Youngest and oldest members

[jwyblejr]

40 here. According to his baptismal certificate,my late grandfather was younger than me. It listed his birth date as 1978 instead of 1918.

Yeah...I've never quite "gotten" what the big deal is...on disclosing your age (both men and women)...it is, what it is.

BTW...you don't look a day over 32...

Thanks Hector!

[HardyGirl]

I forget how old I am because it's not important to me. I'm the same age as Sharry so I guess I'm 45.

Well almost...next month, right?

[cjefferys]

43 years old here. Certainly not the youngest, but happily not the oldest either.

I lived in Mexico from ages 7-14 (near Guadalajara)...I had tons of Lili Ledy Superheroes...

I've heard that story before Hector, but I still find that fascinating. You knew about the existence of Ledys decades before almost all of us did. If you would have told collectors back around 1990 that the Megos released in Mexico when you were a kid were different, most probably would have said that you were full of crap.

I'm 29, as stated earlier. I think my earliest memory of Mego was when I was a teenager and taking the train into Manhattan from Long Island and seeing the KISS dolls in a store called "Loves Saves the Day". I've always thought older stuff was cooler than the current. Music, movies, toys, etc.

I think I kinda always had awareness of Mego stuff...but up until I started collecting it, I was under the assumption that it was high end, untouchable stuff.

I'll be 44 in November. My first Mego was a bearded AJ in a dark blue jumper. Then WGSH came out and it was all downhill from there.

[MIB41]

I'm 47 and still rockin'...

[DocDrako]

I'm 42 going on 10.

[The Toyroom]

Age is just a number...

[torgospizza]

I turn 45 in about a month and a half.

45 in 2 days.

Hey, if I don't catch a Happy Birthday post for you then, have a good one!

The thing about Mexican culture...is that they are not too keen on collecting pop culture stuff...only a few do that...perhaps now a lot more collect thanks to the internet and eBay...but back in the 70s...the thought of collecting was a rather alien concept...

...and once I got back to the USA...I realized what a dummy I was...

Age is just a number...

Superman will swoop underneath you and save you....
