How "Social" Is Collecting For You?

Good for you getting rid of the guy posing as a "friend". I to hate it when this happens. I consider myself a pretty nice guy with a great sense of humor. I am all good until someone mistakes my kindness for stupidity then.....Well Mr. McGee you won't like me when I'm angry....

I was thrilled to find others in the community back in the late 90s. I am not a consistent collector (but I am a consistent appreciator) but I do get excited about megos and I love seeing familiar folks on here.

I live in Los Angeles and just met Bryan Sanders in person on Tuesday. I understand Mr. Chatlin has been local for years and we still haven't met either.

I think I would like to make this more social, have kind of a dinner or "Mego night" at someone's house every month or so. On the other hand, I have very close friends that I don't see that often.

In any case, I'm glad you are all here.

For me the social part of collecting is very important.Before I started collecting for my hobbies I was pretty much to myself but once I started going to shows and events I opened up more to others.Half the fun is talking and showing stuff to other people who share your interests.I met one of my best friends through collecting 18 years ago(he pasted 2 years ago and part of my collecting went with him.I'm just starting to recover from it).The collecting community helps its participants stay on top of whats out there.Thats why I like this forum and its members so much.So collecting is very social for me

Mego collecting is social by definition (in my case) because I have to interact with other members alot of the time to add to my lame collection. But in all the time since I joined, I have only managed to acquire 1 complete Mego and that's Spider-Man. The only problem is, I never seem to have enough Mego money. I think I'm in a hobby that's beyond my means. But it's so much fun.

If for some reason I felt the need to stop coming here, I'd probably stop collecting Megos too. The Museum is too big a part of Mego collecting to me. This place is an awesome community. I feel privileged to be a part of it. The Museum offers so much, and it's FREE!

Without the Mego Museum and my fellow Mego collectors, my collection means nothing to me. Without the Mego Museum, they're just old toys I fondly remember having as a child. This wonderful place makes Megos come alive for me because in this place, Mego will never die.

LONG LIVE THE MEGO MUSEUM!

MEGO FOREVER!
