Hi everyone, I couldn't find a "Say Hello" sticky so I figured I should create a new thread (if I'm wrong about this just let me know). Hopefully this is the right place to post such things!
I'm a Canadian / Brazilian living near the city of São Paulo, Brazil, with my lovely wife (also Canadian) and our two hyperactive children. I used to love collecting Joes while growing up, but was never able to keep up with all the newest stuff, since my parents weren't billionaires and living down here, we had limited access to most of it. I picked up collecting again when I was in Canada for college, but by then (late 90's and early naughts) things had really died down in the Joe world, or so it seemed to me. When I left Canada in '06, I parted with (sold off) my entire collection once again. Now I have a little boy of my own, who serves as a companion to the little awestruck boy that still lives inside me! He's nearly two and a half, and in his father's footsteps, is always begging me to play two shows: "Cats!" (Thundercats) and of course, "Geee Joe!". He has especially enjoyed the Renegades series and says "Snake Eyes" every time our friendly neighborhood ninja pops onto the screen. So I plan to get back into collecting, within my limitations. Looking back over the past few years I'm simply overwhelmed at the amount of figures that have been released every year (especially since 2009) and shocked at the prices those same figures are commanding even shortly after they go out of stock. So I plan to focus "our" collecting efforts on the Renegades line, since at least that will be a somewhat limited starting point (and the figures look fantastic, better sculpting and articulation than the ones I used to collect!). We're also both looking forward to the Thundercats reboot and ensuing toyline, which will undoubtedly burn another hole in my wallet. I've been lurking on the RSS feed for a week or two and thought I'd introduce myself and "officially" join the community. So, hi. :-) |
