    I love this board - Eternal Con Meetings - and a Thanks to the Doctor!

    Went to my first con today... It was small and there was no Mego stuff there to speak of (other than Doc) but damn did my 7 year old and I have a blast!!
    Snagged the one Mego I saw - a 12 inch Hulk (it's freakin pristine - I am in love) and a ton of other stuff but the best part for me was meeting some names I see on the board....

    Met Doc Mego, batmanmc, megocrazy and spyweb007. SHook hands with members for the first time.. (Other than Vinny0026 who is my pal)

    Wish I had hours to talk about stuff with these guys but running around with the little guy made it impossible - made me realize all the more I have to get to Wheeling next year!!

    A special thanks to Doc for even mentioning it... I would have had no idea it existed. It was a 70 mile drive one way, but I would do it again tomorrow if I could. THANKS DOC!!

    Love this place!! It;s the best thing about the internet.

    Pleasure meeting you Vin. It was a good time.
    It's not a doll it's an action figure.

            NO MEGO!?!?!?! Wow. I decided to go hunting after all (good choice too) and didn't attend.

            Think they will do it again next year?

              Eternal Con 2014 is supposed to be Saturday and Sunday. I am talking to the show organizers about creating a "mego meet" area
              and pricing some hotels close by. There are enough mego fans just in the New York/Jersey area to make an event.

                  Hope you can get this done Doc... Thought the event was good... Had there been megos it would have been Great and they defenitly had the space for accommodation... I know there used to be a hotel adjacent to the Nassau Coliseaum think it's the Hyatt regency. Good luck and keep us updated

                    If this becomes the new MegoMeet I will go. I try not to leave the city...ever but in this case I will make an exception.

                    If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                      it would be great if you can get it done doc - i would be in to go any where in the NYV area
                      also making that event a 2 day event would be much better. I could not make it there but had a friend stop by your shop to pick up some items for me (aka VinMan)
