Hello my joe fetish connoisseurs!

My name is Paul, 33, have a 8 year old son and a 7 year old daughter and an amazing wife. We're in Surrey, BC, Canada.

Started collecting the 25th anny line about a month ago. Local niche store has wave 1 - 4 fully stocked, plus wave 1 of the comic packs.... so we've been hording up. Thank god for the small independant toy stores - cause in Canada you can't get any joes at major stores, they simply do not carry them.

I grew up with GI Joe right from the get-go in 82 and stopped in 86. Had pretty much everything - would buy it all with my paper route money ;-) But sadly I no longer have any of it... so I bought my son a Tomahawk and Hiss tank off yojoe forum members so he's set for awhile.

My son and I are huge into Lego - you can see some of our award winning creations (won awards at shows etc) at our website http://qualzone.com/lego5 if you feel like taking a gander. Close-frame photography has been a little hobby of mine for the past few years, and that site shows some of my capabilities.

My son and I are building our own diorama - so we'll post some pics of the creation process - and we can't wait to show some action shots.

I've enjoyed some of the great pictures on this site... amazing framing, lighting and action angles - so I thought I'd join and say hi.

Cheers! ~ Paul.
