Oh well, another "intro" thread that I was sure I posted
But anyway my bio needs updating, so here's up-to-date "what would you want to know about Ion"
I'm 21 so far, and come from Cracow, Poland (by the way Cracow says hello to Wien

). Quite a long distance from the Joe homeland as you can see
I'm a full time (and I mean FULL now) student of Journalism (3rd year of 5) AND English Philology (1st year of 5

) at the university. Two different to be exact
My Joe collecting began aroun '89 or '90 - don't remember exactly, I was around 3 or 4 yrs old back then. First figure was TF Tripwire which I still own, as well as all of my childhood Joes. Up to 1996 - year when they become unavailable in Poland - I managed to collect around 40 figures and 10 vechicles. And then came a long break.
Around 1999 I finally got a LAN connection and wandering through the depths of the internet - I discovered that G.I.Joe collecting is still alive and I sank into it again - at last having opportunity to get all those childhood dreams sets, that I saw in catalogues
Figuring out that making dios is the best thing you can do with your Joes - I'm here (for some time as you can see), and I'm glad that there's such a great place an community
Besides Joes - I'm a plastic model maker, huge military fan, skier, biker, rock climber, metalhead and I surely omitted a lot
