Hi everyone!

[rchatlin]

So, so old.

Older, yes, Scott,
but since those days,
we're collectively several hundred pounds lighter,
and I'll take that every day.

That Humdinger was my first, and last, but the road trip with Scott A. was so memorable, as was meeting so many No Cal. members in person.

Mr. Levy, a pleasure to "meet" you. You're a name of legend in the Mego online community. Welcome back.

[CrimsonGhost]

Hi, I was on the first list (although I didn't post much and can't for the life of me remember what name I was using!) Anyway, I'm going through a divorce myself and just want to say welcome back from someone else who is not thrilled with the world right now.

[RobertL]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone...

And Mr. Chatlin, I unfortunately tip the scale backwards on the weight loss part...I've gained a few in the last 5 years..STRESS EATING BE DAMNED!!!!

I'm a bit late to this thread but: Wow, I have heard the Levy list referenced so many times over the years it has become part of the Mego lore. There really is a Levy and here he is in the flesh. How cool is that?

Nice to meet you sir and welcome back.

Since Robert's list was active, I have gone through two longterm live-in girlfriends, three cars, five computers, and three jobs.

That's nothing. I got a sex change, then changed back, then invented a time machine so I could go be my own girlfriend (I dumped myself because I could never agree with me on what toy belonged to which of us).

Er. That was awkward wasn't it? (very clearly this is humor - I'd never date myself - I could do so much better.)

Anyway, 'allo again Mr. Levy. Nice to see you. Is there some Avengers Assemble memo I missed?

Prior to the Yahoo Group there was a listserv that I moderated. I think we started it in 1995 or 1996. Ebay was a baby, flea markets still had Megos to be found, and my collection was a scattered pile of junk.

Aaaah... yes. The listserv. I remember Cjefferys coming on board at the yahoo jump - but I don't think I was around much for that one beyond the Wednesday swaps. Ebay was totally a baby! I remember I got a Mission to Gamma VI for fifty bucks! I even found an rc batman head at a local flea and you could see a spidey every other trip. It's made me a little sad to see nothing over the years. (insert whipper-snapper line here)

[starsky]

say robert, do you still have any megos left?

[sauce]

Wow, this is truly great. As a relative new guy to MM, my second home, I have heard "Levy list" and wondered many times what that was like. I like to imagine it like using PINE or some BBS weirdness I geeked out on long ago....like talking to aliens in space, I used to imagine. Well, anyhow, I wax here....

but really, Robert Levy, hello! Nice to meet ya!

Robert,

It's good to hear from you. The party the night before Humdinger '98 was great.
I will look for a photo.

I really enjoyed the old list - getting e-mails at my job at Time Inc. about Megos.

That list, more than the Museum itself, made me realize that I was not the only
weirdo out there who was buying back his old toys to feel good.

As for old - I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I am 7 years old everyday.
