Jimbob's crossing over the fence wants list.

I was looking at getting a year specific collection going but decided it's more fun to do sub teams instead.

[Thundershot]

Am I the only person who collects "just the ones I like" Action Force wise?, & not bothered about years, series/sub-series & other such nonsense..

[Red Laser]

Lol! I am not that obsessed ed I just have in mind getting the Oktober Guard and finishing off my original 13 Joe line-up also my BAF roster etc etc.

it's very hard to avoid just let it take you jim, i fought tooth and nail not to collect carded figures but i am, i also fought tooth and nail not to start collecting the 89 joe series but i am, i keep moving the goalposts and it hurts...

I think I should be ok. Anything past 88 is barely recognisable to me. I think by that time I'd discovered crack or women or cider or more likely dungeons & dragons or something.

i went:

"just gonna get Lady Jaye, always wanted her."

then:

"alright, I'll get Destro and the Baroness"

then:

"okay, I'll get an Eel, Snow Serpent, Viper and a BAT because my Cobra army's so small, oh, and I'll get Ripcord, Beach Head, Scarlett, Falcon and Hit&Run cuz I like those characters."

then:

"okay, I'm gonna get a Hydro-Viper and an Undertow and Torpedo cuz I like frogmen and I'll get Snow Job too..."

then it was

"I'm gonna get Super Trooper and especially Steel Brigade cuz I *really* wanted one of them. and Big Ben as he's British"

then I got Stalker v2 because it was one I'd wanted as kid and it was cheap...

then I decided I'd have a punt on a Barbecue and lost, so I decided i now REALLY wanted one, and I wanted Leatherneck, Red Star (since I had Big Bear), Heavy Duty (since I liked him in the movie and had nearly all the other movie Joes), Spearhead and Shockwave cuz I liked the figures and the Sci-Fi.

then I decided I'd like a Lowlight.

Now, I've decided I ought to have a round number, and I want Breaker to round out the movie Joes, so I've decided to get Charbroil and Tunnel Rat to make the squad from "The Lower Depths" with Spearhead & Max and Airtight. That'll make 44. I need to nail down who's going to be #45, but it's not a priority until next year.

i stopped collecting around 1987 same sort of reasons as yourself, my problem is once i start something i obsess about getting it finished, i'm the same at work.

I'm the same. Once I start collecting, I HAVE to have everything. I'm not sure that's normal, but even my DVD collection reflects that. Everything is in series or sets. Sigh.

Im exactly the same - it doesnt bother what year they are from etc I just collect what I like. Usually anything AF and most Joe stuff up to 85 is essential to me but there is a lot of interesting stuff post 85 - some late 80s and 90s stuff is also great for customisation as behind the colours there are some great designs.

I know what you mean. My missus says I've got Aspergers syndrome. She says the nicest things.

[Quickfire]

Yeah the Asperger's thing ... maybe it's why we are all here in the first place. Which is a good thing. According to Ebay, allegedly.



PS. was an Aspy in the opposite way that is one too.
