Hi, I just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I am 38 and started collecting as a child in 1982. Ironically, my first figure was Breaker, which I still have, along with everything else from my childhood. I stopped collecting in the late '80s and then put everything in my parent's attic.
I got back to collecting when RoC came out. I never saw the movie, but started collecting the movie figures and then the PoC figures. I told myself I would not pick up the 25th figs, but I quickly broke that promise and started buying the figs I had missed from 2007 - 2009, or so. Then I got into the convention sets and custom figures. I collect everything, but really aim for completeness of the Joes.
I really just discovered Canada Con and the Canadian mythos recently. I think it is great and am getting into it now. Actually, I will be going to the convention in a couple of months.
The aspect of collecting that I really like, is that you always seems to learn more. There are always some sets, figs or something that you never heard about.....that's the great part about the line and collecting. Anyway, cheers, glad to join.
