Hi, I'm new here just registered few days ago, I just wanna tell something you guys about me. I'm from Davao and I collect NBA cards. Last Holy Week a friend (Joel) fr mla texted me.."musta....nagcocollect ka pa ba etc..." then he told me that he switch focus on collecting toys na (I remembered the last time I went to Galleria to trade A lot of my fellow card collectors had switch focus on toys also).... then joel told me that there's an upcoming release of Voltes V....what? where? magkano? I replied, then he directed me to this site.
It's been 3 days now that I've been reading through the threads, looking at the collections...brings back a lot of memories, I remembered my childhood days when I was super crazy about these stuff also, even until now my barkada still tease me that I still played thru hi-school, I was into Transformers, GI Joes, He-man & Super Robots.
I was lucky to have parents who provided me with more than I could ask for, so with toys lalo na when the transformers na-uso remember the folded catalog that came with each transformer di ba me checklist yun at the back? Malapit ko na naubos ng check un sa kapapabili, tapos I would get upset whenever a new catalog comes with a new set kasi I need to get them also so you could say I was a Collector from early on.
Then college came and I outgrew them na, got interested in NBA cards collecting when the hobby grew here, in which I gain a lot of friends from manila and cebu.
I remembered it was a year ago that some of my fellow collectors was looking for my old toys and asked me to look for it, the last time I saw them was in several large tupperware containers colored yellow so I asked my parents they said it was in the bodega together with all of our old stuff, so I went to retrieve them (if you r a hard core collector and love toys...caution masakit to pakinggan) they were put in a large Ref box and deteriorated thru the years covered in dirt, stains, rust.... kasi pinaghalo lahat kasi from RCs, to plastic and battery operated toys also tapos thru time and heat nagmelt na yung iba
It's sad to see all my childhood memories gone 
I managed to salvage a few (hep hep brake muna I sold it to edward na last year coz I was not interested pa then hehehe).
So to cut my long story (pasensya na medyo mahaba & to those who read it all the way thank you for taking time to read) after reflecting about this hobby vs my current hobby... all I can say is "Nakakaingit at buti pa kayu" ang ganda ng hobby nato andaming Support Group like this website na where you buy, talk, share, meet people who share the same hobby as you and make new friends. Ako? with my NBA Card collection I only get to trade & see fellow collectors when I go to Manila & Cebu (here the hobby is dead na
).
Me tanong pala ako
1. What's "BUMP"?
2. SOC o TF?
3. Kung SOC magkano? Atsaka me chance kaya makumpleto?
4. Kung TF me lalabas pa ba kagaya nung Optimus Prime 20th Anni na ang ganda ng Robot di kagaya dati na di mu alam kung kuba, buntis o pandak ang iba pagnag Robot Form na?
5. Lastly.. advisable ba to start this hobby? Alam ko na gastos to.. yung ibang Pros & Cons lang po
Thank you so much
p.s. baka me kilala na ako dito dahil sa cards, si Randall to taga davao
