATE> the 25th is what I meant Toyman

Karaoke!! Woot!!

[Kotter]

Let's do it!! Any other Wisconsin folks coming?

[Toyman_Chris]

Bumpity! anyone else planning on joining the three of us??

[Kotter]

Hey guys...looking forward to our mini-meet gathering this weekend. Hopefully we'll be able to recruit another friend or two, but either way it will be a blast.

Definitely. If you guys wanna come over early, let me know.

[Toyman_Chris]

Looks like we are planning on starting around 2:00PM. any other Wisconsin peeps planning on showing up?

[Toyman_Chris]

Bumpity!

[Kotter]

See you at 2

[Brad]

Have fun guys! I would love to go but it's just too far away for me. I am about 13 miles South of the Cheddar Curtain (Wisconsin boarder) so it would be about 3 1/2 hours drive for me.

[webmcp]

Great time. Well worth the trip to see all the great stuff and learn from Toyman and Kotter.
