Exhausted/Recharged

[palitoy]

Here is some of the stuff I came home with, i found it a bit weird and telling of my current mindset.

I only got two action figures, both were gifts. The majority of what I brought home were catalogs and photographs, which i love. Those are vintage Star Trek pajamas and that's a collegeville prototype John Koenig mask, i love it.



The one thing that drove me crazy all weekend but didn't pick up? Richard Benjamin's shirt from "Quark", I'd have never guessed that in a million years.

Next year we are totally swinging by to pick you up in the Vantooth before we hit the meet.

My apologies if I was a bit distracted and wandering off all the time at the flea market... my alternate persona at these things is Billy from the Family Circus meandering the neighbourhood. Glad we did have a chance to chat, relax and hang at Ted's and TRU. Even happier that you scored the Weird Science boxset.

I managed to stash some stuff in Jen's car so that we weren't so Sanford and Son at the border.

No longer will I doubt Brian's Doug Henning-like powers next time he predicts that we would return in triumph to backbaconland with Captain Action and both outfits. I popped into my TRU across the street this morning and mocked it for it's lack of CA and Godzilla.

Really looking forward to next month's Flea market day trip.

Sweet! Speaking of "Vantooth", that reminds me, you didn't pick up that Big Jim camper?

No need to apologize, the wonderland that is the Clarence Flea Market can do that to people. No worries, Brian kept me entertained. "Billy from Family Circus"

Dividing the loot between the two cars was very smart thinking. I know it always gives me a thrill to outsmart Canada Customs.

Yeah, TRUs over here suck. I can't believe all the CA, Godzilla, and other stuff they had over there. It was like a whole different store!

Looking forward to next month!

Dave Mc, John, Art and Rose, Jason and David, Luey, we missed you guys this year and hope you're there in 2013.

Thank You. The 8th Mego Meet is where "The 8" gets broken. I didn't realize so many regulars didn't make it this year.

Really glad to see more plaid stallion stuff up close!
Mini canada mego mego after mego meet -seems like an natural segue

And yes, without a doubt I too would choose Mego Meet over SDCC (or any other) any day.

[VintageMike]

Always good too see you. Loved checking out those images for the book.

From the way you described it, the Meet sounds hectic and exhausting, but very fun and rewarding, so I really should go (although hearing about the lack of air conditioning kinda scares me )

The "mini meet" in Buffalo on Sunday with you guys was fun, I had a great time. Hope you guys made it through Canada Customs ok with a car crammed full of toys!

seeing Collette's collection upstairs was a lot of fun and made up for getting trapped in the elevator. (has the museum always had that?)

Yep! And it seems to trap people quite regularly lately...

[Megospidey]

The look on your face when he announced that was P R I C E L E S S !

[palitoy]

Hey everybody....it's piano time!!

That's what I drive seven hours for.

Happy to see you again Derek!

Hey everybody....it's piano time!!

Good to see you again Brian.

[cjefferys]

Good to hear. And I just remembered that the dollar amount you are allowed to bring back increased recently. That, plus the friendly Customs officer (nice to see you won that crap shoot) probably helped.

[palitoy]

Hope you guys made it through Canada Customs ok with a car crammed full of toys!

Ed and I managed to compact the swag to less than "hoarding levels" and managed to get the friendliest border guard I've ever had.

When I think about it though, I think both of us were in the clear allowance wise.

I'll leave the Hammer Frankenstein shirt in my will for you sir.

Excellent!

[palitoy]

You are my monster hero. How does one make it into your will?
