    Micronauts exhibit at the Kruger Street Toy & Train Museum!

    So I went out to the toy museum today to fill 10 cases with Micronauts! A whole room. 5 & a half ours later and I had to leave, with 3 cases to finish next Saturday morning.

    A van packed to overflowing. 4 trips in the elevator... Believe it or not, I actually took too TOO MUCH stuff, and will have to bring a bunch of stuff home. (Too much vintage Microman - if there is such a thing!) It was so weird walking into the bottom floor and NOT seeing MegoMeet there.

    Pictures to follow a bit later tonight or tomorrow. Or I might just make everyone wait 'till I'm done.

      look forward to checking it out. I can pre-reg for Mego Meet while I'm there.

        Do they handle pre-reg at the Museum?

        If you stop by next Saturday morning, I'll be there setting up the last cases and the door will be open. I'll be happy to chat with anyone who stops by while I'm working.

              OMG that is freakin' gorgeous I so wish I could go see that. Thanks for the pics I would love to see some more close up ones when you are done if that wouldn't be too much trouble.

                    The display runs until a couple of weeks after MegoMeet, middle to late June. (Don't have my calendar on hand.)

                    I'll take more pics once I'm done. I shot these quickly before Alan's dad showed me out with a few boxes of stuff that was going back home. He stuck around a while after closing for me to work a bit longer, and for the church service in the basement to wrap and pack.

                          I dunno, I kinda figured they did, since that's where the event is held, but I guess I never really did anything but assume.

                          as for Next Saturday, that's not likely. Due to the nature of my job, I work weekends.

                            For the time being, the museum is only open on weekends. I think as summer rolls in they expand their hours.
