Greetings plastic pleasure hoarders.

[hyperjoe]

My name is Joe and I am new on these forums. This site seems really neat and I look forward to all the good times ahead. I basically started collecting Space 1999 vintage Palitoy about a few months ago after sinking into a state of nearing age 40 with a 2 year old and one on the way.

During the day, I work as a school social worker for the cleveland school district. Just crazy but love it.

I need Mysterious Alien and Zantor to complete my vintage collection. I do have the Mattel version complete and the complete new repros with all variations.

Did they make a Lost in Space Mego??

Anyways, I look forward to making new friends, laughing the stress of life off, and finding good deals on this site. Oh, I also need cards for I see this is one of the benefits of having friends.

My best,

Joe

G'Day and welcome Joe. Nice to meet ya!

Space1999 Huh. . .how did you come to have that as your introductory line? Was S1999 that big in the USA?? Good luck on your hunting.

Welcome Joe...have a cup of tea and watch some Doctor Who with us

[hyperjoe]

Seriously. Out of all the space shows of my time. S1999 was the most visually and mentally stimulating out of all of them. I also collect Mid-Century furniture/space age, and for those who have any clue to the several uses of space age modern furniture in these shows it outstanding. I tend to enjoy the emotions contrived as the use of open space and color on white evoke thoughts of purity. I could go on...but you would say that I was absolutely crazy. I also have a crush on Miya (sp?). Ok, picture her change from a blond to a red head and then to a well lubricated firm catchers mitt.

Welcome Joe! Hang around for more Mego and Action Figure knowledge than you could ever imagine!

Hey Joe. . .I still find it hard to believe it is only 9 years since the moon was blown out of our orbit. . . I miss the Moon. . . .

[hyperjoe]

I forgot to mention. I do have the entire 4" Vintage Star Wars figure collection, yes, including Blue Snags.

[Bo8a_Fett]

[hyperjoe]

I do like tea, oh yes. (I sip).

[AUSSIE-Rebooted-AMM]

Joe. . .I know you are new here. . .so I am only going to warn you once. . . before you drink Bo8a Fett/Roger's Tea. . . have a look at his Avatar. . .he never. . .and I MEAN NEVER. . . leaves that spot. . .he calls it his control centre. He made that cup of tea. . .right there where he is in that Avatar.

Did they make a Lost in Space Mego??

No, but I'd bet that somebody out there in "customs land" made them...

[hyperjoe]

perhaps he uses tea as a diversion while he pinches a loaf? He REALLY DOES NOT MOVE FROM THERE.

welcome to the board

Hi Joe welcome to the forum. Space 1999 was indeed a great show. I myself have a great fondness for Eagles. I feel so cheated that 1999 came and went and as of 2008 we still have No moon bases.

If you want I can start you out with a few cards. PM me your mailing info
