Well well well, I turn my back for a week or so and it just explodes here! In good ways and bad.

Hugely enjoying all the new chatter, well, most of it. Seems more busy in here now that we know we are screwed for new releases any time in the future. I guess every cloud has a silver lining. We may have nothing new, but we seem to be banding together and encouraging each other during this dark time.

There will always be arguments/disagreements/"debates" on here. After all.. this is a forum for a bunch of, supposed, grown ups, talking about kids toys!!! But things normally work out in the end. If not, just agree to disagree, and walk away. Leave the nasty little remarks, it's not worth it. Let the appreciation keep flowing.

Will not go back and quote 20+ pages of inspiring and beautiful pictures, but wow, there has been some amazing examples of our beloved line/scale. Keep it up everyone, truely inspiring.

New people!!! YES, NEW PEOPLE!!! That's really reassuring, there are plenty of us out there that are still passionate about this nonsense, and fantastic to see people joining in even now. Will mirror what someone else has said (can't be bothered going back pages and pages to find out who); If you have been lurking for a while but collect/appreciate marvel 3.75", just join. We are a welcoming bunch, some a bit messed up in their own ways, but a good community worth being involved with. I'm speaking from experience here, I just scanned these threads for a LONG time before taking the plunge, but don't regret it for a second. Met some intersting characters here, and actual real life friends as well! (Disclosure, you are not guarnateed to meet real life friends here. Be careful of people on the internet)

My lack of contribution/posing here recently has been a combination of factors;

Still trying to get to grips with a new job

Lots of "social" obligations

Recovering from said social obligations

A general lack of interest.

The latter I think comes from the fact that it took me about 9 months from start to finish to create my perfect man cave. Just as I did, we got the news that the line is finito (not in those specific words, but we are all pretty clear it's done for a good long while). I have still been "collecting". Buying, ordering customs, buying, tweaking the display, buying, planning and working on my own customs, buying, etc. It's time more than anything. When I do get a bit of peace an quiet alone, I normally just turn on the PlayStation and chill out in the cave. I have a tonne of customs (including vehicles) part done/planned, a shit load more army builders I purchased a month or so back that need indergrating into the display. I will get round to it.

Will try and keep a bit more on top of this beautiful community in future. Even if it's just to say;
"Welcome new person"
Or
"Cool picture"
Or
"That's great, but why don't you try..."

Anyway, rant over.

Keep it marvel 3.75" team!
