Team,
Last week I was bored at work, so I decided to stop at Toys R Us during my lunch break (it's only 5 mins away from where I work). I was looking through the Joes at the front display and I know they also have Joes in the action figure aisles. When I got there, a dude was looking through the figs. He looked hip enough, so I said, "You collect?" He said he did and we got to talking. I asked if he was a member on the 'Tank and he said he was! He gave his name as Drunknmunky and said he posts in the customs forum. We chatted for 20 mins about army building, ROC the movie and other stuff. He was a pretty cool guy. It turns out we both were there for the Doctor figure. No luck on finding him though, but I did grab a Reactor Suit Ripcord and Accelerator Suit Duke, the first of this wave, I've seen! (Florida gets lousy distribution). Anyway, I just wanted to say that it was nice to meet a fellow hobbyist out in the real world. I hope to bump into a few more, so we can play with our Joes! truly, Jacklefttown Last edited by Jacklefttown; 08-24-2009 at 10:54 AM.. Reason: syntax error |

I've occasionally run into some other collectors too, although maybe I'm just anti-social, but I never say a word.
I'm in the Tampa Bay area too, so if you see a guy in the Joe or TF section of a TRU, and he is stand offish or refuses to make eye contact except to size you up, THAT COULD BE ME.

I once ran into Sidney Poitier in the men's room. He told me to call him Mr. Tibbs.
