    I've never dealt with vinylglowaddict before but it's so shocking to hear about his passing when he was just posting here a few days ago?? This is a serious wake up call for all of us that life is so disturbingly unpredictable. Cherish all that is around us is all I can say. Rest in peace Brian.

    Wow. I'm shocked. Although I didn't really know him well, the times I did speak with him he was a very cool guy. R.I.P. VGA.

    i CAN'T BELIEVE i AM READING THIS.

    Brian always seemed to be ahaed of the curve. I had some great trade experiences with Brian, including one where we phoned each other excitedly during the day - he was a real sport. I know most of teh toys I traded with him, and now I don't think they will be going anywhere.

    He was too young for this to happen to, and this is too sad.

    Wherever you are Brian - my thoughts are with you and your family

    my condolences to Brian's friends & family for such a unexpected loss.

    I must say, the community here seems to be so much tighter than some of the others I am part of and it's sad to to have to have just read this unfortunate news.

    this is the worst thing I've ever encountered on a board, I feel extra weird about it because there were signs of something being wrong in our last round of pm's. From the bottom of my heart I will miss you Brian.

    Horrible news.

    It's different when it was someone you had contact with.

    Best to his family and loved ones.
