Hi from Perceptron!

Yup, I'm new here. Hi!
I'm a 40-ish guy... I followed a pattern that might be a bit typical-- got back into actually buying toys as a result of having kids. And I do actually play with my toys, with my kids, which really drives a lot of the enjoyment for me. Well that and obsessively hunting and planning what to buy next .
My biggest 'collection' at the moment is Transformers (Generations and RID2015) as well as some Spider-Man-centric Marvel Universe. But I've been looking at Glyos eye candy for several years now on the web, especially good old Pheyden, love that design. And I really enjoy looking at people's customs/builds on this forum. I finally took the plunge and ordered some during the October Glyknight wave. I gotta say they are just great in hand, totally live up to the quality, fun, heft and build possibilities as I hoped.
I really like the original Villser colors (Teal-y or trans. green) so I didn't plan to buy any Villser that first order... but then Onell threw in a free Trogillian Villser for my first order, awesome! And it's probably tied for my favorite of the bunch. The paler green looks great in person. Great design. So I was basically planning on getting 2 bioskull Villser and 2 more Trogillian when I ordered for the December drop... but oops they disappeared by then!! Obviously I was not the only one waiting to do that. (Shipping is a bit steep for multiple impulse orders, since I'm in Canada.)
My dream toyline that doesn't exist would be a homage or outright reboot of the old "Interplanetary Spy" book series, anyone remember that? I could see it being done Glyos-compatible, hint hint to any designers reading
I gotta be honest: biggest reason for me joining this forum is to get involved in buying some stuff (and later trading, once I have anything to trade). There are some figures from recent waves, when I was almost pulling the trigger... naturally I regret not doing it, so I'm gonna hunt those down if at all possible .
Good to be here!
