I began a weeks vacation today, and was messing around down in my toyroom, officially called "The Sanctum", just kind of taking it all in, and thinking about all the great toys, comics, and movies still coming out this year. New DC and Marvel Megos! Six Million Dollar Man figures! Not to mention Batman on DVD!
It just made the little kid in me squeal with joy...I would've never thought at age 42 I'd be playing with brand new '66 Batman TV toys...waiting for the FIFTH Spider-Man movie to hit this weekend, not to mention Godzilla in a couple weeks...reading a new Six Million Dollar Man comic...what a great time to be a kid at heart. It makes me feel young.
We are really living in the new Golden Age of nostalgia. I know sometimes we argue with each other over different aspects of collecting, but really, have we ever had so much as we do now? I don't think we have, and I for one am grateful for each and every little bit of joy that comes from collecting, and from being part of this fantastic community. It's great to have such a wonderful place as the Mego Museum to share our love of this stuff.
Here's to a year filled with so many good things it's hard to keep track of them all!
