Hey all,
I haven't been on in, well, quite some time, and thought I'd let you know what I've been up to.
I sold nearly everything. The only G.I. Joe figure I have left is Flint (and maybe a lowly Night Creeper). I did this because I have a graphic design company that takes up a lot of my time and it needed some help getting financed. So, my real American heroes went towards making my American dream a reality :)
The G.I. Joe collection wasn't the only thing I sold, either. I got rid of nearly all my Transformers, (Only Masterpiece Optimus Prime and Megatron remain.) and almost everything Star Wars related. It turns out I had a lot of stuff! But, like the Joes, those got sold to help me finance my business. A happy accident occurred when I sold all this stuff...My apartment seemed to get bigger! :D
With all that typed, I'm not sure I can claim to "be back," but I'm certainly thinking about it. I was actually looking up a lot of the toys I missed and wondering how cool it'd be to shoot some pics with POC Wave 3 Snake Eyes and Wave 4 Low-Light. If I DO get back into collecting, however, the collection will be substantially smaller. I may actually do this thing where I just collect what I like instead of the "get the whole collection" mentality :D
Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know what I've been up to, and I why I haven't posted in...well...forever. I'll probably be taking a couple shots of Flint in the coming days, but I don't know about much beyond that.
I'll keep checking in and at least try to get more involved in some of the forum conversations. This is a great community of collectors, and I've been missing it.
Have fun!!!
