Our friend Naji ?

[johnboy]

Good to know he is still buying toys so probably sleeping in his own home still - his Matchbox collection was so good that there was nothing much left that was significantly different to buy..........

My thoughts exactly Mick!,

Naji's Matchbox collection was utterly mindblowing and so comprehensive that it is understandible that he had reached that threshold were there was literaly nothing left for him to add to his collection that he did not already have.

Not only was his collection vast but his knowledge of the subject was equally impressive.

Definately a massive loss to the forum.

Yes, a big loss and I hope he is safe too. Perhaps all the things that have been mentioned here (reaching a plateau with the collection, finding new interests, etc) have all played their part and I remember Naji saying his work commitments were very heavy, which could also be a factor. I still like to think he may come back and say hello some time.

I just emailed Naji asking him to drop by the forum so maybe he will drop in one day,

Naji owes us,
the completion of of his Matchbox Girl calendar.

I enjoyed every month a new calendar page.
