My love of GI Joe as a child. Also found this site during a random search. That's how I found out the 25th line existed. The rest is very expensive history! :-)

For me it was the early Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Black Hole, Buck Rogers, Star Trek and Micronaut figures, I was spoiled what can I say.
Then in 2005 I moved to America and Married my wife, I got into collecting the new Star Wars figures. As for today I liked the looks of ROC and POC figures and also the Resolute figures, so I started collecting these. But I have always collected something from an early age. |

I had a GREAT childhood and I was briefly collecting wrestling figs (about the time stone cold was the shizzle)...I saw the 2000 collector series beige dragonfly at TRU and I picked it up. The next weekend I went home to visit the folks and dug up Dialtone and Flint to pilot said chopper...the rest was history....always loved Joes and now I could get all the ones I didn't have as a kid
I ended up getting my youngest brother into Joes about that same time...he was into Pokemon at the time (like most kids his age) |

It is great hearing all the stories of how we all began. I was no army builder as a child. My brother and I had only one of each figure. Yet in my late 20's I found myself wanting to build the collection that I always wanted as a child. Now I enjoy army building.

Hammers and Firecrackers.
They destroyed my old toys. I miss them. I am replacing them with updated new toys. I am in over my head and there is no foreseeable end in sight. Please help. |

Talking Daleks back in the 1970's - Had to have an army of them. Ever since, I've wanted 'armies' of everything.

Up until 1988 I collected the toys of my childhood but I didn't army build or even try to be a completest. Then in 1986 I started collecting comic books. It was comic books that started my completest collecting madness. I sold off most of my childhood toys for comics in the late 1980s.
Then in about 1989 the Batman Movie started my toy collecting madness. After that came more DC action figures and the Toy Biz Marvel figures. Then in late 1992 I started collecting Star Trek by Playmates. Then Aliens and Predator. Soon came ToddToys/McFarlane. Then 1995 came and Star Wars took so much of my money. Thanks George Lucas. The toy collecting eventually went full circle and I started buying GI Joe off the shelf from about 1992 until today. Didn't start recollecting the ARAH until about 2001. That's a toy collecting madness that is a lot more out of control than any of my 1990s collecting. It's some of my choices of what to collect during the 1990s and 2000s that I wish I could change. Way too much on Star Wars, Simpsons, Muppets, Spawn. And so much of that stuff is worthless when trying to unload and recoup some funds. Last edited by spiderpumpkin; 09-09-2010 at 09:18 PM.. |
