Yeah, why did she take all that time/effort to amass EVERYTHING and tyen turn around and liquidate it?
I know she wanted to make a book at some point, but don't know why that fizzled out. I'm sure someone would have helped her accomplish that goal...?

Sad if true, that collection and the book she would have created would have been epic, I would have liked to have it as I'm sure many others would have too. It was mind blowing to watch some of those videos on youtube, I remember when I first found it and tried to watch them in order, it took a few days and I was burnt out at the end, the value of that collection must have been well over the 100 thousand mark!!!

www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-news-rumors/150545-airedevon-encouragement-thread.html I think she sold it all or at least most of it. I filmed those YouTube videos. Her collection was amazing to see. She sold off most of her collection because of a hard drive crash (no back up), and she lost years worth of work she had put into the book. That was a major reason for selling, as well as some health issues, from what I've heard. I haven't talked to her since I filmed at her house, but she is a great person. There is also a collector that has 100,000 1985 Snow Serpent figures; Why are Snow Serpents going for so much $$$? Last edited by Flophouse; 01-02-2016 at 04:42 PM.. |

Oh dear, this is the first I've heard of the hard drive crash. That must have been absolutely devastating. She pretty much lost her lifes work. I feel so bad for her.

I don't know about the largest, but it have the smallest. All I have is 1 of Scoop's microphone and it's bent. I used to have worms antenna as well, but it got sucked up in the vacuum reducing my collection by half.

Okay, yeah. I could totally see the frustration there.
