      Nicely done, Tom. You got the golden ticket to the toy factyory, and we got to see it through your eyes. I'm glad you didn't go all Veruca Salt and ruin the experience.

        Wow, that was so cool, Tom! I didnt realize the operation was so large. Wonder how come we dont get Figures toys in a place like Toys r Us. Is Mego too much of a niche product?

              Very nice virtual walk through of their operation, TK; you managed to make me feel as though I were actually there with you. These guys have a definite and evident love of the MEGO brand as well as its' numerous followers. Glad they gave you the opportunity to take a peek behind the curtain. And very well-narrated, might I add. It reminds me a bit of WHO North America up in Indy, except they don't actually manufacture or create any WHO related stuff there, they just have a lot of it!
              sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

                Wow what a fantastic experience! You are so lucky to have gotten to see behind the magic! Hopefully this will put to rest a lot of the naysayers that think FTC doesn't care about the quality of it's product or it's customers.

                    Wow Tom, thanks for sharing that! That's just beyond COOL! So what did you get? (my apologies if this was asked, I just read 1st page of replies).
                    "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
                    'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                    Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                    If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                                Amazing! Looks like it was a lot of fun. And my eyes alighted on the Starchy & Hutch photo too...
