    Same here! Hoping it is in the mailbox today! Surely it can't take a month to cross the US-Canada border, can it?

      I got mine today and I'm really stoked. It's beautiful. Dave Mc's Star Wars stuff looks stunning and makes me want to go to the shops right now and buy them all...if only.

      Great job everyone!

      (Will I will send yours out tomorrow or Wed!)

      And I especially LOVE the Aquaman sticker!

        As I've explained earlier.

        1) I got over 90 orders on April 2nd

        2) Mail didn't start running in Canada until the 4th

        3) It took me well over a week to process the initial orders, it seems anybody order # 50 and below has theirs, 50 and above it's a little slower.

        4) It shouldn't take a month, you're absolutely right, but it can take 2-3 weeks.

        I'm a one man show and I did my best, there was not one day this past month where i didn't visit my post office. Despite some of the emails I've gotten that would suggest otherwise, I'm not taking anyone's dough here. I put my own money into this project and it's in my best interest that it have good word of mouth so I may hope to break even on it.

        Please take my word that they are shipped and I did keep good records so I know anybody who ordered is going to get their books.

          I feel really overwhelmed if I sell 10 of something in one day. I couldn't even imagine 90 in one day (with more coming in after that). It definitely would take time to prepare and organize all that, especially doing it all by oneself, in whatever free time that is available after "real life" (work, family, etc), and it's something that's being done for the community, not a side business or anything, so I'd cut the dude a bit of slack.

            I don't know, Brian (if that is your real name). I think you may have pulled off a master scam. First you start collecting Megos and other toys back in the 80's with the evil-genius-like foresight that this community would evolve. Then you step up to spend hours of your own time to help run the this Museum which just happens to be the most attractive place on the net. Then you further ingratiate yourself into the community by spearheading or coordianting all kinds of fun Mego projects, foremost the drug-like addicting Museum and Plaid Stallion trading cards. Time and time again, you worked to create this facade- years doing nice things for members here, tracking down incredible Mego info and employees, hooking us up with great finds until you had become one of the most trusted people in the Mego collecting world.

            Oh, but this was your final, master stroke. You'd spend thousands of your own dollars on a project that almost didn't even happen, just to pry 10 bucks from each of us. Yeah, I know your still probably going to lose a little money on this deal, but money was never your goal then, was it sir?!?!? You simply wanted us to look foolish as we weep over catalogs lost. Truly, truly evil, my friend.

            Well I guess I can only admire such cruel genius. Well played, sir. Well played.

              That's exactly what I was thinking Bill. He really got me.... I ordered three, and he only sent me.......THREE! in a prompt fashion. The jerk even threw in free cards and stickers. I know damn good and well that he prints his own money, so in my mind he should have paid us to take these. I'm reporting him to a Mod ASAP.

                  Do you still have some catalogues left Brian?

                  It's a shame i wasn't able to get my Doctor Who customs in there.
                  Unfortunately, i just couldn't take the risk of sending them to be photographed.

                    Oh yeah, I've got a pretty decent supply although I am attempting to get listed through diamond.

                    Also want to mention that 99% of people who are waiting are super decent about it. Sadly it just takes that one ugly customer to make your day hap-hap-happy.
