Thread: Shout Out To Ben

  1. #1

    Shout Out To Ben

    I was looking through my World's Greatest Toys book again today.
    Every once in a while I take it out and spend and hour or so flipping through those colorful vibrant pages.


    I gotta tell you it never fails to put me in a good mood. Kind of transports me in a way.
    Whatever anxiety inducing day to day things I have been dealing with kind of fade
    away for a little while and I get lost in all that Mego goodness.


    So I thought it fitting that I give a shout out to Ben and thank him
    once again for creating one of a small selection of go-to books in my library
    that never fail to lift my spirits and allow my imagination to soar.


    Thanks,
    Johnny.

    It's my favorite coffee table book. People usually get it when they see my display, but still suffer a little aftershock. Letting them thumb through the book usually seals the deal for me, and after that I get questions asking me how my collection is coming along.

    Yes it is magical.

    Must be time for an updated picture of your collection Paul.

    I still pull this book from the bookcase on a regular basis. The pictures never cease to amaze me and it does have a way of transporting you back to those care-free childhood days.

    I still love it!
    I wish there were thoughts of another print run in a smaller trade size so I could throw it in my bag every morning.....
