I learned collector lingo like paint apps, diaper crotch, kitbash, repack, head swap, MOC, ROC, POC, HTS, etc.
Intel is key, do your research before hunting. Look in places that you don't normally look for toys. Discount stores, grocery, drug stores, etc. Hunting with a friend is fun. Hunting with 3 kids is not. If you smell or hear poo, avoid the aisle. Slaughtergate took way longer than I had planned. No I have 3 of each. |

21.) If it looks like a factory error, or a bizarre one-off, it is a repack and you got f#%#$d.
22.) Tiger force makes no sense. But I freakin' love that sh$t. 23.) Sometimes when you type random characters on the tank it forms a small joe icon. 24.) No one knows what happened to Zoltron. 25.) Sgt. Slaughter is impossible to find.

If you find a "rare" item, chances are that it is no longer rare.

-if someone got the only one before you got to it, that person is a scalper
-if you find the only one before everyone else can get it, you are the scalper. |

If you knock over a small child to get the only one, you are a true fan.

FACT: Approximately 50% of the stuff I pass on will become desirable to me at some point down the road. Usually after the perceived value of it has skyrocketed.

1. bright orange a blue really does work as urban assault colors.
2. marvel g.i. joe comics were just as cool as the sunbow toon was corny. 3. i really can have the whole collection of gi joe i used to daydream about... ha i said "used to." 4. other people also made "set ups" and even used the term when they were kids. 5. opportunistic joe lovers who trade at market value to fund their addiction are ok. : )

I learned about muscle memory. 15 years after I stopped buying joes I found out I was able to go through the pegs with as much ease and speed as before.
Those three dextrous fingers have other uses too! |
