Hello from New Jersey!

[RandomHero]

Hi all!

My name is Matt, I'm 27 years old, and I'm from the great state of New Jersey (no, I don't know Snooki or Bon Jovi!). I'm just about brand new to sixth scale collecting. I just discovered this forum and figured what the hell, why not become a part of the community and make some new friends?

Some fun facts about me: I'm from north west New Jersey...the part with mountains that's away from the infamous Garden State Parkway. I live about 15 minutes from George Washington's HQ in Morristown. I have a job working in reinsurance for one of the biggest insurance companies in the world. I am a massive hockey fan, I have New Jersey Devils season tickets and have met and gotten an autograph from almost the entire active NHL. Most are nice guys! I played hockey and baseball in high school, and am currently training to take up rock climbing. I play the occasional video game, I have a PS4 and Assassin's Creed and Uncharted are my favorite franchises.

I just started collection SSC/HT sixth scale figures this past March. So far, I've gotten 8 pieces for my brand new display cabinet... the HT ANH Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, the SSC Han Solo (Hoth) and R2-D2, the AoU Thor, BvS Superman, the HT Sandtrooper and the SSC Nathan Drake. I have the Civil War Captain America and Scarlet Witch on pre order from Sideshow, as well as the Star Ace Dumbledore and the upcoming Rey & BB-8. This hobby makes you BROKE!

Anywho, I hope to get to know some of you and build my collection with this place as a resource. Any questions about me, feel free to ask!

-Matt

Welcome! I'm not from Jersey, but I'm here.

You should check out Unmasked Collectibles in Milburn and Rogue Comics in Cranford for local SSC/HT buying (if you haven't already).

I'm from jersey too! Central Jersey that is. I see you got bit with the HT/SSC bug. It's addicting!! Definitely check out my favorite store Unmasked Collectibles in Millburn NJ. I deal with them mostly for all my HT/SSC stuff, and they have great customer service. I also go to comic fortress in somerset nj and they have an awesome collection of statues and HT too! Good luck and welcome!

welcome im from south jersey. i also appreciate other jersey members who have been sharing places to buy 1/6 figures locally, since its very hard to find information online. If anyone else knows of any other places in jersey that carry 1/6 figures please share.

Millburn isn't far from me at all! I'm actually in Short Hills a pretty fair amount, so I may have to check out Unmasked! What type of HT do they carry? New releases or older type stuff?
