Hey Guys/Gals
Ok I'm new here obviously. So About me I've been into Joe since it came out, I was 5 at the time, I'll be 29 shortly. My first GI Joe stuff was christmas stuff from my Uncle Bud (rip) I got Hawk with the Mobile Missle System, and a SNAKE armour, this was followed a few months later by my birthday gifts from him, Ace and the Skystriker, and Wild Bill and the Dragonfly, and CopperHead and the Water Moccassin. Thus began something that still has not ended
The first figure I bought with my own money (saved allowance etc) was Mainframe, I originally went for LJ but couldn't find one, so I thought Mainfraimes file card was cool so I got him, he was followed soon by Hawk, but I think I made 35 cents a week if i did my chores, (my family didn't have alot of money) so saving for stuff was a long process. I stayed collecting throughout the 80's and made some sweet trades in 6th grade that like trippled my collection ( I traded what few transformers I had for Joes) (and i never regretted it!!) In 88 I found out there was a comic book and started getting that and filling in the ones I had never know about. I stopped collecting the figs around the first ninja force, and I lost interest and couldn't even find the comic after the early 130's so about the time I went off to college my GI Joe collection and life remained dormant up in my parents attic.
Then somehow/somewhere i heard that they were bringing the comic back out !! Thanx Devils Due !! And it all just spiraled downhill from there !! I've got the Cartoons, alot of the Comics though i still have some large holes in what i am missing. The Find you Fate books (still missing 2) the Novels (still missing 2) and am working on collecting the Action Force comics. I pic up fifgures I don't have and am not a completest, I' d decided a cutoff year for what i would pic up as well as trading/selling off the majority of the vehicles from my childhood in order to focus on what i wanted. I got into reading Fan-Fic and have some poems and a story over at joedebriefed.com you can look me up by author I'm PoetFlint there as well, on I think all other boards I am PoetFlint except YOJoe where i am ranger_jer
I got into customizing about 2 years ago and liked it but is time consuming I basically use the winter months to do my customs, (which i did alot this last winter) I have yet to get pics and put them up, but when i do they will be on JoeCustoms.com I haven't built any dio-stories yet, and might not for some time, but i sure do enjoy reading them and seeing what people think up.
