I might as well let the cat out of the bag. 

Yes I can probably get more.  I have to go searching.  The cat being that I need Universal Monster items because that´s right....I am opening up my own Universal Monsters cafe!  Everything is ready.  Liquor license? Check.  Lifesized monsters built?  Check.  It is all painted up and it should just take around 1 more month to open up.  Anyone that visits and brings a Universal Monsters item gets a free dinner. 

I do not know how to post pics to the net or else I would show you guys some pics.  I need UM stuff to fill a lovely glass/mirror shelf with.  I would love little big heads, glasses, coloring books etc.  I already have the dollar store set that was released a few years ago so do not bother with those. 

Thanks guys!

that´s right....I am opening up my own Universal Monsters cafe! 

Wow! Too cool! This is exciting news. I commend you on said Cafe. I'm very tempted to drive thousands of miles just to chow down and take in all the monster love. I'm very happy to contribute some items!

Please post pics! And here's how:

* Upload your photos to a hosting site like ImageShack - http://www.imageshack.us/ or Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/

Hi Guys,
I would love to be in on this but am in the UK. Would that be too much of a problem when it comes to shipping?

...  Anyone that visits and brings a Universal Monsters item gets a free dinner. ... 

For UMA members who want to mail items, what is your address?

[Jim Bertges]

Bane and I are working out the logistics of shipping everything. It may work out that all the trade items will come to me and I'll pack them all together to ship to him. He'll send me the figures and I'll take care of getting them out to everyone who has participated. He is out searching for more sets. We'll let everyone know what we have figured out....as soon as we figure it out.

Chris there will be no problem to send a set to England if you want to participate, I'll take care of that.

I'm not in need of these items, but would be happy to donate a few Uni items for the Cafe.

Hey Jim!
Many thanks, I really appreciate this, but  honestly man, I will only participate if it ain't too much of a pain for you!

[Jim Bertges]

It's no problem for me. I have a very good friend who lives in Crook, County Durham and I send packages to England occasionally.

Cheers Jim,
I will get onto finding some nice swapsy items.

[skylar]

Bane, you mentioned Little Big Heads as an example, but are there any specific Universal Monsters items that you're searching for?  Something in particular that you desperately want and just can't find down there?

[BANE]

Thanks so much Skylar, but there is nothing down here.  Old Santo vs. Frankenstein movies and very cheap Halloween Frankenstein pails.   I am originally from Atlanta and went on a buying binge just before I moved here.  Bought some things on the net from CultTvMan and Mjvar.  Let`s see though...

Polar Lights Creature Kit, Frankenstein kit.  I am only missing those.  I have the boxed 3 figure set of the Hasbro dolls so any other ones I would love.  Any thing else is almost fair game.  I have all the Marx glow figures from MJVar.

As for pics go, I hope to have a website open soon. 

Thanks again guys!

[Jim Bertges]

OK, Monster Pals, we have figured out at least a little something about this. Bane has located a few more sets of these figures, but we will have to cut off participation at this point. So if you're listed in this thread as wanting to participate, you're in. For the sake of convenience Bane has asked that all the trade items be sent to me and I will forward them all to him in one or two shipments. He is getting an address in Laredo TX that he can use which will save all of us (except you, Chris) international shipping. He said he'd have that address secured in a couple of weeks. So, now is the time for you to gather up your trade items and put them into the mail to my address (listed below) so I can get them together for shipment to Bane. I will acknowledge receipt of the items by PM when they arrive. I don't plan on opening the packages, I'll just pop them in a box as they are unless it makes the package too bulky. Anyway please include your UMA ID on the outside of your package so I can let you know it has arrived. Send your trade items to---

Please let me know if you have any concerns or questions.

[poseablemonster]

Bane mentioned wanting some little big heads; I'll send some of those for my part.

[chrisnurse]

Many thanks Jim,
I will round up my offerings and post tomorrow!

[Neoplastic]

Hey Jim, just a quick note to let you know my trade package is on its way.  You will notice my UMA name just above the return address on the box.  Thank you Bane and Jim for making this happen!
