[Groop] Top Posters of 2005 (late again)

[John T]

Oh! Poor Tone! What a can of mulch you have opened! Just wait till Gary 
posts the the upated Groo list (I'm guessing someday in September). Gary is 
the keeper of all things Groo. Just try getting all Maylisian Groos, the 
Mouse Pads or the Comics Code Mini-Comic! You'll need to get a membership 
card! Ah! I already feel sorry of the long suffering girlfriend of Tone.

> Charles,
> There's a Groo TOWEL??! This is the first I have ever heard of
> such a thing. Is it something like a hotel towel, which was brought to
> Sergio for a signing at a comic convention, or something? Other than
> that the Groo items, which I have heard are the rarest before joining
> the Groop, are the Groo/Dragon-backed wool/nylon jacket(s) (do they even
> really exist?) and perhaps the lead miniature set with the dragon or the
> special insert chaser cards for the card collection, although I have
> actually seen the dragon miniature and various insert cards on eBay a
> couple of times.

> Chris (Glorko),
> I think it was obvious I did mean to say, "6-12 MONTH period,"
> but regardless you caught me on a typo error (This time!), so I will not
> do what Groo does best upon you. :)
>
> Gary (and others debating about Groo news),
> Since I have joined the Groop I heard about a "Towel," found out
> about the new statue (which enabled me to pre-order it of course!)
> learned about both the potential Groo vs. Conan comic (keep me/us
> informed) and the re-issue of the Groo Game, got the awesome scoop on an
> eventual Groo movie (!!!), heard some people's ideas for the creation of
> a Groo video game (now that would be just TOO INCREDIBLE... maybe a
> joint release for marketing purposes when the movie comes out??), found
> out that there are women, who seriously appreciate Groo (Janet, please
> post pics of your Chakaal costume while at Motor City... and guys we
> must figure out a way to get her a proper sword), realized Rufferto was
> based off Sergio's real dog... and, and... probably a bunch of other
> things I am forgetting. I think I made my point. Either way it sounds
> like I still have much to learn. :)
>
> Something I did learn recently, apart from the Groop, is the
> second major appearance of Groo is not in StarSlayer #5, but actually in
> StarSlayer #4 as a 2 page poster and the back cover. I already have the
> first major appearance (That being in Destroyer Duck, of course.) and
> have StarSlayer #5, so now thanks to eBay I have StarSlayer #4 as well.
> Actually, now I have two copies of StarSlayer #4. After learning
> about #4 I told my girlfriend about it and she secretly bid on the
> auction I had seen it in to surprise me with it. When I went to bid on
> it myself, I noticed someone won the auction already, so I bid on
> another auction. Before the auction I bid on was up, I actually figured
> out she had bought me out on the original auction. Instead of retracting
> my bid on the second auction... as my girlfriend put it, "Now you can
> have one inside your collection and have the other one for the poster to
> hang on your wall. Gotta love her for that. :)
>
> Maybe by admitting to not previously knowing about StarSlayer #4
> I have demonstrated my ignorance of Groo-knowledge compared to most
> everyone else on the Groop, but I do not mind. I figure this forum
> exists so everyone, who enjoys Groo, can share their pleasure of the
> series.
> Speaking of gaining pleasure of the Groo series, does anyone
> have any of these things they might consider parting with (for a fair
> price of course),
> - Original 1980's T-shirt
> I had/have the original, but I wore it so much when I was younger the
> only thing that is left are the faded front and back images in torn
> pieces, :(
> - Original 1980's Poster
> I of course had it as well, but unfortunately during a move another
> piece of furniture crashed into the frame I had the poster in, which
> caused it to rip and then it got seriously torn afterward.
> - Lead miniature sets 4 and 5
> I have 1, 2, and 3.
> - Any of the 9 special insert cards
> I have the full card collection, but have been trying to track down and
> acquire the extra chaser cards for some time now.
>
> Well... maybe I am asking for too much. I will use the excuse of
> being a Groop newbie as my defense. I really do not expect people on
> this list to really part with such items in their beloved collections,
> but I just have to ask. Although it sounds like Gary is in fact getting
> rid of quite a bit. Either way, I have slowly gathered pretty much
> everything else I think is significant or realistic enough to get from
> the Groo collectible world, but the little kid in me still craves more.
> I still remember the day I bought my first Groo comic... <sigh>.
>
> 'Nuff said. I'm getting teary eyed. :)
