Okay, now that everyone is doing this introduction thing I decided to shed the light and contribute as well...cos' why the heck not... :D and its always fun to be the newbie/noob of the site :eek:

My name is Tommi aka EasySimpleStuff, and I'm from Finland (yes, its way up north, and freezing in here)

I'm 27 and recently (thank God!) started working as an consultant, since being a security guard with a BBA in International Business and Marketing just didnt ring right...

I first bumped into Joes since 85-86, cant really remember which one was it, but I had bunch of joes then. And like some of you, "stopped" collecting and playing with them when it was not cool anymore (and Hasbro started using neon colors). Also girls, beer and other typical young man stuff started to get into the way of my Joe collecting. :p

Luckily I got (really) back into this hobby a year ago, after seeing Violenfix's and General Joes dios on the internet. Now dont get me wrong, I had been taking care of my joes over the years, fixing/cleaning etc. but never really did more than that.... now I'm again back to collecting.

I' ve been "lurking" in different sites related to Joes, but never really posted anything (as I'm too lazy for that) but decided to make myself noted here, just for you guys to know I'm around...

My hobbies include, besides Joes, Wado-Ryu Karate (almost 15 years), movies, beer (man, I like beer!), women, PS2 (I'm saving for PS3) partying / having fun etc. and occasionally giving self-defence classes (does it count as a hobby if you're getting paid :confused: )...but maybe not in that particular order. Oh, and stakes...I like stakes :D Maybe too much, as I'll probably die of a heart failure or sumthing when I'm 50.

So all in all I look forward of everyones conrtibution, (as there are some awesome stuff here) and maybe I'll even get my lazy behind up and do something myself too...as I'm currently working and playing with and idea of a Cobra safehouse or Dreadnok hideout (dont know which direction to go yet) done into an old doll house frame...

Ensi kertaan
(till next time)

Welcome aboard Tommi, I'm pretty sure you are our first Finnish member!

Welcome to the group, premiere Scandinavia member!!!
and in the intrest of pure enlightenment, a "stake" is a stick in the ground, and a "steak" is pure beefy goodness in which I also love! Welcome to the community
cory

Ah, thanx for clearing that up...I felt there was something wrong in there...just couldnt quite figure it out...but yes, I naturally meant the "pure beefy goodness" .

hmmm...I 'm suddenly getting hungry... :rolleyes:

and its good to be here...

Yay for Europe! :D

Yo 5th, I'm down in Bellingham!

Well guess its my turn, I've been on the site for about a month now :eek:

I go by the online name Haradrel, real name Tommy. From Norway and started collecting "Action Force" as it was called here when I was a kid (which would be in the late 80's early 90's). Sold most of them off when I was growing up. But started collecting the comic books from devils due when they appeared, slowly I got interested in the Joe universe again and just recently (like right after Christmas) I saw the 25th line for the first time and decided it was time to go get some new Action Figures!

I've trained martial arts continually since I was 4, but have had a break now for 2 years, I airsoft and collect loads of weird and unique items.

I also have the same birthday as General Scarlett :eek: (yes that was quite random).
If anybody is wondering about anything else just give me a PM, I don't bite unless you ask me too :p

Welcome to the group dude, I look forward to seeing your stuff! :)
