Hello everyone,
I'm new here, but have been lurking for about a month now before I decided to register.
Alittle background into me I suppose would be nice.
I am a 19 year old college student in Michigan. I am currently studying to become a Police Officer.
At a very early age (6 I believe) I became obsessed with dinosaurs. When I turned 14 however I went through a sort of falling out in the collecting hobby. Somehow I managed to get rid of my 150+ Dinosaur collection.
It wasn't only until I saw Jurassic Park again on television that I realized how far gone I have gotten away from my hobby. I started to search for my collection searching boxes, calling friends, looking through my parents house. Only to find they had sold them all in a garage sale. This hurt me dearly, not because I had lost 150+ Dinosaur collectables. But that I had lost my prized possesion, a JP09 Jurassic Park T. Rex (or Big Red as I had always called him).
In my searches to find another one of these rare toys I came across this website. Which led me to buy my first dinosaur figures in five to six years. Three Papos Tyrannosaurus Rex, Spinosaurus, and Allosaurus.
And so here I am, with only three dinosaur figures and still searching for a mint to lightly used JP09 Rex.
After I can finally track down one, I plan to start branching out into more figures.
I hope to get to know many of you, and hopefully be a contributing member of this forum.
Thanks alot,
Sarge
