Hey there from New Zealand. Just introducing myself. I am Kerry. I have collected Action Figures since I was a child aswell as Avengers Comics and other sci-fi related material. I have a particular fondness for Marvel Comic Characters and I especially like the recent Hasbro Marvel Universe Figures. Since the big earthquake here in NZ I haven't been able to find any in the shops still standing.
So... I came on here to hopefully meet some like-minded friends. Kerry |

Yes it is. And so are the All Blacks who just won the Rugby World Cup and I can tell you it was a much needed lift to boost the morale of country desperately needing something to cheer about. What better way than becoming World Champions at our national sport. Thanks mate ![]() Hi Fortune thanks for the welcome from California. Thank you, hopefully the quakes will stop and we can begin to feel safe again. Not up to much at the moment just checking out the Ark. Thanks for welcome, it's good to be here Thank you I appreciate that and all the welcomes I have received. Hope everyone is well and doing good. |

Kia Ora!
Welcome to the site, I lived in Wellington for a few years so I know how hard it is to find figures normally! I always found that new lines were fairly easy to get hold of, but a few waves in and you might as well give up. It was horrible reading about the earthquake, it makes a big difference when it's in a place you've been to and know people who live there.

Speaking of Rugby, I must dig out my All Blacks Headliners Figures ![]() |

Thanks for the welcome mate. The quakes have really messed things up here. Destroyed the CBD and bringing down those buildings killing hundreds. Kind of depressing really, especially since we still get aftershocks nearly everyday day it's hard to know if another big one is coming. We are sitting on top of three separate and nasty active faults here in Chch.

Yeah, some of the people I still speak to are still working from home - they can only go into the office on a weekly basis on rotation, difficult times indeed. You have my greatest sympathies.
I watched the final with a few Kiwis and a few French people, I have to say I think the French enjoyed it more! ![]() I only go into the shopping areas and malls when I have to for supplies, and I realise like everyone else I take my life in my own hands to do so. I don't go near any buildings if I can help it. My sister was in one of the big hotel buildings down town working when the second big one hit, the stairwells were cracking and breaking away as she was escaping out of it. She saw all the bodies in the streets and buildings crumbling. She has trauma counselling now every week and wont leave her home. |

I think you are right, but I bet the kiwis after the final whistle will enjoy the next 4 years more though

Last time I was in ChCh I popped to Farmers in my lunch break to see if they had any new Transformers, I then went out for a few drinks in the evening. I find it really hard to reconcile those memories with the pictures I've seen in the papers and on the internet. That's really horrible for your Sister, I hope she comes through it eventually.

Yeah, I was happy with NZ winning, would have been a travesty if France had won!

When it happened here it was like a scene from one of those Hollywood apocalyptic films. It has certainly changed our way of living now in Christchurch. The Warehouse and Farmers in Riccarton are fill with the Transformers and Ben 10 figures at the moment. My son collects Transformers Figures, Posters and DVDs. My older son collects Alien and Predator collectibles, |
