Yorktownjoe here. Been around for a while but not posting too many pictures these days. I can snap a few here and there, but life is busy with my wife, 2 boys and our 9 month old puppy.

My name is Joe, and I once lived on a road named Yorktown. Very imaginative, I know. But I also like Yorktown for the historical reference to the American Revolution. Those were the days of the very first "real American heroes..."

I remember having a beat up 1:6 scale Joe that mom got at a rummage sale. And I had that bearded SuperJoe in between scale in the 1970's. Bit I would say that I really started back in 1982 with Clutch and V.A.M.P. as my first.
Collected until 1989 or so then took a hiatus for college, etc. Started again with a few of the "Collector's Edition" reissues in the early 2000's.

Found this site in 2005 and have received many photography tips over the years.

I was here once before, under another name....a long time ago.....many moons have changed, I've changed, worlds have changed....my underwear has changed.....

Shane here from Western Canada. I collect a little bit of everything, I have been on a toy/collecting hiatus for the last few months due to some personal issues but slowly getting back into it. I have a YT channel where I did reviews, and unsure if I want to keep going with that or do something different.

Anyways, I got convinced to come back here, and I promise to be on my best behavior this time around

Welcome (back) people!
Ravensreturn, what was Your old user name?

giTom back on joedios! Been far too long since I've been active on the site.
I'm throwing out a challenge to anyone who may be older than me - I'll be 55 this October.
I've been a fan of GI Joe nearly my entire life. I grew up with the big GI Joes and got on board with the ARAH line when I was 19 in 1982. A minor pause after ARAH shut down in 1994, but have been collecting consistently since the 25th line.

Welcome back You 2! GiTom a real veteran!

Shane, this is a really good post dude. Welcome back! It sounds like Rum Powered Reviews has gone sober. :D

A little bit of modesty goes a long way guys. This is how everyone should be talking.

I'm giving this a Big Smile! I don't know shit from dick....but I know some things....and I'm not apposed to any of it.....

Just glad to be back, hit my 3 post cap for the day already for photos but looking forward to getting back into the groove :D

Agreed 100% Glad to have you back Shane.
