My first fan forum: Good morning Oz!
Hi Guys, I'm not really sure how I should start writing my intro. I may already have read intros of some Ozformers before as I've been a frequent visitor for a couple of months now, however, I was hesitant to join because I'm afraid that I may not be able to regularly post much in the discussion threads. This is my first attempt to interact in a TF forum as I've been just complacent reading news and articles from different TF fan websites. And besides, my english grammar sometimes doesn't cooperate with me. My accent could be quite distinct as I still carry my strong native tongue from the same roots of liegeprime, optimus1, and komikskolektor. Mabuhay po sa inyong lahat! :)
I've been in Melbourne, or I may say, in Oz for only about a year now. And yes, I love Australia! And I liked it even more when I found that the TF community here is so much very active - thank you Ozformers! I eventually decided to join the group because of two things - 1) Transformers & 2) Lego - which apparently are my two most favorite past times. My "hobby in collecting TF" (translate: too much window-shopping and few buying) only started in late 2006 when I unexpectedly caught classic starscream in the supermarket. As a loyal G1 fan, I'm really glad they appeared in retail because prior to that, I knew I couldn't afford to buy those expensive collectors' series. I once have some original G1 figures but they didn't lived that long. I've been obliged to share my toys with my younger siblings which apparently are not careful enough even to keep their limbs together.:eek::( I'd always have to remind them that only legos are to be dettached and not the transformers.:D Well, those were the times. Now, I may have accumulated probably around 40 TFs - some classics 1.0/2.0, some cybertrons, a 20th anniv OP, two alternators, one ultimate BB, three leaderclass MovieTF, some G1 key chains, and my growing animated figures. No legos yet but keen on having a collection set in a relatively distant future.
As for the chosen nick, I just reminisced that wheeljack was my favorite G1 cartoon character simply because he is the "scientist" that I know (correct me if I'm wrong). Such a shame I became an engineer - not a robot inventor. Have no clues if there'll be a classic wheeljack but I'm definitely grabbing one if it comes. I just hope that the alt mode would have the same vehicle type and color as the original G1 - I wish.
Hope that this self-intro suffice. Have a good week ahead!:)
