Dear god, what a wonderful update!(!!!) Doesn’t get much better than this, really. You have the compelling storyline, the dramatic composition, the emotions - and most of all, the pics we all love to see 
Gotta say, the more beautiful posts like yours I see, the more happy I am to be part of our small sub-niche of Vending aficionados 
You like these items for all the right reasons. It’s simply lovely to see you finding joy in all those small details I love aswell.
I wouldn’t mind seeing updates to your thread more frequently. But if they continue to be of this quality, I can certainly accept a few months of waiting in between
By the way, this is my favorite pic:
Soo overwhelmingly 90s, it’s almost too much to handle. Haven’t seen this before because I got my CD promos without the actual CD (sadly). So thanks a ton for sharing!!!
