    My beautiful friends have returned after a 30 year vacation!!


    We were planning a trip to my sister's place for tomorrow, but decided on going earlier today. Had a great time visiting and hanging out, but the absolute jewel of the day was finding them - I found my MEGOs, I knew they were there and alive!! I am still reeling from the shock, I am so not kidding. There were more than I remember us having, many more, nearly 3/4 of the entire Super-Heroes line according to this very site! I also found my beloved Apes! My sis and brother-in-law are gonna keep digging around, cause my brother is convinced that his police guys and S.W.A.T. van are there as well! SO exciting to find these guys and gals, I have been just sitting with my mouth hanging open like a doofus, and my bf even started to well-up when we unwrapped some of them! Oh, for some reason, they were all wrapped like mummies in newspaper, mom always was a looney old bird!

    We have been taking photos and filling up the camera's memory to the max. I'll be putting them here very soon!

    Up until today, I thought that these sorts of things only happened to other people. I mean, for reals, I did *NOT* remember them being so bright and is such excellent condition. Heck, many of them look as if they havent even been played with at all, but I know that most of them were, cause I was doin the playing! I shrilled like a bird when I also saw that all of my girls had survived!!

    Awesome story. Wish I could have one of these moments, but I know my mom or myself got rid of them all about 30 years ago.

                    OK! Give me until 6:00 (my time) to finish with dinner and get everyone situated, cool?

                    There is a black work boot that isnt like the Apes or AJ's boots, and it only fuels the fire; now my brother is convinced that the boot goes along with his police guys and that his big van stuffed with cops is in the barn somewhere!

                    (It is 5:14 right now)

                    Here are my dear old friends! Not sure really if they are in "excellent" shape to many of you finer collectors, there are those that have their flaws, but for being played with and loved, they are G-R-E-A-T! There is a crotch or a seam blown out here or there, and poor ol' Cap got the worst of it, I'm afraid. For a brief period during my youth, I was obsessed with chewing on his boots. To make matters worse, my brother and the other guys got a little too into their battle games, poor Cap suffers a dime sized burn to the right shoulder of his suit.

                    Do you love how Robin is delivering a kick to the Riddler's shins??

                    LOOK at my BatGirl and Iron Man, do they look hardly played with at all, or what?!







                    Hope you love them, Apes coming next!

                      It might be a little bit on the Apes, the chimps and the gorillas cant seem to get along together!!

                      Pictures of Apes doing their thing shortly!!

                            I totally understand why a grown man might well up. The sight of all those WGSH is staggering. As Bob Dylan (channeling F. Scott Fitzgerald) sang...
