      I've been doing that for ages, although I do fear some people have tried to find meaning in me posting a fart interrupting the coronation.

        I may have asked this before but is there a complete archive of the newsletter available?

        I like to revisit past newsletters. I used to keep a PDF archive of each week's entry, but I suddenly became the family medical wrangler and got out of the habit. Tried clicking the link in old emails and while they were still accessible, many of the images were no longer available.

        The newsletter is the highlight of my week (not sure what says about my life, hee, hee!), and I appreciate everyone that contributes to it! Thank you!

          You know, I wonder the same things. I am now forced to pay to keep the Newsletter running due to MailChimp's changing goalposts, but I can't see some older editions. I'd hate to think 10 years of our output are gone.

            That was my secondary intention in archiving them, so that I could return them to the Museum in some form if the hosting service ever flushed them.

            No hurry, but if you find the time to investigate, please let us know what you find!

                So it seems we are finally getting wave of Super Friends X Big Band Theory.

                  I'm not sure it is safe to assume a single figure is a sign of a wave of similar figures from Mego these days. There's a lot of properties that have only seen 1 or 1 or 2 figures. More likely the one figure we saw will be in a wave with other different properties and if it sells well, maybe there will be more, and if not, it'll likely be the only one. That's pretty much the pattern that we have seen since the Target deal ended for everything except Trek and DC.

                    I loved adding the Big Bang Theory to my collection ( when they went on clearance).

                    The Star Trek cosplay became extra crew members.

                    The Renaissance Fair came in handy on adding to the Knights/Robin Hood collection.

                      I'm a little confused. To clarify, Mego is actually making this Sheldon Flash? If so, I don't get it.

                        Well, I think this Sheldon thing is ridiculous, but RC Flash custom? I'm in.

                          Did the original Big Bang figures sell well? I only got a few because they were so heavily discounted and used the bodies for the Diamond Marvel packs.
                          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...

                            To be truthful could not tell if the sold well. When Hastings was shutting down, was when I bought me BBT figures. I went in and they were under $10 each so I bought what was available. Right now, they are all packed away while I begin to redo my storage room/museum and rebuilding every display shelf. I need to get them out of my living room.

                              New newsletter this week has a first look at the Atlas Grim Ghost figure, and it looks awesome! And a second Big Bang DC figure-Leonard as GL. Thanks for doing the newsletter, I look forward to it every Friday.
