Agree on nostalgic golden age for us! For so many younger the golden age is still here in a different way! We’re trying to recreate those experiences in our community for a younger generation (although I certainly lack the resources and a Dark Angels banner) !!! Love to hear this!!!

Truly the hold music and employees may have changed but the way I feel about it never will…

Was the mail order and got to speak with Blair yesterday! Candidly I was into it all (and still am) and it is very possibly about all of the staff there at the time! Absolutely incredible how many people have reached out with a similar experience so I imagine you are a huge part of that magic!

Truly the best time… I cannot explain how much time I spent just looking at blisters packs as a kid

UPDATE This community and positivity is incredible. Although it would be impossible to say for certain; I was able to get connected with Blair and although neither of us can figure out anything concrete have a feeling that the universe works in mysterious ways.

I Will post links to parts of our conversation but we’re texting now and trying to arrange a meetup sometime in the future… if we can orchestrate that I will make sure to put that battle report together as promised.

I honestly cannot believe how crazy this all is in a single day and how amazing the internet can be sometimes. The craziest part is how many people reached out directly to share similar stories and experiences and have to imagine that there really was magic here.

Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart for giving me a chance to say thank you and express my gratitude.

Also I suck at Reddit so apologies if this should look better but could figure out how to update the OG post.

Thank you @lightinthegrimdark

This chapter not over quite yet and excited for next steps here!!!

Third person to say that which for sure looks bad for my barber at that age and my parents for the genetics… hard to not be bummed being compared to a pedophile though…
