        AcroRay: What are the weekend hours?

        I'm just curious, as I'll be moving to a different shift after the end of April, and I'm gonna try to get weekends off for a while.

        lmk.

              9-4 or 5. They may be changing to some weekday hours, though. Website is: Toy Train Museum Homepage , on the map/schedule page. (Its a bit oddly organized.)

                      Ray I can't wait to check it all out at mego meet. I have an idea that you would like, I saw a post that someone made a transparent super articulated 8in body. You or we could make an 8in time traveler that would be awesome. Just something to think about I will see you at Mego Meet my friend.

                          On Saturday morning, I went back to the toy museum to finish the Micronauts exhibit by placing the vintage and modern Microman pieces in their two cases, and the big center Rocket Tubes & Micropolis display. Here are pics of the finished exhibit, with some additional closeups of cases I posted earlier.




































                          There are detailed cards in the exhibit, explaining things where needed, and everything follows a logical path through the cases. I hope anyone interested can visit it. It'll be up until June 18th. I'll be at MegoMeet and will happily offer a 'tour' of the exhibit and additional commentary for anyone interested!

                          I've also shot some video, and I'll cut that together into something a little later when I've got time.

                            That is so sweet. I cannot wait to see it in person. I may have to track down an Ampzilla. Seeing that catalog shot and the Hulk Explorer is just to cool.

                              Wow, what a great exhibit. Wish I could see it in person. Also makes me want to reaquire Hornetroid.

                                Just a quick update: The Massive Micronauts Exhibit ended this past weekend. I took it down on Saturday, which took me about 5 hours, and returned everything to my home.

                                Thanks to Alan and the gang at the toy museum for inviting me to put it up, scheduling it to be up during MegoMeet 2010, and then asking me to extend it a couple more weeks though the Independence Day holiday.

                                Thanks also to everyone who visited it, including those to traveled specifically to see it.

                                It was an honor to be able to do it, and a real joy to see a significant portion of my collection spread out across such a huge area. The opportunity was really a dream come true for me. I hope everyone who saw it learned some things from it, and was able to appreciate what a huge property Micronauts was... and still is.
