A pleasure to be here!

Greetings everyone!

I've known of this community for quite some time, and yet, I've never summoned the courage to become a part of it until now.

For me, collecting is a physical (and spiritual) expression of the experiences we hold dear. Whether it be the music that tugs at our heart strings, the films that compel us into action, or the comics that allow us to endure through troubling times, every art form incites a reaction. Some reactions lead to disgust or indifference, while others result in favorable views that might develop into a passion. Whatever it is, everyone has a hobby that serves as both a declaration to others and a reminder to oneself of what excites us most.

With that said, I'm very glad to have stumbled upon this place. Although I haven't revealed much in this initial post, I'm hoping that you welcome me into this family of fellow collectors, and I'm thankful for this opportunity to create new friends (each and every one of you if possible)!

Welcome to this little corner of the world. Hoe you enjoy your stay and looking forward to them pics of your collection

Welcome
Nice intro, can't wait to see your pics !

[Life Is Prime]

Thank you vhal_x, Funnnkyyy, and Everlife for your kind words! It warms my heart to see that I made the right decision to join. This will be a most worthwhile experience indeed!

Unfortunately - and I apologize for this - I am unable to share any pictures of my collection at this time. You see, all my items are currently thriving in boxes due to a rather recent move. I ask that you please bear with me in this transition as I settle into my new home. I don't have a time frame to give, just my word that when the moment comes I will update this thread with pictures.

Until then, I don't know where to start! Can I see your collections and comment on them? What forum should I visit next? There is so much to see and do!

No problem at all, have just gone through the whole house-moving process myself a couple of months ago! Absolute nightmare

Yeah, my collection thread is somewhere in here, "The Re-introduction of Vee", and browse everything on the site, I'm sure you'll find sections/threads that you'll really enjoy x

Hey there,

Yeah no worries take your time! I think a lot of us already have a thread up here showing our collections so sit back and have a browse around, we all love to show off our collections. Any help you need just give one of us a yell and I'm sure we can help!

As negative as it sounds, "absolute nightmare" is a perfect summary for all the stress a move entails. From finding a new home, to clearing out the old, there are few life-changing events out there as relocating.

Still, with bad there also comes good. Never in a million years did I think I would part with pieces from my collection, which had just been growing and growing throughout the years. It was painful to let go, and I admit there are regrets. Nonetheless, selling, and even in some cases giving away, was quite liberating. It gave me a new perspective on my hobby with regard to what to purchase and what to not purchase. I still have a number of items I want to get rid of, and I'm sure I will eventually.

No matter the problem, one must always put a positive spin on it. Down-sizing brings about pros and cons, but for me, I get to prioritize on the subjects that truly define me.

I'll get to browsing around right now. Top on the list is finding your collection thread, so wish me luck!

Thank you again for being so kind!

I'll be looking for your collection thread right after I find the one belonging to vhal_x. Who knows what's next from there. I'm still so ecstatic over everything, and am grateful for such generosity shown to me thus far!

It's a pleasure mate, I am only relatively new to this site myself and have had nothing but great things to say about this site and its members. They have all shown me their help and generosity and in turn I'm happy to be of service
