How WAS your weekend?

When the inspector opened my bag to reveal a bag of loose mego, he said with disgust "what are you some kind of doll collector or something?". His face looked like he had just smelled some sort of bad cheese.

Some peeps just don't get it as it pertains to Mego collecting. That of course is a good thing for people/collectors like us who are more than happy and willing to take such "crap" off of their hands for them. I am sure you would agree. You should have asked him if he or anyone he knows had any of these so called dirty rotten disgusting dolls that needs to be gotten rid of. Mego collecting - Hey! It can be a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

Mine was great - spent it at the Pittsburgh Comicon. The toy shopping this year wasn't great, but I got some good deals on comics. I also helped with a panel and met some cool Star Wars fans while walking around in costume.

Sounds cool. Too bad the toy shopping turned out to be a bomb. Better luck next time.

I spent $100 on extra fabric that I probably won't ever use, got my hands dirty working on my first serious sculpt, finished 3 ANSA outfits...It was quite a productive weekend.

I wouldn't say that you will never use it. I am sure a visionary such as yourself will eventually find a good use for it. Probally even more sooner than later. I just wish I could find the energy to be as productive AND to do the great custom work that you do. Maybe some day I will atleast get close, but never as accurately detailed as the master herself. Have fun with your new customs. I for one cannot wait to see what you turn out next.

It was one of those nice weekends where we toted our kids off to soccer games and were pleasantly surprised with the outcome and their performances on the field.

That sounds like a nice weekend indeed. Glad to hear that things are looking up for you as well as the team. Good luck with your future games. Perhaps this will be the new turning point that you have hoped for.

Awesome weekend. Had a BBQ/birthday party for our younger son. Had date night with my wife later that evening (something we do about twice a months).

I don't know why this outing was so perfect, but it was almost like we were dating again... with out a care or responsibility in the world. Everything was perfect, from the time we stepped out of the house until the time we shut our eyes to go to sleep.

Actually, the Conan sword turned out to be rather special. My GF bought me a good Conan with bad accessories last week for a present. She doesn't know much about the accessories, but his head is in perfect shape with original tunic, and now he has an OG sword. The quest for OG parts is underway, so if anybody reads this and has any conan stuff for trade or sale...

That is one cool gf. I am still trying to "train" my gf to find Mego's when we go out to sales and what not. I do not think that she shares the same enthusiasm as I as it pertains to collecting Mego's. I am not giving up hope though. Last weekend I had found something Megoish for customs that is perfect Mego size. The funny thing about it is my gf told me that she actually had it in her hands at one point and then sat it back down thinking that I would not be interested in it. I have my work cut out for me. It is all good and fun though.

That is a hard weekend to beat. You can never go wrong with BBQ. I am glad to hear that Jr's BD party was a success and that you and your wife enjoyed some quality alone time together. May you have many many more enjoyable days to come.

Thanks. We've been together 16 years and they've gone by way too fast.

You are welcome. That is a great accomplishment for you both. You should be proud as I am sure that you both are. Time does have a tendency to be like that as it pertains to going by way too fast. I have been thinking in terms of who will get all of my Mego's and other collectibles. I have been placing a great deal of my collectibles in the attic so when it is my time to go I can take them all with me on "the way up". However, I always have a plan B just in case. So IF my stuff is still up in the attic after I depart (which neither would be a good sign) then I need to have a "b"eneficiary to take over the wealth hence forth my plan "B".

On a more serious note - May you and your beloved wife continue to cherrish the many great years that you have with one another.

Not bad checked off a few items from the to do list fixed a few things on the Vette, put up some wall shelves and placed my reboxed MEGOs on the shelves and invited a few friends and family over for a BBQ
