    Thanks for the kind words everyone.

    I also want to thank Brian and Dora for giving me the job. I haven't looked forward to getting to work since I work at Dolphin Quest (swimming with dolphins) in High School.

    Don't worry, my job isn't to design toys, it is to free up time for the creative types (Brian, Josh, Hiro and Joe) so they can make more cool shit for all of us to swoon over.

    The bad news is Brian has asked me to play nice, the good news is my "holier than thou" attitude is now on display in one of the cases at Super7 and I think it will be a big draw.

    Congrats Glenn. They could not have picked a better man for the job. Too bad about the "must play nice" clause. We're going to miss that but hey HMS will just have to work twice as hard and pick up the slack ;)

    Congrats Alex. Put some east coast flava in the S7 mix!! :D

    Congrats to both!

    Must be a great place to work at, friendly staff, create with the best toy brands and sell lots of great toys. Superb.

    Would be interesting to work at Hybrid Design on weekdays and Super 7 on weekends :D

    I'm late to the thread but am happy to read the news. Congratulations! Lookin' forward to saying hello to Banned in person. I needed an excuse to stop avoiding the store anyway. "Saving money" is lame. I wouldn't recommend it. :)

    Stay out of my holdbox.

    Don't propose Ledbetter for S7 Halloween 2008.

    Let me buy any RxH freebies that you don't want.

    Recognize the power of the East coast (right Missy?)

    thanks for the kind words as well. I'd also like to thanks Dora and Brian for this opportunity and the general support of the current super 7 staff. Just like Glenn, I get way stoked on my walk to work every morning.

    what can I say....it rules to work at super 7.

    PS-hey east coasters. ENJOY THE COLD AND SNOW THIS WINTER SUCKERS!

    here is a recent photo of glenn and I.

    I guess that means you're the non-creative person in the camp....hehehe. Just kidding. I'm sure you are creative...in your own way. :D

    Does it look like you encased in carbonite? I'm kidding :D...although the carbonite might be kinda cool.

    Gratz Glenn and Alex. At the place where I work, the newest member of the staff gets the "Newbie Brick". It is an actual brick from the house of one of the principals of the company. They started in his garage when the company they worked for closed offices. Unfortunately, whoever has the brick must bring it to every company function.

    Your hold box is not the one I have my eye on.

    I have been trying to turn Brian towards Ledbetter for years. All I have to show for it is a bunch of MARTIN paintings.

    I've never heard of a RxH freebee

    A big 'high five' to the both of you!!

    It must be great to 'live the dream' - get paid for something you feel so passionately about! Congrats all round.

    Congratulations to both Pogue & Banned...

    Brian is gonna have to put in some space upstairs to fit all the employees!

    Now that you have extra staff in place, there are no excuses not to completely blow everyone away in 2008!!!

    Best wishes to all!

    Sycophantically yours,
    Scott

    Just saw this news, and big congrats all around! Gotta love the guys who make it all the way from Independent League to the Show. Glenn and Alex, I'll look forward to meeting y'all on one of my semiannual migrations through S7.

    Wow!

    Well, that pretty much nails the coffin shut on Secret 7 for me. Hasta la vista!

    Glenn is one of the most juvenile, vindictive persons I have ever "met" online.

    Yes...then I wake up and realize I was just dreaming...lol
    No...I don't work there. I have a regular 10-7 or 9 or 10 or whenever job. I guess it's pretty bad when Karen says "Aren't you here eveyday?" or "Weren't you here yesterday?" when the only time I'm really there is the weekends. There were a couple of times I'd show up on a weekday but that was when I had to move my car cause of stupid 2hour parking rules in the city. So now I made a deal with my brother. He pays for parking (since the company will pay for part of it) and I'll drive to work.

    We'll miss you like we miss venereal diseases after the penicillin kicks in.
