A Rack Toys Thank You!

[RSS]

I wanted to take this moment to say something important to me.


Just a over two years ago, I received my shipment of Rack Toys, a very proud and scary moment as the printer saddled me with many, many extra copies and I really worried I'd never see the end of them.

So, the sight of 2 pallets of books was joyful aaaand i also had this feeling of dread, mostly because I don't have that many friends or family members.

What happened over the course of the last two years I really couldn't have predicted.

People started buying it and not returning it! Celebrities phoned me, people I'm a fan of, just to tell me they liked it.

Most importantly though, a lot of people reached out to me every week to talk about how it made them happy.

It almost makes me sad to show this next picture:



That's all that's left, without those overs, I'd be out of Rack Toys a long time ago and my fun journey would have ended a lot sooner.

This seems like a good as time as any to say Thank You from the bottom of my heart. The book was a mad dream of mine and it's so incredibly redeeming to know that so many shared the love.

I will be sad to slide that last copy into the mailbox in the coming weeks. When it's gone, I promise to release Rack Toys in a digital form down the line.

There will an announcement on future publications this Summer, I think you may enjoy the subject matter.

Thank you for reading,

Your book proudly rests on the arm of my couch, and a day doesn't go by that I don't pick it up and leaf through it. It's one of my favorites and has been an invaluable tool in tracking down some of those rare Marvel goodies!

I have items in my collection I wouldn't have known even existed if not for your book, so THANK YOU!

I'll be reaching out for a "signed" copy soon Brian. I've wanted this book for a while. Congrats on its success.

Big congrats buddy! Lots of people talk about wanting to write a book, but you actually went out and made it happen, no easy task, I'm sure it took a lot of work and dedication and it shows. I still flip though my proudly signed copy all the time, and really look forward to what you come up with next!

It was a work of love for you. Your work and love of rack toys was obviously shared and appreciated by many hence the success. I love mine and wouldn't sell or trade it for anything. Not a single week goes by that I don't enjoy looking through it.

The heartiest pat on the back! This was a total win. I never doubted it for a second. It's a great book and fills a huge gap, and this proves it.

I'm thinking the same thing, too--procrastinating "me."
