JoeDios.com Forums - View Single Post - *OFFICIAL* Getting to know each other~Now with Words and Pictures!!!

I'm Skot, 25, and I live in NE Ohio in a little town called Geneva. It's about an hour east of Cleveland. I work in Mentor as a Purchasing Agent for a machine and tool company. Oooh, I drive a Honda Element and I love my big, orange toaster!!!

I'm engaged to the most wonderful woman in the universe! My Konstantine, Bonnie Jean.

I had such a crush on her all throughout high school and I never got the guts up to ask her out. 6 years later, I came across her on my friend's MySpace page of all places and it started there! Now, almost 2 years later, we have a house together and we're planning on starting a family. She's very supportive of my hobby and loves that I take such an interest in something that I'm so passionate about. I'm into Joes, obviously, but I also love movies and certain tv shows. Fave movies = Fight Club, The Usual Suspects, Boondock Saints, LotR trilogy, Star Wars movies, Batman Begins, Spiderman 2, X2, The Departed. Fave tv shows = 24, Prison Break, Heroes, House, Bones, The Office, Scrubs, Shark. I also LOVE comics and I collected them HARDCORE for about 12 years. Now, I just pick up graphic novels and trade paperbacks. "Y: The Last Man" and "Fables" are now among my faves! I also love outdoor things, like camping, hiking, canoeing, swimming, cornhole!!, biking, playing catch.

I've been an avid GIJoe collector since I was 5-6. Roadblock v2, Falcon and the Road Toad were my first Joe items. As a kid, I had a huge collection, but unfortunately, they all disappeared as I got older. I never stopped collecting, though. GIJoe, TFs, TMNT, MOTU, Marvel toys, Legends. When GIJoe came back with JvC in 2002, I started all over again and bought everything I saw. I never got the chance to army build as a kid, but I got really into it in the past few years. I built up quite a Cobra army! Ebay was a good friend to me!! I bought many toys I wanted as a kid! I started to explore the web and I found different websites involving Joes. General's Joes REALLY got me back into the hobby hardcore (thanks Justin!!). I sought out different dio sites and became addicted to checking them every day! I even began work on my own 3.75" diostory called "The Thirteen Agenda" and those of you that read it gave me some pretty positive feedback, so I shall continue it this spring.

When I heard about Sigma 6, I was skeptical, but I had an open mind and had collected many various lines over the years. The pics that first surfaced piqued my interest, and months later when I saw Spirit on the shelves, I picked him up and have been hooked ever since. Army building isn't nearly as easy seeing as how there's only 2 figures that can be army built (without customizing or inventing any new characters or factions, i.e. using Shouri Crossbow Storm Shadow as a Nitecreeper, etc.). Plus, at $10 a figure...it gets pricey. I don't mind paying $10-$15 a figure, because they're just packed with lots of awesome and useful gear and weaponry (for the most part). I own all but a couple (which I'll probably never get due to the figures lacking any kind of redeeming qualities in my eyes) and I am nearing the finishing stages of putting out the first episode of my ongoing dio-universe entitled AVALANCHE. I know a lot of the posters that frequent JoeDios are not into S6, but for me, it's just a refreshing and awesome new look at my favorite toyline of all time.

That's it!
