I know you guys are gonna have my head for writting what is apparently a Private message on this Fourm AGAIN Sorry But I tried to Send this PM and they said it was to many words.well then I realized it sort of applied to PL as well as Dean I Owe everybody!! lol so here goes OH BTW IF you could forward this to this guy I'd appericate it! BTW I refer in here that I saw His name in that "Invaders Saucer Thread"
Hello Sir,
I found this thread by accident although I've been Purchasing the PL/Aurora Repops for Years now. I owe my renewed Interest in Modeling (Instead of Drinking and Drugs) to YOU! I know you're saying Huh
Well it's like this, IF you are the right Guy? I spoke to a fella at Monogram in 1993/94 Because I'd JUST found the old "Luminator" Monsters at a Discount Place in FLA. for about a Buck a piece! So I was so happy to see these Staples of my Childhood And I had just gotten married and just began to Sober up. So i was happy to have something to do with my hands lol Anyhoo I Actually called Monogram (This was before The Internet) I wanted to find out if you guys were gonna be releasing Any of the other Aurora Kits.well Dean I belive it was you they connected me with, and during a brief Conversation you told me that there was in Fact a "KING KONG" Luminator! But it was a LOT more Scarce than the others.Well I began searching EVERY Toy,Hobby and Discount Joint i could Find! lol Again this was before Ebay! So one Rainy Sunday Afternoon my Senorita and I were having a Coffee When we walked past a Comic Shop in a little Strip Mall in Ft. Lauderdale OMG! There in the Window was the Elusive KONG!! lol I convinced the Guy to open the Door and we ended up shelling out SIXTY BUCKS
For him But It was in that Store that I discovered NOT ONLY that there was other people who Enjoyed these things I'd all but forgotten about But I found out that While I had been out there trying to Alter my Mind Some other guys had started Producing EVEN BETTER Kits of Classic Monsters and Even recent guys like Freddy and Ash (Screamin') Of course I noticed the Prices were a little Steep compared to what the Aurora kits went for in the 70's lol but I was SOLD!!! Then as if it could get any better! Polar Lights began to rerelease the Adam's Family House and so on Till here We are Today Still Sober still Married (With a Third Baby Due In Dec!) and still with a Healthy Hobby That I can Pass on to my Kids And All this I owe YOU DEAN,Just for makin' me go out and track down a King Kong!lol Life is funny huh?
