I wanted to share this with you fine folks here...
Captain America has always been my favorite superhero hands down. When I was in grade school, my Grandmother would pick me up from school and we'd visit the local 5 and 10 store. One day I saw a Mego Captain America on the shelf and I really, really, really, really, really wanted him. My grandmother said she wasn't going to buy him cause she couldn't afford it. I was heartbroken. The next day when she picked me up from school, she had parked so that I had to get in the drivers side of the car. Once I got in, she told me to look between the seat and the passenger side door. There was Captain America and I was so excited! I couldn't believe that she had gone back and bought him for me. That Cap is long gone but the memory remains and is one of the fondest memories I have of my long passed grandmother.
The reason I'm sharing this is because I purchased a Captain America from Max Delgadillo (mvp24max) and he arrived in the mail yesterday. Just in time for Christmas. When I opened him and held him in my hands for the first time in almost 40 years, the memories came flooding back and for a moment, I was that 7 year old kid.
Thank you Max and Merry Christmas to everyone!
