Great job JUSTIN and Adam! Longtime member of the ARAH group and always appreciate the Admins. VERY interested in organizing another MIDWEST MEETUP as i missed the first one. I have discussed briefly with fellow Joebro Joe Balitz and as a fellow wisconsinite feel Illinois might be a good central place. Would love to discuss with others if interested ???
As an admin of a large facebook toy group, I concur. It can be a beast to manage and I have learned that people think the rules do not apply to them. Then call you out publicly for it. SMH... I thinking about dropping it all the time lol
I quit Facebook 5 years ago after using it daily for over 10 years. Everything just got too damn political with lots of censorship, but I do miss posting and seeing pics of figures. Still, it's not worth my well being.
The GI-Joe Classified collectors groups are the worst. I love the Classified line and everything about it. But the Classified collectors community is unbelievably raw towards one another. I won't share photos of my collection, or share photos of what's currently hanging on store pegs. Regardless of what you post... There's always a few people that go on the attack!
@@adams8338 I've been collecting various scales of figures since 1994, with 1/6 being my primary focus. When the rumors began to spread that a 6inch GI-Joe line was on the horizon.. I couldn't contain my excitement! Preordering, and then receiving the very first 6in GI-Joe figure #00 Snake Eyes, was an unforgettable experience. The box presentation was unbelievable! Joining the Classified Facebook groups...I thought that I would interact and socialize with other collectors that loved GI-Joe during the 80s. Instead, it was nothing but adult men crying about Target employees, and Hasbro's distribution tactics. If anyone were to share a photo of more than 1 Cobra Island Trooper or Viper... They were unbelievably criticized! And this behavior continues as we speak. It's unfortunate that I have to collect privately, with minimal interaction with others in the groups. I found out, that the only way to successfully interact with these individuals... Is to help them attack others.
I have met some great people on Facebook groups. A majority of my collection is from Facebook because the retail stores near me almost never have any classified series. I have bought from justice in the past. I personally don't mind paying a fair markup price within reason
Love the T-shirt. Adam is an awesome dude!
Nice. Joined the group. Had a blast today with ya brother!
Im.not on Facebook anymore but I may start again for groups like this... and a fellow Wisconsinite 🧀

I've noticed this which is why even though I collect Classifieds I steer clear of Classified specific groups.
