I'm a long way into a military career and have allowed your tax dollars to move my Joe collection all over the world. I have a now mostly adult son who's about to outgrow his GI Joes and let me re-inherit them (he's 19 for pete's sake! Give up the toys, give them to your dad!) and a daughter in High School, and the single most understanding and tolerant wife on Earth ("but darling, if I buy THAT HISS tank I will have a spare to turn into a TOW Missile modern tank destroyer!"). I write Joe fan fiction (which you can find on my website linked in my profile) and do some customs and pictures. Love the site and hope to make some worthwhile contributions!
Be seeing you!
Dan

Stopped collecting in 1988 when I entered college but resumed the hobby in 2005. Got into taking pictures of my collection beginning in 2007.

Collecting and taking pictures of the Joes is not only a hobby but part of the family activities; they help me bond with my 11-year-old son (himself drawn to G.I.Joe and movie-themed 1:18 stuff) who often acts as my "production assistant" whenever I shoot pics of the Joes outdoors; my wife helps me out--not only with her permission to buy these toys, hehe!--but also with finding useful materials I can use, like microwaveable plastic boxes, display cases, cheaper ziplock bags, etc.; my two daughters, on the other hand, help me tidy up the house after every "Joe and Cobra session". :)

Looking forward to learning more from you guys! :)
