Thank you.....

Just wanted to post a quick 'Thank you' to all you guys on here. The likes of Iain( who introduced me) Grant, Lars, Edd, Luis, Frank, Jas, Jason, Gary, Bram, June....The list goes on. Don't feel to offended if I forgot to mention you...its not intentional

This has to be, by far, the best SW site on the net! Having dealt with so many people on here from all across the UK, USA, Europe, its been a pleasure to be a member on here

I'm sure some of you will have seen that I am selling off my LFB cardback collection...its not all bad

As I said to Grant and Lars, I've totally lost the collecting bug over the last number of months. I'm not even scouring eBay anymore for cards let alone figures..

I sold my figure collection a while back to fund training I was getting into and that has progressed more rapidly than I expected. I am focusing on Brazilian jiu jitsu and between training, competition fees (Two more coming up before Christmas), Kit, etc, it all adds up. I just couldn't justify having a collection gathering dust when I needed cash.

I'm not going to be a stranger, just won't be posting as much as before. Still enjoying looking at the Latest pick ups that people come by.

Too end, just to prove it hasn't been a total waste of time and effort, heres a pic of my Silver medal I recently picked up as Runner up in a national BJJ competition....

The pleasure was always all mine, your a great guy and I wish you all the luck in the future.

The figures will always be available as will the members be on here.

Good luck!!

For some reason I read silver medal for BJs 3 times before I read it correctly :lol:

All the best Jeff in your comps

Jeff, this just shows that your grounded and you are doing whats right for you and yours.

Like you say mate, don't be a stranger.

Congrats on the achievement and good luck with your progression to being a master of your chosen art. Look forward to seeing you wearing the Red Belt :wink:

All the best to you mate

Mike

As Bram said the pleasure is ours Jeff, we will be here for you when the bug bites back mate & there are always more important things than toys.

Really pleased to hear things are progressing well with your training & that you already have accolades to prove what you're investing in is working for you.

As the others have said, don't be a stranger & ATB for the future for you & yours.

Not sure I done anything that deserved a thanks Jeff but all the best in the future

I am sure the pull of SWFUK will bring you back more often than you might think.

Fair play Jeff, that's a fantastic achievement. It's great to see people like you with drive, ambition and motivation. I wish more people were like you.

My collecting cools off considerably during the summer months as it is the peak of the triathlon and cycling time trial season so I just don't have time to dedicate to the hobby.

I'm cool with that though a its meant my efforts this year have resulted in me qualifying for spot on Team GB for the Age group European triathlon championships in Geneva next year.

Keep us up to date with your progress. Best of luck.

Good luck with everything Jeff!!

Thanks for the comments lads, as I say I will still be having a good look at everyone's recent acquisitions now and then.

Mike...I'm a little bit off my red belt, hopefully will be eligible to fight for my Blue belt around Christmas! It's a long term goal 10yrs+ for Black belt, I know that might sound crazy to some people but it's a goal I've set myself. Will get it done before retirement

Bram...a true gent as always, it was a pleasure dealing with you, be it a trade, sale, whatever :wink:

Michael...Appreciate those words, as you said I'm doing something for me that I'm really enjoying.

Richard..... :lol: :lol:

Chubb....Didn't think that I Thanked you???.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol:

Rebel, Thanks for that...Team GB cool, well done!

Tundra...Cheers man

Jeff, shame to see you stop as a collector mate but glad you'll not be a stranger.
Fair play to you with the BJJ mate, i too had to read that a second time!

Rebel, thats an awesome achievement.

Guys like you two smash the stereotype of a Sci Fi Toy Collector

Good luck Jeff.
My wife won gold in a BJ tournament, and silver in a HJ comp.

Hope it goes well champ!

All the best matey.....don't be a stranger.

Im sure you'll be back sw is like a bloody boomarang it'll come
Flying back and smack....before you know it you'll be in Bidding war for an FB. :wink:

Mate, you have been a credit to the board and I hope that you don't become a stranger

A lot of people come and go - I is the nature of this hobby - but if you ever decide to pick up the collecting baton again then I am sure that there will be a few things that catch your eye in the sales threads :lol:

Chris, Thanks for the comments. I think I had 36 at one point

Crazy...I'm sure I'll be back buying at some point, as you say it's hard to stay away.

Iain....it's all your fault anyways, lost count of all our deals. When I do feel the collecting bug again I know exactly where to come looking

Good luck with everything Jeff..

WAX ON WAX OFF :lol: :lol: .... Sorry I couldn't help it. :wink:
