Ill start, Have still checked into the site about twice a week to check news and see what is going on. Mostly to check Pawlus's Figure of the Day segment and his weekly Q&A. Other than that, have really cut back on my Action Figure collecting. Price is getting too high. Also, just working on renovating my house.
Glad you all got your forums back. I have checked in on the site everyday I can and also 4 others. I only joined this site and never the other 4. I still collect heavily and now I will be able to do this until I am very old!!!lol I have done part online and part store and conventions. I still get crazy over this stuff at 43 and even crazier when people say they have collected since the beginning--in the 90's. I'll never get that.lol
Collecting as always. Been focusing on my vintage collection these last 2 years, expanding it greatly with many of the rarer variants, including many Lili Ledy figures.
I'm still just as interested in collecting Star Wars as ever, and yet I've only bought maybe two figures in the past year. I have no interest in the animated style, and I'll only buy a resculpt if it's superior to the last one. Collecting has been bleak! Hopefully this Disney buyout will breathe some new life into the merchandising end of the franchise. (No doubt that it will, actually!)
I'm still collecting DC Comics figures, MOTUC, Doctor Who, and a couple of other things like the short-lived Thundercats line, the sporadically-released Walking Dead figures, and I have a real soft-spot for Transformers: Prime.
I've been waiting for the forums to reopen. :D
I haven't restarted my collection in the meanwhile, although I had another kid or two. Our two-year-old loves my Max Rebo and Wampa Buddies. There's very little left of my old collection, though.
Another kid or two? You have one younger than 2, or is the 2 year old the youngest still?

Wow! Congrats again!
Congrats, Red! My boy turned 2 a couple months ago. Fun age, but exhausting!
My sister's oldest is a few months older than our 2-year-old. Before she had kids, she was already an "expert" on parenting and would often offer up advice on everything we were doing wrong. It's been fun seeing her deal with her own kids, especially when she goes nuts over her 2-year-old being a 2-year-old. Even better is when her childless "expert parent" friends on Facebook offer her the same sort of spot-on, excellent advice on how to deal with these things that she gave us for all those years. :D
