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.

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

This is very sad news. VGA was one of the first people I talked to over here when I joined. His presence will be missed.
My condolences to his friends and family.

I never had any kind of interaction with Brian on the board but it's really heartwarming to see how everyone is reaching out to support his family and friends when they need it the very most... my prayers go out to Brain and to everyone one the board that have been affected by this tragic loss within the community...!!!

I'm really sorry to hear about this. VGA always had an unbridled enthusiasm for toys and his taste was always ahead of the game.

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.
