Title: Hi, I'm King_Maul!
Post by: King_Maul on January 21, 2007, 09:59 PM
This is my first post, and I just wanted to say "Hi" to everyone on this site as a new registered member.  I've been collecting Star Wars action figures since Phantom Menace.  I've expanded beyond figures to vehicles and other stuff during ROTS (probably a mistake wallet wise).  However, this hobby takes me away from the stresses of work and daily life.  I've read that this site is more "adult" oriented which is welcomed by me especially with some of the bickering and useless posting that sometimes goes on in other sites. 

May the Force Be With You, King

Welcome King!  We pride ourselves on the (usually ;)) more mature attitude of our board and will often expect more from our members.  Enjoy!

Hey King! I'm glad that you made it over here. (I'm Gregory over at RS)
I hope that you enjoy yourself on this site, and you'll find that the trading/selling/buying area here is quite nice.

Hey King,

Welcome aboard JediDefender.com...  Take a look around and see what areas you find interesting and just join on in the discussion around here.  We tend to have a bit more relaxed atmosphere...  We have our bickering too but it's much more under control and usually calms down relatively fast. 

If you've got any questions you can ask any of the staff, we're around and available generally, just seek us out...  Good to see another new member that's broadening his SW collecting views...  Too many people stay locked into that one "home" they refuse to leave, and they honestly miss a lot of news and conversation they might actually appreciate a lot more than they're getting elsewhere.

Hey KM,
Welcome to JD.  I'm sure you'll dig the vibe 'round here, as we've got some of the most friendly and knowledgeable collectors on the net roaming our boards.  So kick up your feet, relax, and enjoy!  Holler if you've got any questions or comments on anything.  We're here to serve.  8)

By the way, where in SoCal are you?  I'm up in Santa Clarita, and we've got a pretty good SoCal contingent covering the rest of the Southland as well, and we even have get-togethers every few months if you're interested.  So if you're up for some local trading and schmoozing, stop by the SoCal Finds thread.

Looking forward to chatting with you around the boards...

- Matt

I'm glad you've made it over here too, King. I've seen you knocking around RS and it's nice to know people expand their horizons.

Thanks Matt.  I reside in Monterey Park, and it's really cool that you guys and gals do get togethers once in a while.  Depending on timing, I'd be interested.  I'll check out the SoCal Finds thread.  I'm not sure where exactly it's located, but I'll find it.

Hey Darth_Anton, it's great to see a familiar member on this board.  Cheers, King

Hey there Comm. Apoc - Haha, it's big enough, and I don't want it to get any bigger. ;)  ROTS is when I began collecting multiples of the figures I liked.  Not only that, but I began collecting Unleashed, Titaniums, Vehicles, ML, etc...  It's all good though!

Here ya' go:  SoCal Forum (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?board=54.0)

That board is only visible if you're logged into JD though.  If not, visitors/guests aren't able to view it so we can keep our store finds and whatnot somewhat private from the oft lurking folks...  ;)

Anton (above) is from 'round here too (the Valley).  We're actually talking about having our next meeting in about a month, so feel free to chime in on that SoCal meeting thread if you're interested.

I hope to see you're collection in the collector's topic some day.... personaly I'm a huge fan of clones (not only figs, but unleased, koto and side-show too), so I just only want to collect those. Besides Tie-fighters, jedi-fighters and interceptors, I have a wide collection of Revell-models too.

Apoc, your collection is very cool as with the other collections I've looked at so far.  I like your display cases and all those clones!!!  I took a few quickies (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=14689.0) of my star wars room and posted it up on the collections area.  Most of my stuff is carded, so probably not as interesting and cool as the others I've seen.  Enjoy!

There's nothing wrong with carding you're collection, only I don't have the space for it.... but I would if I could... :P

Thanx for the good words... If you keep up you're carded collection, I keep unpacking mine...especialy the clones ;D... untill I have no more room offcourse.... Ohyeah, check in my collection in a week or 2... I hope to get more, much more than....
