This is a very random bunch of thoughts based from my collecting of GIJOE: A real American hero figures and vehicles. Contained here are memories, experiences, recent thoughts, completely random thoughts, and other random things on top of that. While one company has made, and makes, our shared interests, we all add into that interest with our own creativity. You, the reader, will find many, many, excellent sites among the links to see what other GIJoe fans are doing, hit them up! For GIJOE stuff that is more random in topic, you'll find it here.

Real life strikes, evolutions, and the ending of a collector?

 Accumulation happens with collecting.  So many good things that I have acquired and had passed through my hands with G.I.Joe.

But after a decade of not getting the H.Q. and life in general going in a direction I thought it would, I trimmed down my collection HARD this past summer. 

Yes, again.  More trimming, but this time, with not much held back.  Things that weren't bringing joy had to go this time.  And even with a small collection there was still A LOT OF STUFF.

The next few pictures are where that all ended up.  The very core, the last of my G.I.Joe collection, my G.I.Joe collection all out on the shelves, save for some books that are not in the pictures.


But wait, there's more!

An impending real life divorce, which was going to happen eventually anyway, was put into motion.

So, this trimmed down G.I.Joe team versus everyone shelf set up will be even smaller the next time I post!
