I remember going to school at the age of 7. I was only collecting star wars and brought 2 or 3 figures to school. A friend of mind saw what I had and said star wars suck and I saw what he was playing with and it was an army figure that I didn't know what it was. The very same day after school, my mom and dad went grocery shopping and yes it was at the infamous HEB where I got all wave 10 from, I finally saw what it was and it was G.I.Joe so I grabbed couple figure which I remember what it was still as the first joes as snow job and snake eyes with timber. Ever since then, I had tons of fun that I was actually begging my older brother, sister, mom, dad and basiclly everyone in the family to get me joes everyday. I remember I had tons of joes by the beginning of summer. As I got older, my mom divorced my dad and we had to move in the middle of night leaving all my joes behind. I remember the maggot was the last thing I brought cuz the next day I moved leaving everything behind. 2 or 3 years later I finally came back to the house where my aunt was living then had threw out all my joes. It was a sad day for me. As I reached to the age of 29, I was buying mocs and misb off ebay till I came across a site on the internet that a 25th anniversary was coing out which excited me. The very 1st day it was released, I scored everything and to this day, I have and still am buying vintage and modern era joes. Will probably contintue to collect G.I.Joe, Thundercats, MOTU, Star Wars, Spawn, Hot Wheels, Battle Beast, Robotech, and many other as it became a hobby for me to collect em moc and misb.
