I know there's probably a thread wandering around out there like this one, but I'm too darn Lazy to search for it. Besides, there are probably about 4 pages worth of posts by "fly-by-night" members who dropped in once or twice and left, and with the influx of new members, lets reintroduce ourselves!


I'm Frank. I'm old (39as of 22 Jan) I have a wife and two kids. I'm a Marine (active Duty). I'm originally from Western New York, but I now live at the edge of the Mojave Desert. I Like Martial Arts computers (I do networking for the Corps!)and GI Joes (like, duh!!). I have a TON of money invested in my collection (over 1,800 figures and over 700 vehicles/playsets...plus 3 HUGE military bridges! ) but I don't do it for the money or the bragging rights, I do it because I LOVE my Joes like I love my kids. (but if it came down to my kids or the joes, get ready for a windfall guys!)They're my pals from my childhood and I've had some of them since I was 14.

I'm too old to play with my toys and not get picked up by the guys in white labcoats, so this website gives me an alternative outlet. ("Uh, ...I'm not playing....I'm creating artistic works.....what are you gonna do with that straight jacket and butterfly net?? Guys? Guys???Noooo...noooooooooo!!!" )

I've been fortunate. I've gotten lots of deals buying stuff, and when I get extra stuff, I don't mind giving it away to people who feel as I do and LOVE their toys! I wish I could find a job selling Joes or Joe like gear (ala Marauder John) but I would never scalp people like some of those vultures on EBay.


If you don't wanna post your real name or where you live, cool.

Ok, nowI went first so....who are you???
