hello all tankers!
I am posting this to tell all that every year I try to give as much as I can to toys for tots, this year I got laid off from my job in oct. and I am a little short on cash, but I still try to save enough money for the bare necessities (and a joe here and there) but I have halted my joe buying to give as much as I normally spend on joes to give to toys for tots. so I ask that we all take a buck or two to splurge on a kid in need rather than our own wants, (shoot you could even buy a bunch of peg warmers and give hem so it helps us two fold!) . I know that a lot of ppl are in the same boat as I am and dont have a boat load to give, or enough time to do it, so I would like to suggest that if any one wants to give and dont have the time or money I will gladly do it for all tankers!!! so if you like you may give any donations big or small that you want to go to t.f.t.s to me and i will be going shopping on black friday and try and hit any and all sales I can so if you wanna help out please send any and all donations to paypal to [email protected] I have se up this e-mail and paypal acct so that I can use it to buy toys for tots, or if you have the time or money please donate what you can to your local toys for tots bin! thanks to all tankers for all the great trades buys and deals! |

I'll be donating a couple of things. And I encourage all Tankers to do this as well. This year I think we should all do it in the name of the Wal Mart worker who died on Black Friday, Jdimytai Damour.
We all seem to spend a lot of time in stores hunting for things, I don't think it will take that much time to drop something in the box with a note saying it's donated in his name. Let's all make something GOOD come out of this horrible tragedy. |

I was thinking of doing exactly that once the store I work at gets its big drop box for this set up here. I have a bunch of toys in my car's trunk that have been there for a while . A lot of which are Sigma 6, back when I was planning to customize figures with them, but before we got the 25th line.
Better a kid gets to play with them that has nothing rather then sit in my car collecting dust. |

I donate to Toys For Tots every year. For those that don't know, it was started and is an official mission of the Marine Corps Reserve. It is something special to since I was a Marine.
Now with that said, if I found a BAT, a Bazooka Trooper and a Paraviper, I would probably keep them for myself, since I don't have them. How sad is that. I have donated some Jetpack Dukes, some CC's, and a couple Beachheads. Also some footballs, basketballs, and my wife got some Barbies and some little kid stuff. |

I've already tossed in a Snake Eyes w/Timber, Snow Job, and TF Flint (my local TRU has only had revision waves for ever). I try to 'tax' my spending this time of year and donate 20 dollars worth of toys for every 100 or so I spend on myself.

Actually brought one whole peg of joes and one whole peg of hot wheels and one whole pegs of my lil pony and donated them to toys for tots. Always believed in doing this. Last year was bad time for me so I brought little extra this time to make up for last year. Hope all the little children have a good christmas this year.
