 This is Ace, the most photographed person that G.I. Joe Collins has done. Okay, so I did change one year. It's not like that. It's like us. You always in costume together. When we're harmed at this parachute drop. 22 years of doing this. So again, it's my fault. I'll let you know that tomorrow is a very important day. It is Becky's 30th anniversary. So don't make it mine too. So happy anniversary here. And before I talk here, we're going to have a few people come up and give very short comments. So somebody wants to hit the top, hit number one. In no particular order. Let's have the most photographed individual of G.I. Joe Collins that's ever been. Mr. Ace Allgood, would you like to come up? The only reason why I had so many photos in this is because I took so many and kept sending them in. It's very self-serving. The only thing I want to say, I want to be very brief. I've had out of the 25 years, I've made all but two. And I've had a great time in each and every one. But what makes each and every convention unique and special is the time that we get in face time together. This is not the internet. This is not eBay. This is where we can all talk and make friends. And I want to say to each and every one of you, three and three quarter ones, for our guys. Thanks for keeping us 12 inch guys around. And we are all in this together. Now the other thing I want to say briefly is, this is not the end of the world. This is the beginning of the next chapter in our lives. That's right. There are other conventions. There are other shows. There's always that evil internet out there. So thank you very much for everybody. And thank you for making my life complete by giving me this great toy show, Brad. And the adventure continues. So, Ace was talking about that he missed a couple of shows along the way. Probably one of the people I want to recognize, I'll talk about my staff when we're in it boys a little bit later. But Heather, stand up, Heather, is the only one that's been to every show that we've done. Besides me. So that's one record. But, you know, at the end of the day, there's only two people left standing. Charles, where are you? Come on up. So Charles and I are the only two people that have been to every licensed G.I. show show there's been. We've been to all of them. So Charles, I'm going to turn it over to you. Hey, thank you very much. But I remember the very first show that I went to that Brian did. I thought it was interest about like five, three and three quarter dealers in the room and everybody else was 12 inch. And, you know, as years went by, you know, about 2008 was kind of 50-50. And then you see how it is today. But one of the things that Brian has done, you know, people realize for 22 years, Brian has kind of kept the convention package pretty much about the same price. And it's always given us a great value for what we've got. I don't know too many companies or folks that could do that. But even when Hasbro wasn't producing product, Brian's still pumping stuff out for us guys. So I think next year you're going to notice it's going to be a little bit different. But, you know, I just kind of keep that in mind. I'm glad that we had these adventures together. I say everybody keep in touch. I know there will be something new just like he said. There will be a new chapter. But, you know, this is kind of the one opportunity to kind of do the big group hug and talk about Joe's, have fun for a few days together. And let's keep doing that, guys. First thing that we were going to call up, that he's already talked a whole lot last night, was Darrell the priest. And so really Darrell said, I don't think I have anything else to say, but we want to thank Darrell again for the induction last night. And I think that says it all right there for Darrell. So thank you again, Darrell, for everything you've done. So Todd, Pleasant, come on down. You're the next contestant. Okay, I'm going to say everything that everybody's already said. So we'll scratch that. I've said this over and over again. It's the people. It's not the plastic, it's the people. You take the plastic home, you display it, sometimes you dust it, whatever. But what you're taking home is memories that you're going to have forever and people that are going to be your friends forever. My first night at my first show, I was doing room-to-room trading and I ran into this dude who's doing room-to-room trading and we see we compared lists, we weren't looking for the same things, so we became friends. We went room to room to room. At the end of the night, we introduced each other. His name was Darrell the priest. Okay. The next day I went to lunch, Darrell introduced me to two of my best friends who I record a podcast with every week and I talk to every day. Available on iTunes. Available on iTunes. And Stitcher. But this is the thing, that was 1999. Okay. And we saw, like I said, we thought we saw was the end of our era. But it kept going and then we met new people, great new people. And it's just, this never ends, people. As long as there's all of us, as long as we care about this stuff, it never ends. It goes on forever. Plastic, not people. All right, I'm trying to alternate between different scale of collectors, not them, but the action figures they collect. James Kavanaugh. You'd like to come on, man. Oh, did you die there? He turned your mic off. That was mean, Todd. That one croaked. One more time for Todd. It also simply said, Jokon isn't a place. I mean, go find where you're at, Jokon. You can't. It moves. It's all in us. I'll tell you the first time I ever met Brian, the year after I did.
