Hi all,
I'm Steve, and to be honest my joining had more to do with the fact that my wife and I need to clear the house than my desire to collect.
As a kid I had a lot of the heroes. I'm 40 and I still remember being in the Toys R Us with my mom and coming across the Mego boxes. My mom very carefully opened the box so I could see what they looked like inside. No plastic windows. I got a Superman, Batman and Robin (removable mask and cowl) that day. I played with them for years until I had to tape the logos back on the costumes and the capes were frayed (who knew?).
My collection is mostly gone except for a few things that wound up with me at my house. My mom has some stuff in storage and I keep on hoping that someday I'll find the figures in a box I never noticed before. Oh well.
Anyway, Things that I have that I will always keep will be my Galactica figures from Mattel and my Evel Kenievel (sp?). I have started collecting the re-releases of the Star Trek characters for my kids. My daughter who's 5 and my son who's 2, don't know it yet, but they are going to be TOS fans. My wife is very patient with me

It's good to know you're securing the future of a new generation of Star Trek TOS fans.
