Toybender’s 1000th Post

by

Today marks a milestone for both the internet and the toy collecting community as a whole, because this is the 1000th post on Toybender. Please join me in a round of self congratulatory applause. I’m also giving myself the cool stamp. If any post deserves it, it’s this one:

Back when I floated the idea of a toy collecting blog to the 451 Press Blogging Overlords way back in October of 2006, I never thought that this place would be as successful as it has been. Sure it’s had it’s downs, but the good times have been really good. I’ve had several articles hit big on social media sites like Digg, Stumble, and I’ve even it a few times on Fark, which is really cool. My greatest achievement though has been the Joes for Tots contest, which I’m planning on bringing back this year, even bigger and better than before. I can’t begin to describe how good it felt when I got pictures of you guys and gals helping kids out.

Speaking of you cats, the existence of Toy Bender has led me to “meeting” a whole lot of people that I’ve glad to have known. I’d make a big list here, but I don’t want to leave anyone out. I’m glad that I’ve had the chance to establish friendships through here that I never would have otherwise had. I also want to thank you if you’ve ever left a comment or sent an email my way. Seriously, when you leave a comment an angel gets it’s wings. So thank you my loyal supporters and legions of unquestioning followers. I believe someone has a word that describes you:

Thanks, Rick.

    Congratulations! Quite a milestone. I’m lucky to be able to blog twice a week myself, so it’ll likely take mine three or four times as loing to hit that number. Don’t let up! :)
