After my dad died a little over a year ago, I got into collecting toys/games from my childhood. Selling off mtg to buy that stuff.G1 Transformers, and some diaclone
Kenner's The Real Ghostbusters
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1988-1991
Galoob's Star Trek The Next Generation
Video game stuff like NES/SNE/GameBoy
A few random things here and there like a Mask Pirahna, some fast food kid's meal toys, etc. It has kind of gotten nuts. Eventually I'd like it to feel like I'm walking into a toystore, so I'm getting this stuff with their original boxes which makes it a much bigger pain haha. What about you all? Oh ya, and I'd just started a master's program the semester dad died. I'm about to wrap that up this year. And I've got 2 kids now (boy & girl).

Star Wars Legos
VinylTwo girls (5 and 2). Been in private practice now for 4 years, working PT at the VA. Taking a trip to Pinehurst for some good golf in June with medical school buddies across the country. Last year we did Whistling Straits, played the course about 2 months before the Ryder Cup. Pretty neat seeing the pros on it after we played.

Nice. I liked Grand Prix since I'd get to play against and beat pros and even a world Champion. I'll always miss that bit.

Peter, Ray and the ghost accessories. Good memories.
I like it when today's kids choose to play with toys, otherwise everything is online now. __________________

Unrelated, but I can't seem to find a way to delete my account? I'm guessing the owner of the site doesn't check emails anymore...Any idea how to do this?

No idea unfortunately. I know mods can ban you but I don't know if anyone can just delete your entire account. Trying to wipe out your online presence?

Thats impressive 4 degrees. I dropped working for the state public health as scientist. Full time Realtor now. Trying to buy some P9 with some realty checks because I sold all of mine back in the day thinking "some fool just bought my UNL Mox Jet for $550". Guess who's the fool now? Anyways I got 2 little boys now, ones primed for teaching magic.

Been out of magic for over a decade. I mostly collect video games these days. Mostly I focus on games I actually intend to play someday.I also play golf every chance I get. I am terrible overall, but my wedges have been super nice to me lately.

Today, I got in Paolo Parente's original sketch for his version of Grim Lavamancer from the latest reprint, his 1/25 print (final art was digital), and like half of his foil and non-foil proofs. That's a good mail day.
I'm hoping 4-5 weeks from now to post a new video of my Grim Lavamancer collection.

That's awesome! You've inspired me! (To be honest I was gonna do it anyways) I'm going to re ignite my regrowth collection. Now just need to look up all the new versions. Would love to see the lavamancer collection __________________

I've been making an update video every 4 years (on leap day) so I'm due to make one at the end of this month. I just pulled all the cards out this week to do so, so I can probably make that work. Unfortunately, the global collection is no longer complete. The reissues last year made it so that would be really expensive to recomplete because the retro border foils are expensive to acquire in non-english non-jpn languages.
