Hi, I have been collecting vintage LPS & some new ones for years & have a huge (though for from complete) collection of MIB, MOC & loose sets & find it a great stress relief.
I found this forum quite awhile ago while looking for like minded people to talk to, trade with & generally share this fun hobby with but didn't join up as I found some of the posts in the G1 section to be quite rude & uncalled for both to each other & outsiders & not the friendly community the rest of the forum seems to be. However, after reading some very nasty & derogatory comments about me I decided to join up so that I could report the posters to the moderators, however, the mods acted before I had to report this so I just want to say thank you for acting to keep this forum the fun, family friendly & child safe community it sound be & not a place for unreasonable, rude & hypocritical vendettas. Though I fail to see why I was singled out to be picked on when I am not the only collector who sells spare sets & the people who picked on me have sold some quite expensive sets themselves (especially when you take into account that I have to pay a fortune to have mine shipped to me on the other side of the world) I think it probably comes down to them not liking being outbid on ebay (which I have to say is the risk everyone takes if you choose to use ebay & has happened to me on numerous occasions without causing me to abuse the winning bidder)

Hi welcome, I think all of those people have decided to leave this forum, and while I mostly collect g2's I do have some g1's and am looking to get some more, and would be happy to chat with you about them ;D hope you'll stick around for awhile

Welcome to the forum! I hope you enjoy your time with us.
I'm a G2 collector, but I do have a few vintage sets. I was recently very happy to find a lamb with corral set on eBay and bought it. Lambs are my favorite of the G2s, and one of my favorite animals in general, so I was so happy to have the only vintage lamb made.
I also have a mother rabbit and babies set, the polar pets with penguins and polar bear with ice mountain thing, and a frog pond set. I don't remember the official names of any of them. I would love to have more, but I spend so much on G2 that I'm trying to not go overboard with the G1. And space is also a big issue.
Welcome again!

Welcome, hun! i really can't wait to see pictures of your collection! i'm sure you have a lot more than the US versions. we'll continue to chat in our section. =]
one more question and not to drag on what went on, but i don't remember us (g1 collectors) ever being rude to each other? the closest i can think of was the "deer" thread, but that was all a misunderstanding. hmmm...
