My name's Dan, I live in Edmonton for the most part, with a smattering of other exotic locales like Calgary and Barrhead thrown in to the mix for good measure. I got my first Joe at the Capilano Mall Woolco in east Edmonton in 1982. Straight-arm Grunt. That would be an excellent name for a band by the way. I wanted Flash and would have settled for Short-Fuze but they weren't there. My brother wanted Scarlett but got Snake-Eyes instead. It was grey outside, either raining or snowing. I don't know why I remember that.
My Steel Brigade code name was Sureshot, after the Easy Co. scout, not the Beastie Boys song, and thusly it is my member name here. I said I wouldn't collect the VvsV Line, and I didn't. I said I wouldn't collect the first comic packs they put out and I stuck to my guns there too. I managed to only buy Grand Slam and the Medi-Viper from the DTC collection. I said I wasn't going to start collecting the 25th collection, but I did. I swear, it's those backing cards. They suckered me in big time.
I look forward to spending a bit of time around here. Thanks for having me.

I also swore not to collect any of the newer joes, therefore no VvV no gijoe vs cobra etc. And I didn't. Same story for 25th...but they had to release replicas of the memorable weather dominator and the mass device in those DVD battlepacks!!!! So you are not the only one! :wink:
Have fun collecting!

(I've avoided 25th and all newer lines thus far...but I may not be able to hold out)

Hope you have fun collecting all over again.
