My son has hooked me back in
Hey guys, I used to post here regularly in the early 2000s, I was a bit of an idiot but I was young. I was a huge collector of TFs but life and beginning a family/financial pressures forced me to set the old hobby aside and part with my collection. My 8 year old son has discovered TFs and he got a few figures for Christmas. I checked out the War For Cybertron series on Netflix and I think it's awesome. Today my son was spending his Christmas money on some new TFs and I couldn't resist picking myself up a Nemesis Prime. Anyway, how's it going?

A few of us are still here, keeping the candle burning. Welcome back!
Re: My son has hooked me back in
Following MOTU more the last year or two than TFs, particularly since the comics for the latter wandered off into irrelevance. I've got versions of most of the TFs I'm bothered about from some good runs with 3P or latterly Hasbro getting around to doing later era characters. Collecting's background wallpaper for the most part -- almost literally, apart from those two franchises I've just got general retro stuff decorating tops of shelves, etc. Mostly things I've re-acquired that I have particularly strong memories of.
Hope everyone's okay in your neck of the woods.

Hey Stu, all is good, I'm a 37 year old married man with 8 year old twin boys and life is great. I was reading back through my old posts and cringing at how obnoxious I was, I thought I knew it all. Hope is good with you old friend.Denyer wrote: ↑Fri Dec 31, 2021 2:18 am Following MOTU more the last year or two than TFs, particularly since the comics for the latter wandered off into irrelevance.

Speak for yourself! I am and always have been cool, witty, clever and intelligent.

I don't think anyone still here is holding any old grudges. The minority of people who haven't let go interpersonal things that happened 20+ years ago are the ones to watch out for going on killing sprees. As the adage goes, living well is the best revenge anyway.
We've got a lot of pets and are fairly settled. Could've done without most of the last couple of years, but I think the same goes for everyone.

Hi Dinobot.

Something similar happened in my life, with the only difference being that my daughter doesn't know anything about TF
I think everyone will agree with me, family comes first, so spending money on a hobby can be welcomed if the financial condition is in order.
Astrology is something magical. I recently found a post about March 5 zodiac sign (by the way, about me) and read so much truth that I was surprised.
