    hi all.
    I have spoken with Shane, and he did make good on the funds I paid out all those years ago to JetJungle75.
    That's a good start to fixing the past ;-)

        Thank you for the opportunity Chad. I would love to stay a part of this community again as it was one of the best group of people I have ever known. To do so I need to make good with anyone I may have wronged. Please, if you know I owe you money, let me know. I want nothing more than to square that debt away.

                  Having Ben reach out was a fantastic surprise. It is great to hear from you Ben. I've missed our conversations very much.

                    I know first hand what a forgiving lot this group is. Never underestimate the kindness in folks' hearts. The past is the past.

                      Very well stated and you nailed it. Everyone I had done any wrong to when I got really sick has let me make good on the wrong and it's like I'm right back where we left off. Just with a lot more new collectibles! It's going to take me quite some time to rebuild what I had in my toy collection but it didn't take any time at all to rebuild the friendships that I missed so dearly in this group of folks.

                          Thank you. I still have health issues but the Doctors keep things under control. I'm able to support my family and live a semi-active life. There are bad days but my life is blessed in so many other ways.

                              The only original megos I was lacking were Zorro, Secret ID Batman and Secret ID Spiderman. Had all vehicles and playsets except the Batcave and Wayne Foundation. Even had the Waltons house and truck. For that matter I had Jugghead and his jelope (sp?). Had everything Castaway had ever produced including the throne for the Phantom (that was an awesome peice). Had all EMCE and ZICA produced up to that time and the first 2 waves of Retro Superheroes that had been done. A showcase full of Farley and Blackknight customs. Nearly all of the Gabriel Lone Ranger buildings and figures. The first 2 runs of GI Joes and Star Wars Action Figures plus vehicles for both. Anything and everything produced by FTC at the time, which was a lot. Also had 7 fully functioning arcade games including Donkey Kong, Pacman, Vector Star Wars, Street Fighter, Mortal Combat, Area 51 and Centipede. Nearly all of the Playmates Star Trek figures. All of the Famous Covers and similar Origin Line. Over 50k comics including Amazing Spider-Man #1.

                              Needless to say I sold everything. Either on this museum or to comic book stores throughout Ohio. The money went for bills, hospital expenses, etc.

                                Welcome back HoG.

                                I'm sort of in the same boat you're in.

                                I've had to sell most of my cherished collectables to pay for medical expenses.

                                I'm currently in home hospice care so I guess I won't be missing them for much longer anyway.
