Hey just wondering if when you guys run in to other collectors are most nice and talkative or are they distant and the minute you ask are they a joe collector do they make very little conversation and are gone like the wind
so i ran into a joe collector today and was my first since i started collecting 25th figures and very little was said and i felt like i was bothering him after he left i mean if someone asked me i would probably talk his or her ear off about all things nerdy........just a thought to see what you guys have encountered |

It depends, sometimes its a good meeting and other times its like where the hell did you come from. But the three collectors I have meet at stores were also on here and they have been great in helping to find things that I am looking for as I do the same for them.
There are others who may or may not be collectors who have pissed me off by taking everything even when there is enough for a set for them and me but they dont share. |

I've missed Destro and another guy here by as little as a half-hour on some of my runs, but no actual contact... yet.

Although I'm a pretty social guy, I prefer to be left alone while doing my Joe hunting. I don't know why, it just feels like two guys pissing in the same toilet at the same time.

My trips to Target, Walmart, or Kmart have all been lonely ones. Although I don't linger too long, I've never seen anyone else looking at the Joes when I was in the aisle.

Im pretty open when someone ask me or if i see someone on Joe section hehe, I met 2 Tankers that way in San Diego, also other Joe collectors when the target exclusives! i helped them, i remember when i got my 2 planes and saw a guy after me alittle bit sad, so i went there and told him about ask the target guy with the number, because i saw they have more cases, so he went there and boom he got his 2 planes too..was pretty fun...

sometimes at stores i've ran into fellow geeks and just started talking randomly for awhile and there are times i run into people and its like daggers in the eyes (i suspect that they think oh look scalper just as many of us think that when we see others in the toy aisle. C;mon admit it..i did. :> )
