Thanks everybody. The responses I've received have certainly made me feel welcome. I'm seeing some pretty sick Joes on these message boards, I'm also hearing that the new figures are really hard to work with in stories. I need to get my hands on some new figure to see what I can do with them.

PS: My photography skills have improved since making Dios.

I absolutely can't wait for this! I'm there!

If I could hop across the pond just for this I would. Sounds like a great idea.

Cobra: Inner Sanctum was what inspired me to start making dios. More please!

Your dios and sets are legendary. I hope the wait is over. :)

I am a huge fan of your dios. Your sets are amazing. If you start up again, let us all know.

Glad to see you are back, just had another look through all your awesome DIOs and got really inspired by your Airfield setup, might attempt to make one myself later on :)

Man I can't wait to be there.

A good night with friends and a good night to make new friends.

Well, you guys will be happy to know that I spent the better part of last night taking pics of 25th anni figures. I was trying to get a feel for them and do a little study of how they react and throw shadows. I was pretty impressed. Now, I'm not saying that I'm starting back up the Dio machine, but I certainly had a good time last night.

Hey guys, I just want to remind everyone that this is definitely happening. If you're interest, please plan for it and clear your schedule on the 21st. It will be a blast.

We're almost a week away, and I am really stoked for this! Hoping to meet some new collectors who I haven't had the pleasure of being introduced to yet, and looking forward to throwing a few back with some old friends as well.
