Yup. Hey man I'm gonna be 38 in a month. There are times when I think I should really start thinning out the heard and turn my VERY large collection into a MUCH smaller one.... and then something stops me. I'm not ready yet and I'm still really enjoying collecting. But I do have to trim the fat a little a sell some things off; it's getting to that time. I haven't sold one thing from my personal collection since I started about 3 years ago
I hear ya bud I'm not ready either as every piece I own is cool as **** ,, but sometimes I just feel enough is enough ..... Then I buy another to get over it .
I think as a collector for me a big part of this is the chase !
If I'm not chasing something I want then I go insane where does this end lol
the pieces I've got I will be keeping and may add the odd addition here and there but yes I think the key here Is keep it small but mighty .
Young Guns is the way to go and Lost Boys. Mike check your PM friend!

Billy the Kid, Michael and David have very welcome spots waiting for them in my collection

lol 33 and still going strong
Didn't I read somewhere someone got a David made by Rainman that was a one off and people went ballistic? I was real new to the boards and read it I think in the timeline. I think this Vampire look weathered and bloodies up is something totally different than Rainman's normal clean polished look.
Rainman won't touch david again it was a private commission he did for Aaron ,,,
On another note sean dabbs is doing a David clean and vampire head plus medal unfortunately this has been going on for sometime now though .

Dude, not by far. IDK the exact ratio but from what I gather, it seems like there are easily as many people here in their 30's as there are in their late teens-20's. Hell, there's a good amount of peeps in their 40's & 50's here and of course there's even a hand full in their 60's-70's.
60 /70's ! Really !?!
That's like my grand father collecting , so there some real 1/6 generals on here then .

I could think of 3 people off the top of my head that are 60+ do I wouldn't doubt there's more. I won't announce anyone because IDK who wants to make that public knowledge but I will say OldGrandpa is 78 (only because he recently announced that himself)
I wonder how old they were when they discovered 1/6 ?! Or even what they collected before hand ? Either way 78 impressive .
Joned those old blokes grew up on G.I. joes that were 12 inches and articulated like the 1/6 now. I bet a lot of them were into military kit bashes and they found a hobby in it. Don't know[emoji239][emoji239][emoji239]
Off course my bad I remember the old gi joe action men with the pers eyes and shaved heads ,
Your absolutely right there .
What was with the chicken at the end if the sentence there ??? lol

Lahkota has it right Jonny; Military figs were popular in 12" format way back when and for a long time. That's actually how Hot Toys got their start. They were producing mostly military figs at first and then they started their MMS line.
