I got my first Joe(Flash) on my 8th birthday in 1982 and had a fairly large collection as a kid. I stopped collecting in high school and college, and my parents gave away most of my collection (including a Flagg). I started back up in 1997 when I saw the stars and stripes set at a TRU. I have about 50% of the arah figures and a few vehicles. My new sculpt era figure collection is about 95% complete with a few vehicles and no con figures. I have some of the more common foreign figures. I'm only currently collecting the modern era figures. I'm only about 20 figures away from having all of the released modern era figures including con figures, although I only keep some vehicles. I went to my first con in 2009, but have missed the last 2 due to weddings. I should be in New Orleans this year and plan to make it every year that I can. I have also started collecting some modern era test shots. I didn't collect test shots until I hung out with Goggles(Thanks Gary) one night, and after picking up a few I'm hooked. I've been around the boards, but not always as active as I would like, since 2000. I've gotten the privilege of meeting some of those here through the years and looking forward to meeting others. I also want to thank all of those associated with declassified, especially Sam. You have all done so much for the community and it is really appreciated. Even after collecting for 30 years I'm amazed at how much I learn from you guys every time I have a conversation with one of you.
