Hey ya!

I just found this thread and somehow I think it's the perfect place to introduce myself :).

My name is Markus, I'm 28 years and I'm a GI Joe and Transformers collector almost from the start. I was a little bit too young to be there from the start but from around '86 I was into it. Most of the earlier figures where sold for a longer span so I could catch up anyway. Don't know if I'm the only one or did anyone else also realise that earlier figures were sold for around 4 years, even as newer waves were introduced but the later figures were mostly sold only for one year before they were already discontinued. Anyone know why?

After reading all the introductions I can say I'm proud to be the first one from continental Europe. I'm from Vienna, Austria. The fine and beautiful capital of music. Everybody should visit this city at least once in a lifetime. I suggest you do it on your next vacation.

I'm working in the computer department of a large wholesaler here in Austria.

Favorite Joe: A draw between Flint and Falcon (Well after thinking about it for a few minutes I'm leaning more towards Flint, I like his perfect combination of bad ass attitude and commanding skills)
Favorite Cobra: Serpentor (the Cobra Emperor himself, who else :) )
Favorite Food: Wiener Schnitzel!! (Viennese cutlet) (Don't know how to explain it, basically it's fried veal. It tastes great. You can't describe it. If you're interested have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiener_schnitzel
From what I heard it's international and you can get one almost anywhere in the world.
Favorite Drink: Beer!! (It's perfect to the Schnitzel)
Favorite Game: Mortal Kombat (Yeahh!)
Favorite Music: Techno, House, Hip-Hop
Hobbies (besides GI Joe): My girlfriend ( ;) ), my car (complete with an immense sound system, spoiler, cool headlights) the car sometimes rival with my girlfriend about the number one position ;), hanging around with my friends in various clubs and discos at weekends, girls

Personally speaking I'm an easy going and funny guy. I think you have to be serious the whole day at work, so why be it in your leisure time too?

I'm also a great stand-up comedian, here are two of my momentarily favourites:

Two toothpicks are climbing up a hill. Suddenly they're being overtaken by a hedgehog. Said one toothpick to the other: See, I knew there is a bus going up there. :)

Three boys are playing in the garden, said the first one: My mum is so great she can take a whole roll in her mouth. Said the 2nd: Hah, that's nothing my mum can take half a sandwich in her mouth. Said the last one: Hah, my mum is even better than that. Last night I heard that my father said to my mother: Switch off the TV and take *him* into your mouth. :D
(If this is too offending for anyone I apologise and will, of course, delete it immediately, but I find this joke absolutely hilarious and I think we're mature enough).

So, that's it.
Greetings from Vienna.

This I command!!
 

Tell some more Jokes Mark.. This I command!! haha

Welcome to JoeDios. Btw not to throw you off so much but if your interested in GIJOE outside the USA and appreciate the GIJOES from the continent you should check out this place:
GIJOEUK

And that applies to any of you dudes that like the euro releases and Action Force International Heroes Line. :cool:

I hope you enjoy yourself at JD

Newbie bombards the pictures!
 

Okay I'm done posting pictures for the evening. Time to introduce myself. I've been a long time GI Joe collector (since childhood with the original Joes) and truly enjoyed the "vintage" RAH line. I tried to get into the new 3 3/4" troops but interest faded with the various size inconsistencies. The second "new" version of Scarlett looked like the 1st "new" version's little sister! We'll see if I get back into them with the 25th Anniversary figures.

As far as new dios, most everything is packed up for an eventual move, but I still have a huge bank of pictures to go through.

I've been thinking about favorite characters but it's tricky to narrow them down to at least top fives. I'll work on it.

Fave Joe: Falcon (great attention to detail)
Fave Cobra: Night Vulture (odd colors, but incredible detail)
Fave Joe Jet: Phantom x-19 (slick!)
Fave Cobra Jet: Python Conquest (awesome paint app)
Fave Joe Helo: Tomahawk (just cool)
Fave Cobra Helo: Mamba (awesome rotor blade set up)
Fave Joe Armor: Rolling Thunder (smash 'em up!)
Fave Cobra Armor: HISS (version 1, classic!)
Fave Joe watercraft: Killer Whale (awesome)
Fave Cobra watercraft: Moray Hydrofoil
Overall fave: Defiant Shuttle Complex :eek:

Fave Movies: Akira, V for Vendetta, Aliens (just a start...)

I'm really digging JoeDios! I'm here to stay, folks!

**Based on the posted ages so far in this thread, I'm the geezer!
I'll be 45 this year!**

giTom

Welcome giTom. I just got through looking through your initial batch of photos, and that was some really good stuff. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Welcome GI Tom looks like your mostly a 12 inch Joe collector. After my recent move I came across some 1/6th scale "Joes" stuff mostly 21st Century Toys aside from figures & weapons there are a few humvees and little birds. So if you're interested let me know because they just taking up space right now.

Hello and Welcome Mate!
 

Hi Tom!
Welcome to Joe Dios! I thoroughly encourage you to stay and post as much as you'd like. :D
I would like you to familiarise yourself kindly to some guidance notes by our moderator:
Reminders

This isn't to bust you on the first day. I hope I speak personally for the community well in saying we just prefer that all of us at Joe Dios have segments of posting of around 4-6 photo's in one upload session.
I don't want you to think I or any of us here are unappreciative of effort or your enthusiasm.. as that's not what we want. I'd encourage you to consider narrowing down the upload into short bursts rather than one long 15+ and above shots.

You might wonder why this should matter, I just think if someone has posted one or two before you (especially on TR day) those pictures will undoubtedly get missed by some people. :cool:

One final comment before I finish the post. Your a new first time contributor and poster to the site, so this is merely an oversight on your behalf I can appreciate you probably werent aware. Also these are more courtesy guidance rules than actual strict (dont do this or we'll ban your A$$ rules).

Above all if your unsure about anything please do ask. ;)
