I'm Amanda and I just recently started to collect but have been collecting other toys for years, I'm super stoked to be apart of this board finally, so far this has been such a great forum already!

hi amanda
i'm ben
i'm also fairly new to the board
sb is great!
welcome

Hello! I've been here less than a month myself, mostly lurking, but it has been very interesting to say the least. I've already gotten an answer or two to some questions about reputable sellers. Overall it really seems like a nice place and nobody has flamed me... yet.

Welcome to the board! Be friendly, respectful, with open ears and eagerness to learn and research, and you'll fit right in!

hey purple bat! like how you do
and welcome 2

Welcome to SB . . . i find it a fun and resourceful place!

welcome
I really like your username
the only thing I know about Hello Kitty is that in Furry Tale Theater she was voiced by one of my idols
but your username has reminded me I ought to actually look into it

Hi Amanda, welcome to SB!

Welcome, HK! It sounds like you're going to dig SB a lot then It's amazing at just how much information is buried within, but don't fret to ask for help either. It's a community after all. I've actually been surprised at just how helpful some members can be. Alright, well Enjoy!

Welcome Hello Kitty! Do you still have any of those old rotary phones? I used to have one of you years ago I lost it somewhere through life.

Welcome Amanda.

I assume you collect/like Sanrio. When we were kids, my sister used to collect all kinds of Sanrio stuff. From toys to stationary, etc. I am not ashamed to say I used to like a few of the characters as well. Tuxedo Sam was, and still is, one of my favorites. Along with that pink pig who's name I can never remember. It's been a very long time since those days though.

Well, have fun and post some pics of your sofubi/kaiju when you are ready.

Welcome, HK!
Hope you find sb fun and interesting!

Hello To all you new guys and gals... Welcome to SB where dreams go to die lol
but seriously have fun talk toys and if you need anything ask

hello & welcome.

Welcome Hello Kitty and Purple Bat.

this is always a good place to start: viewforum.php?f=31

and thank you for introducing yourselves. That is always a plus. Feel free to post pics of your toy collection so we can see what you like.

Hi hellokitty, I'm hellopike... this'll be almost as good as locomoco and locomoto566.

I can see myself confusing you too in a few days...

you wouldn't believe my Sanrio/Hello Kitty collections, I work at a Sanrio so it's even worse cuz I get to buy everything. one of the things that got me into kaiju was alot of those teamups with kitty that I would see when I hunted for her stuff.

Welcome Amanda. I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this to you, but it would also help if you are thick skinned (not literally). Some people may come across as , but they are just trying to help and are harmless. That being said, just try and enjoy being here.

oh, I would like to see your Sanrio collection. pics..!

Hello, Hellokitty...welcome
Love Sanrio - I am a solid Badtz Maru fan (the only one with attitude!)
Have only a few, buried beneath the feet of hundreds of Daikaiju
You will see many strange and wonderful toys here

Welcome and have fun!

Hi, I'm Michael, I like long walks on the beach, and I love my wife... I've always liked the Secret BasexHKxBalzac fig with the mic. It's funny, my wife is actually wearing a HK shirt right now. I'd love to see collection photos as well, I've known some hardcore HK collectors who's collections could put most of ours to shame.

Welcome.

I'm Dustin and every time I see someone wearing Hello Kitty clothing or accessories, I Shaolin knife fist them right in the duodenum!
Nah, not really. I like Badtz Maru and really dug on the HK x Girl skateboard collaboration. My wife loves HK stuff in general and I once bought her a Swarovski crystal encrusted HK makeup mirror. This place can be a bit like a toy nerd locker room but even the tough guys collect dollies. Welcome aboard and lets see that Sanrio museum.

Agreed, would like to see pics of your Sanrio collection! I hope it's crazy!!
