    You know you've been collecting a long time when....



    You pick up a back issue from 1988 and think "have i ever seen this?"




    Only to find you freaking have an ad in it and basically, you're chasing the same stuff 25 years ago that you are now.....

          Funny stuff!

          I still have some old Toy Shops around that I had advertised in. I'm sure I've since repurchased the same stuff I sold back then, LOL.

                I wish I had know about this mag back in the day. I had no idea where to turn in my search for Megos back then.

                  Awesome, that's a great find, I wish I'd kept copies of my old Toy Shop ads. Man, your Lincoln jones went back a looong way.

                    That's actually kinda neat.
                    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                      I have that issue! Did you write the one about giving your mego penguin spats and an umbrella?

                      Bill and I shared a toy show table about 25 years ago, nice dude.

                          1988. Wow. I was 21. I had outgrown all that Mego & Lego stuff by that time. I was so much older then.... perspective is a real eye opener..... What a neat thing to find.....

                            That was me--Bill got my name right in the index but not the article lol meh. My neighbor was an avid amateur photographer & took the article photos on her patio. I still have the photos & maybe negatives somewhere.

                            I used to drop by his house--amazing hoarde of toys & kits--and buy stuff off him. I regret losing touch.

                              That's cool. I wish I had gotten back into toys then.
