There were 70 active members and another 50+ that chimed in occasionally plus lurkers.

The main reason was the line was new, it was fresh , it was amazing. Everyone was getting in on it. Hadn't seen 3.75" in a non Joe form.in a long time. Also they were cheap and available EVERYWHERE you went. David Vonner poured love by the bucket into the line. 6" was dead and those that collect jump to our scale.

Fast forward 6 years and the line has poor distribution, high prices, shite articulation and there is ZERO love from Hasbro and Dwight Stall. Most have moved n to collect 6" or gotten out altogether. Couple all that with the way things were ran back then and a mass migration to other sites and the a lot of the older threads getting severely cut and deleted and some nuked all together.....

Are we less passionate, I don't think so. Just a lot fewer of us with a lot less to say I guess. We are the ginger kids of the collecting.world that no one wants to play with, especially Hasbro.
