@cringerluvr I can partly relate to this. I lost my dad when I was 15 and am at a point in my life where I’ve been alive longer than I had him. I can’t fathom losing my siblings so my heart goes out to you. He bought me everything bc he knew how much I loved motu as a kid and that is always in the back of my mind. Kind of makes me live in the past where my whole family was here and didn’t have a care In the world.

@brasco That is so true! Just glad to have those memories so I can drift back to those days from time to time.

@cringerluvr Magic is the key word.. Because of your shared love your family is not gone. They were not just toys because you put love into them. Each one a memory. Some just toss them aside as "just toys", but that doesn't have to be the case for all. I must admit a bit jealous of the toy room as I have a handful of figures now.

@pop-inamorata This is why I wanted to start this thread. So people can connect and share their memories..

@thedoctor Connecting with others like this comes with many health benefits.

@pop-inamorata I could use that right about now. I hit a wall and broke. But now just doing stuff for me. I did a reconfiguration of what few toys I have over the weekend. Started working on 2 fan fic’s that are rattling around my brain.

@thedoctor What is inside of the Castle Grayskull box? It is a beautiful box.

@pop-inamorata it was the 30th anniversary of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe DVD box set by Mill Creek. It has the whole Filmation Run, some New Adventures episodes, and all of 200X. Some other items came with it two like Art Cards and A Gold Power Sword. I am missing the original plastic slip cover that came with it as I bought it second hand on a whim.

@thedoctor I love it!

@pop-inamorata It's funny how I came across the set. I had given up hope on finding the 30th set as it was so expensive. I live in a small town and no place to buy anything really. One day I decided I wanted to go to a used video game store in the closest city. It was nice and I decided that I wanted to walk a bit. So I parked a bit away to do this. On the way there was a used media store. I went in looked around nothing.. Then just as I was leaving there it was behind the counter. The clerk just happened to be moving it so it caught my eye.
