Hey now,
Only took me a year and a half to finally get off my duff and send it your way.
Speaking of belated gifts crossing international borders:
Got a surprise package in the mail a few days back. Apparently it showed up earlier than that, but my angry wife hid it from me for a while. You see money is tight at the moment and we are on a self imposed spending freeze. When my wife found a package in the mail and under the custom's declaration she saw "Mega Man" and she assumed I had broken our agreement and purchased myself some Mega Man memorabilia...... So Zagnorch put me in the dog house for a few days and I didn't even know it!
Seriously though, thanks so much. Rich actually picked me up this exact same "derpy Mega Man" doll and presented it to me at RWX last year. I'm now somehow the proud owner of 2 derpy Mega Men! Where are you guys buying these? They are so ridiculous and apparently made in Canada, but I've never seen one for sale anywhere. Thanks for the thoughtful gift and my wife and I have smoothed things out now
I considered PMing you about my little gift, but I wanted it to be as big a surprise as possible. And boy, was it ever... albeit not in the way I'd intended; my apologies for that. BTW you're welcome to crash on the couch at the Zagnorch Ponderosa the next time you experience a little, er, domestic tension...
...that is, until I noticed that you DE-modified the Mega Man figurine and backdrop
.
Also, feel free to pay it forward with my Beakeresque Mega Man plush, if you like.
ANYway, it's been quite a while since my last small score, so I figured I'd get you all caught up. Keeping with my massive TransFormers fever that has yet to break, I picked up a CIB copy of the Ocean C64 game on cassette... as well as several lapel pins to subtly show off my fandom at work:
I also finally pulled the trigger of my Auto-9, and grabbed the plastic-boxed
RoboCop vs. The Terminator for SNES, as well as for Game Gear and a few RoboCop & Terminator tchochkes:
Shown below the Robogun water pistol ("Wet or dry, you're coming with me") are a few more lapel pins & buttons, and a 1/6-scale Auto-9 with working slide and removable magazine. I'll probably have one of my larger TransFormers wielding it in a future toy-scores shoot.
Aaaaand that's it for now. Until next time...
