Thankfully, it was one that saved my life, as little did I know, I was having a massive heart attack that was taking place in my left artery, an attack that doctors commonly refer to as "the widowmaker" due to it's incredibly silent and lethal tendency to kill it's victim, often without a warning, as it is nearly impossible to spot on an EKG. It absolutely caught me by surprise, as I have never had an issue with cholesterol, am fairly fit, am not overweight, and only just recently turned 36 years old not more than two weeks ago. After what I was told was a precautionary trip to the hospital cath lab, imagine my surprise when the cardiologist told me that I had a complete and total blockage in the artery, and not because I eat garbage like many of us do, but mostly through bad genetics, a diabetic condition that I did not even realize that I had, and a "it can't happen to me," type attitude.



I'm here today only because despite my stubbornness, I wasn't too stubborn to get out of bed and get it checked out. I urge all of you, it doesn't matter how old or young you are, do not ever question or gamble with your health. If you suffer from chest pain, don't be too ashamed to admit that you might be sick, too stubborn to admit that something could be taking place, and if you have a family or people you care about, too selfish to get it looked at. I'm truly lucky and blessed that I am here today, freshly discharged at home, spreading this message to you all. I have gotten the opportunity to converse and debate with some of you, and gotten to know many of you on a more personal level, and I would not wish what happened to me on anyone else, as it was truly one of the most painful and terrifying experiences of my life. I wish all of you the best of health and life, because it's the experiences here, at the retailers, toy shows and comic-cons with others like you that make this hobby just so much damn fun.

Sorry for using this podium as a soapbox to preach heart health, but it was a message that was deeply important to me, and I wanted to share with all of you.

That's not to say that despite my dire condition, I didn't get a couple of nice pick-ups from friends and family sending me well wishes. On the contrary, they knew that flowers was the last thing I wanted...(Not pictured are the two X-wing fighters that I also received, one from the Hot Wheels line, and one from the Titanium line)



That said, the Grim Reaper can suck it. Can't wait until I'm back on my feet again to do some proper hunting. Take care guys...and if you got this far...thanks. Now back to the awesome hauls. Godspeed.

My friend...I know you're going to be just fine. All I'm going to say to you is that you already have my phone number. Call me or txt me if you need anything at any time.

Damn man glad to hear you're okay. I lost my uncle not too long ago to a heart attack. That was a rough one because he was awesome. What really bums me out was the day it happened I got a bunch of 90s Ghost Rider comics in the mail I ordered off of eBay and I was so excited to show him the next time I saw him. Never got the chance though. On a somewhat happier note I found out a few months ago that he left me all his comics. Two really big boxes full of Marvel, a few DC, and Conan comics. Plus a ton of Conan paperback novels in this really nice wooden box he built that unfortunately I'll probably never get around to reading. There's just too damn many of them. He was a huge Conan the Barbarian fan.

[donmeca2020]

well for starters i got a nintendo NES system yesterday in the mail !!
today as i was hooking it up at my folks house so pops and myself can play some super mario, he hands me a old nike box. as i opened it up i was freaked out. i thought i lost these or threw them away !






can't remember for the life of me what were all of the batman differnet colored costumes for... the legends of batman figures are still cool and i like those animated series figures. i don't think they're shelf worthy but you never know.

The yellow was his underwater suit and gold was just because why not. White was his winter suit and the silver one was anti electric shock or something like that

[snake5289]

Wow those bring back some memories. I had so many different Batmen I think each day I used a different toy as the "real" Batman.

I think they all came out under The Dark Knight Collection name. I believe the silver Batman was Lazer suit , it had a backpack with a bat logo dish and it fired a missile.
Yellow was Underwater and came with a semi mini sub

I had almost every one of the Keaton Batman figures, even the 3 TRU deluxe exclusives.

There were so many made. Almost all the same mold with different paint an accessories.

[wolverine2281]

Looks like Power Wing Batman

But Tec Shield was one of my faves

[deathofthelines]

I forgot copper was oscorp tech stealing batman. He was a favorite. I never could keep him on the board so I super glued mine

[donmeca2020]

To to Phantomcrow and Wolverine thanks guys !! i couldnt remember what line of figures all those batman toys were from. i was pretty sure it had something to do with the keaton movies though. looking that that price on the powerwing Batman i wish figures were that price again...

Would you look at that i have all the bigger accessories as well and some more that isn't pictured !! i know with all my old marvel toys the accessories were all missing lol



Does anybody remember the figure that was close to the comic version at that time? i have 2 that are a deep blue and grey coloring with blue a blue cape and another in almost solid blue.... they should both be pictured above.

[kylactus]

I remember playing with my friends with our Keaton batmen, watching Bat Man TAS, when my friend Steven showed up with the animated Bat Man figure... I think it was the first time I recall feeling jealousy. then I got one and made Steven scrape the bat symbol off his figures chest on the side walk (because obviously there can be only one real Bat Man). That same week I accidently shot Steven with a pellet gun and threatened to kill him if he told his dad... I was a dick as a child.

Never thought I would find this. Thanks to in store pickup option. Wtf is up with tru and their "limit 5 per customer" on this? It's usually limit 1 or 2 at the max. Scalpers must be having a field day with these. Hopefully there's enough being made to keep them on the shelf after everything dies down.

[decepticon_mark]

Actually found ML in retail lol. For s $#ts and giggles hit up the 3 Walgreens in my area and came away with 2 of the 3 Hulkbuster wave figures I was missing. Found Valkrie and Iron Man. Question bout IM though, is anyone else's really loose joint wise? And his left hand came right outta the hole, had to mod it to keep it in. Anyway now only one left to get so my "Vision"quest continues lol.

Thank you for sharing your story and message. Turning 40 this year myself and having much of the same attitude and stubbornness you describe, it really spoke to me. My wife stays on me about seeing a doctor when something isn't right and taking care of myself better but admittedly I've blown it off at times. Reading your post really makes me realize that I need to take more action. I sincerely hope you have a very speedy recovery.

Never apologize for giving good health advise. Im in my 30s and I'm striving this year to visit the doctor for more than mandatory drug testing for work. It's been far too long that I've even looked into my well being. Hope you recovery goes quick and your out there posting pics of you hauls.

Just wanted to shoot out to darktoylord for hooking me up with these great xwings to add to the collection THANKS again!

[Trivial Psychic]

To everyone who has been kind enough to send me messages, and to reply here to my recent post...I thank you. I really appreciate the wealth of support that I have received here, and trust me, there is a lot of it going on at home at well. I was fearful that perhaps I was coming off as a bit "white knight crusader" but I'm flattered to hear that some of my words were able to reach a few of you, and for that, I'm truly grateful.

Sadly nothing new to post today in terms of a haul as I'm still mostly bedridden, but I did get to see my 9 month old stand for the first time without anything to grab onto today, so that was a pretty sweet.
