Hey everyone! Just introducing myself as I'll probably be using this site and posting in the forum a lot once I get started on this. I've been out of work on disability for a while because of a serious illness, but while I've been recovering I've had a lot of free time and I've been living in my childhood bedroom back at the parents house. I jumped back into one of my old hobbies, comic books, about a year ago, which got me into 1/6th scale statue and toy collecting, but recently my eye for toys has started to focus on something a little smaller: the little lego guys. The reason I was so excited to get back into comic books was because they were a huge part of my late childhood, like age 11 and 12 or so. Before that though, I went through tons of different phases with toy lines, but Legos were there no matter what I was into. I definitely don't have all of my old legos. My family moved, our house was flooded, I moved out of the house.. over time toys got lost. It happens. Most of my toys I don't miss all that much and it's a comfort just to have one or two of each kind laying around if I want to look at them, but over the past few days I've been looking online at lego figures and I gotta say I really miss those little guys. I decided I need to start a collection. I just think it's really cool that I can get a lego version of so many different things from so many different fictional universes. I decided to buy a good sized handful of guys to form a little base to build my collection on. I don't know if I've done it the best way, but that's why I'm here now. My guys will be coming in the mail over the next couple days. I spent between $8 and $15 bucks on them. I don't know what the best way to buy them is, but those are the prices I saw everywhere I looked. I ended up using eBay for a few, and Amazon for a few. Here's what I ordered: 1. Marvel Super hero Captain America with shield(I've already realized I probably should have ordered the full set this came from because it's only a couple bucks more on eBay and comes with a motorcycle, two aliens, and their hover bikes. Oh well, lesson learned) 2. Star Wars Blue and white 501st legion clone trooper 3. TMNT Donatello 4. Marvel Iron Fist 5. Marvel Wolerine 6. Marvel Deadpool So I'm down about $70 pretty quick but I'm pretty excited to start collecting these guys. I'll probably pick new ones up maybe once a week. I'd like to keep building a good collection over time that represents different awesome things from my life that've been made into legos. I may decide to buy a few sets.. vehicles and buildings, but right now I'm mainly focused on the figures. Anyone got any recommendations? Are there any super rare holy grail-type figures? Every other hobby I've had there's been something like that. Looking forward to hearing from you guys and sharing things here about my Lego endeavors.
