I feel like one existed, but search failures and trolling through some two dozen pages have not turned it up (but give me a heads up if you remember), so I feel like it is past time that one exists explicitly. This community, warts and all, is a great place, and I am ever so grateful circumstances and stars aligned such that I happened upon it. I've met some great people and had some unforgettable experiences, ups and downs. A lot of people have been there for me on much needed occasions, and I appreciate you all. Probably there are a number of people out there deserving of some appreciation. And a little positivity in this place would not go amiss. I wanted to take this opportunity to specifically thank a member of this community who recently really stepped up to do me a solid. It wasn't a life-and-death situation, and was not something that they needed to do, but is something that meant a lot to me. With a small thing they were able to help me check off something that would be all but ignored by 98% of people, but for me has been a hunted grail for years. This small gesture, offered purely out of respect, friendship, and mutual collecting nerddom, meant a great deal - coming especially as it did at a very difficult personal time - and is just the sort of thing that has sustained me in this hobby through it all. So I want to say, Thank You. You rock! Good people like you are truly valued, and having you as member of this community, and counting you among my friends, is probably more important that I could express here. Many thanks, my fellow v-head. I hope that toy karma pays it back 10-fold in your favour, and in addition I'm here for a solid whenever you might need. I know there are many other toy angels out there, selflessly helping each other out, be it with muling, weighstations, hookups, flags on stuff for sale, floating some funds at those difficult times, offering advice or knowledge, or just being there when things go truly askew in this unexpected rollercoaster we call life. In the real world or virtual, it's these connections which sustain and really make up this community, more so than the actual toys which connect us. Thank you, all. Let's keep it going!
Thank you for posting- there are some really beautiful people in here. Been helped outa the blue here as well- I am very thankful for this place and these people. That being said.. we really should get those warts looked at
Thank you for posting beautiful photos of your collections people! It's been a dreary month with lots of rain. Bright colorful toys give me hope that Spring and sunshine are around the corner. Keep posting good stuff! And another BIG Thank You to James for keeping this playground up and running!
Thanks to everyone for keeping this site running for as long as it has been! It’s not only a cool place to talk about toys with other people but it also serves as an encyclopedia of sorts. There’s a ton of stuff I discover about toys alone that I probably could not find anywhere else.
