I can't tell you how much better it makes me feel to know that I am NOT actually Kidsnapping cherished pop culture ornaments that were never meant to be given up! With your permission, I can now add them, somewhere, with an eased conscience. I guarantee elicited chuckles, regardless of their eventual placement of honor. Thanks again!

Once I received the prize box, I was thrilled to find that I had enough prizes for everyone. Thinking I had passed out each and every DVD to all of the teams, and that all appetites for glory had been sated, I was very pleased. Realizing the massive over site of your 4th place team, I was very much embarrassed, it was then that I realized that I had brought the figures. They have massive sentimental value to me, yes, but at this point I am trying to pare down in my figurine possessions. They were actually owned by my neighbor originally, a gentleman by the name of Will Files (who now works for Skywalker Ranch of all places). His brother and I moved in together recently, and these were found upon his last trip back to visit his parents. Knowing my delight in NKOTB memorabilia, he brought them back to our place and I was delighted. My actual memorabilia collection is nearly non existent at this time. I still have an 89 tour jean jacket (with satin embroidery) and I believe that's all I really need. I'm tickled to see all of these pictures, with the kids trying to find a new home. It is my full belief that the fates intervened and blessed you with those two figures, I don't usually miss a team, and I brought them on a whim. I'm afraid if you sent them back to me they would only end up as a prize again. Of course the oohs and ahhs they would generate as they were passed out would be lovely, but seeing that you're an avid collector of all types of figures, I think they truly belong to you now. Sticking out like a sore thumb, or a jigsaw puzzle piece from a completely different puzzle, their presence in your collection is lovely to see. I hope they make you chuckle whenever you see them.
