    I have never spoken with Derek, but I know what a difficult time this must be for him. Although I can't contribute financially (University is super-expensive), I'm going to send him a card/letter in the mail. My condolences to him and his boys.

    P.S. You guys are being absolutely amazing, and I am really glad to see that people will still band together to help a friend in need. I know that you're all doing this out of the goodness of your hearts, but be sure to recognize that you guys deserve kudos for doing something that a lot of other people wouldn't.

      Is anyone sending Derek the CTVT Robin Hood and/or Western line? Cause the two of 'em are on eBay for $43 BIN. With shipping that's only $5 per figure.

          I will be sending him CTVT figures in a couple of weeks. All of my stock is in storage, so after some relatives visit, I will be putting together a very nice package of loose figures. I'll post what I send at that point.

              I'm looking through my boxes for some stuff he might be able to use. I only have common stuff, but I know I have a caucasian AJ or two. It's not something he asked for, but maybe his kids would enjoy playing with them. If I find any of the Hot Wheels Batmobiles, maybe I'll throw that in too.

                  Thomas, that's great because now I don't have to look for one. If I see a Corgi or other superhero vehicle I'll grab that for him

                        Yeah, I have heard from him and his wife few months ago in my Native American Community Website forum (I'm Website Admin White Eagle there). He's a Moderator of my site, he thought he have time to visit with us and he having his health crisis and wife......... I feel very sorry for them. I'll keep him as Moderator, I'm honored him and his wife. I remember what he wanted is the "CHiPs" MOC and loose figures. I'll get 3 mint loose, complete ones for him someday. I'll post this thread in my Native American Community announcment sticky thread, to let my members know what happen to them......

                        My N.A.C Website forum address is Native American Community - Home (Can be found in Google, Interent Explorer, Yahoo, MSN, Road Runner and others)

                        My Admin member's Ceremony Indian name is lone4eagle, his website company name is Peace Winds-Native American Traditions He added me there, I'll tell him to add Derek (Toro) in his site about him and his wife in prayer list.

                            Good to hear from you Derek and I hope things are getting better. Remember, Megos are thicker than blood (okay, that's a tortured reworking of "blood is thicker than water" but you get the idea).
