Sith Lords, Time Lords, Ten Lords A-leaping - Oh Lord! I don't know if this is a good idea Yogi.

Hello everyone, I'm another semi lurker as I've been with this sight for a couple of months but haven't really said a whole lot. I'm the crazy guy who's trying to convince people to try wargaming with Gi Joes but it doesn't appear to be catching on like the wild fire I hoped for :( must be the 40 page manual that explains the game. I'm 21 too, been a fan since I was like 8 or 9 I can't really remember, I like some of the things thats been happening lately the new comic books are okay, I like all the Declassified stuff thats been coming out from DDP its cool to get to know our characters better. I'm a writer/anthropologist/wargamer/scifi geek/gijoe fan and well I'm sure there's some other stuff that I can't think of at the moment. I like what everyone's been doing on this site, I can't wait to get back to my collection and start taking my own pictures to show off my collection. I probably have one thing that none of you have which holds my GI JOEs but you'll have to see what it is when I post the picture, eventually. Oh and I live in BC, Canada and my name's Tao.
Cheers Everyone

Yo Dersham, I'm just o'er the border in Bellingham! :D

new to this site
 

Hello everyone I'm 18 and new to this site just joined the other day. but I have been customizing since I was little, mainly the 12 inch g.i. joe, but I have been working on some new stuff for the sigma 6 line since most of them are 8 inches tall. I someday hope to post a bunch of my creations, I know they may not me as good as some but the are really fun to make! I live in the middle of nowhere so there is plenty of places to get a good photo. Its really cool to see how many fans there are of g.i. joe and I hope to get to know a lot of you.

Welcome my friend. Just DON'T take a sit. Put your hands on work. Bring us your photos, let us enjoy your work. Take a look on our group projects and sign in. If do you will need some help just give us a letter.

well come to mention it I am having a bit of trouble making the cobra logo out of material , so if you or anyone else can give me any ideas, that would be great. :)
Thanks

Yo! Joe

A quick bio
 

Hey there, I just found this thread. I've been posting here for less than a week, alot of you have commented on my photos and THANK YOU for all your input. I'm Shane, I'm 25 from Nova Scotia Canada. I said in the real names thread that I've been "down since day one" to quote John Cena. I'm a big Cobra fan, eventually I want to get the Arashikage clan tattoo, hehe. My favorite Cobra is Storm Shadow (even though he's broken of the brainwashing....for now...) and my favorite Joe is Shipwreck. Quite frankly, I hate Snake Eyes. I plan on doing a dio story when I get the free time. I work for a local dept store running the stockroom, it;s not glamorus but I get to yell at people which is always a bonus. My other hobbies include RPGs such as D&D, Video Games, Poker, Pool, Hockey, Comic books and music. If anyone is bored my MSN addy is in my profile, feel free to add me. Thanks again everyone.

"Me, Too..!" I've been coming here for a few months. I Actually had the nerve to post a few pics. I need a new Camera, but I can't afford one buying all the Joes and whatnot! LOL!

I got into collecting in 1982, bought the first GI Joe comic and traded Star Wars for GIJoe! I kept up with the complete collection until 1989. I was always interested in the Military, and in 1987, joined the US Army and became a Combat Engineer (Larry Hama!?!). I blew stuff up for 3 years and got out in 1990. I was recalled for Desert Storm in 1991, but never got deployed. Just went to Fort Leonardwood, trained and by then the war was over! Went to College when I got back, met my wife, graduated college, had a kid, (was more into Martial Arts in college than Joes) got out of college and tried to get back in the Army. When that didn't happen, I joined the USMC and have been in since 1995. I'm doing tactical data networking (former Army, now a computer Marine.....old....MAINFRAME, is that you??). In 2002, I met a guy at my last unit who collected GI Joes and I saw they had new figures out, so I got back into it. My collection went from 550 in 2002 to over 1,800. (i need a second Garage!) I'm in the seniors bracket, too I'm 38.....anyone older?? And if you think it's hard to do Dio stories in public, imagine doing it on a MArine Corps Base! Not Fun! LOL!

I don't offend easily and I have a bizarre sense of humor. I can take it, but I prefer to dish it out! LOL! Ask Outrider, I'll never quit ragging him for torching that bat! LOL!

The biggest problem with being Military is knowing too much about how the military works and getting too technical and not just enjoying the stories! (You should hear me yell when I watch Black Hawk Down!!)

Anybody got any questions about the Marine Corps, let me know!

Glad to be Aboard! Semper Fi!

I'm with you there, Ender. My Joes number about the same, and between them and the rest of the stuff my wife and I collect, we need a bigger house! Being 38 makes you second oldest, I think; I'm the "fossil" around here as far as I know.
As for the BAT burning, I love a good laugh too man, so bring it on!!! :D :D

Outrider, us fogeys gotta stick together! I see from the other forum that Australia is kinda dry for joes. You need anything, let me know and maybe I can help you out! (ie someone won't ship overseas or is overcharging you for it, send it to me and I'll forward it to you for cost only! Just lookin out for a fellow collector!)
