When I first started collecting, it was difficult for me to build armies. I wanted to but I was a kid working part time. Even when I had the money, we lived in East Bum-F**K Egypt, also known as Albion NY. The nearest Toys R US was 30 miles away in Rochester NY and my Parents hated the city! When I was 16, and had a car and money, It cost so much for the car, I could get there, but had no cash. I tried! I actually suceeded in getting 30 V1 Vipers! But that was the big accomplishment of my collecting back then!

In 2002 I started up again with a Vengance and since then went from 574 figures to 1,800+ I have now. I try to keep Vipers at 1 platoon (30 3 x 10 man squads) and speciality vipers (HEAT, Frag, Techno, SAW) to 10 man squads. Some I have more of, some less. I'd love to have like 300 vipers and platoons of "Specialist" vipers, but as of now, I'm almost out of storage room!
