I live in Iceland, far away from most of you guys geographically but close to you in spirit and mind.
I had an unfortunate incident few weeks back, when my Blowtorch fell to his death from a shelve. His body was then mutilated to no recognition by one of my dogs, reincarnated Cobra canine I told this story here and alot of you guys sent me good wishes and I also posted some pictures of the remains of the body. To my surprise, I was contacted by one fellow tanker, he calls himself Hector Delgado...this guy said he would send me a Blowtorch, I was amazed. I received the box yesterday, and in it was the carded Blowtorch and also two other figures: a carded Mutt & Junkyard and Rock n' Roll from a comic pack. I'm going to do my best to send something back to Hector, I may be able to get him the much coveted The Best of 80's DVD pack...but Iceland has not much to offer in the terms of GI Joe, and they cost also too much, a single figure costs up to $20. Another fellow tanker Gyre-Viper is a friend of mine on Facebook, he has decided to send me a Firefly figure from his collection and also is he hunting for a Cobra Gunship, since we probably won't be getting and vehicles due to the financial crisis my country is in. Those guys and the rest of you, I'm glad that I joined this group, you're all great and this is the greatest site there is Ps: If you have an extra unwanted figure, I'm always willing to accept it, I may not be able to get you a figure instead, but I may be able to something else, I'm a graphic designer and illustrator, and I may be able to do something for you in that field ;) Cheers from Iceland Skallinn / Joe Waage

someone once told me that a collector only looks out for themself,and after reading skallinn's post,i feel that that should prove that is quite the opposite.the people on this site are some of the most down to earth people and are willing to do what ever they can to help each other out,be it trade some of their coveted items or just some friendly advice.i for one am glad i found this site and joined up to meet everyone here,and if there is anything i can do to help out a fellow tanker i'll do my best and hope that they feel the same way.
