...to say HI!

Talk about serendipity! I was searching for info on my fave 80s cartoon characters,
(The really sharp ones among you will have worked out who they are already. ;) ), and came across this place.

It's early days yet, but this could be the start of a beautiful friendship. ^_^

HI!
Welcome aboard. Do you have a lot of Get Along Gang memorabilia? Pictures are good...hint hint

HI there!
Do you have a lot of G.A.G. memorabilia? Post pics :D .

OK, I was told that my last post didn't work because of "flood control" but apparently it DID work.

Yes, I do have quite a bit but unfortunately do not have a camera, yet. It might be possible to scan a few of the flatter items though. :moose

Hi --welcome to the board!!!


say...are you ISO any GAG items??? :moose

I am always on the lookout, but do all my searching on eBay and in local charity shops/fleamarkets. There's not a lot left to get, that I'm aware of.

Here's the state of play so far.

You seem to have a lot of stuff... is that nearly everything that was made? I think the only thing I have is a pink school folder! The picture on the cover is the gang at the soda shop. My mom had bought a bunch of those folders... maybe on clearance... for her own personal use (just to use as file folders)... and I took the pink one for my own use!! I still have it... because I stored a bunch of stuff I wanted to keep in it!

It's difficult to say, there's probably a lot more stuff out there that was made, the problem is finding it. It was once possible to go out, (Note to self; Must do that more often...:)), at least once or twice a week and find something somewhere. Unfortunately, the law of diminishing returns and rising travel costs have put paid to that, for the time being.

Since it looks like they'll be making a comeback, quite soon, it seems like a good idea to let them come to me for a change rather than go haring around after something that may or may not be available.

Welcome, welcome, welcome! These are still the early days of the board too, so I'm sure this friendship will grow into something huge. I'm very glad you joined and I am amazed at your G.A.G. collection! :eyepop
