I feel kinda bad for him, he just wanted to take part in a hobby he loves, without worrying about being mobbed or something. The price of fame, I guess...it sucks though.

And personally, I have to give a big shout out to rche and his wonderful son who showed up at zero hour right when the main show was closing down at 5pm. I'd felt that we'd really bonded over the last five years or so in our mutual love of Mexican action figures and it was a tremendous pleasure to finally meet you, thanks so much for making the trip (I'd almost given up at that point! ). And thanks for bringing your Ledy 12" Star Wars figures, they blew me away!
Glad to bring the Jawa and Raider along. Not much use to have weird old toys if there is no one to share them with. I had a great time chatting with everyone about the 'through the looking glass' feeling of collecting non US versions of vintage toys.Comment

Ha Ha! yes - it takes a certain crazyness to put the hammer down for x amount of hours and hit the doors at closing time.
Truthfully, I was there to meet as many of ya'll as I could and I wasn't too worried about missing any grand purchases. Megomuseum has been a good freind to me over the years, and I was happy to finally put some faces to the virtual voices that run through my head when I read the posts here.
Glad to share the LL love with those that were around to check out my toys. Hopefully we can get a Vader on your shelf soon.
I'm so glad to have met rche as well, and it was so great to see those Ledy's in person. I'm glad we had a chance to dine with him and his son, and that he was able to at least come and experience, and socialize in the Mego Suite.
Brian and I were just chatting in the car, and we were saying about how it speaks volumes that someone would travel that distance to catch the end-of-a-show, just to meet and hang out with you.
Also: continuing our proud tradition of fumbling around a strange city, not-quite-lost.Comment

The plan for next year, if he does show up again... EVERYONE PRETEND NOT TO RECOGNIZE, HIM EVEN IF YOU DO!!!!!!
Leave the man alone to do his Mego-shopping in peace.Last edited by samurainoir; Jun 9, '15, 11:27 PM.Comment
