Hi guys some of you dont know me and some do ive been part of this forum for over a year and ive made alot of great friends here especially Ichiban and hasbroandy but ive got along well with hasbromaniac, adam, mrperfectpaul, hasbrocrazy, judge,cdp and others. Im sorry to say that im bowing out of collecting hasbros after all these years. I started collecting them when i was 8 and have kept my loose collection in great shape over the years never losing an accessory or anything. I added some of the greatest custom figures ever made to my collection by steffen smidt(ss customs) and Joe Jenkins(double j collectables) and i have almost a full moc set and tonnes of other stuff that i now intend to sell off. The decision to give up and sell up is half and half between wanting to and needing to. Im moving to Australia in september with my girlfriend and cant bring them with me and they money would really help with moving expenses. I just wanna say a big thank you to you all for helping me and guiding me towards rare items at times. I wanna especially thank Ichiban and Hasbroandy 2 of the greatest guys ive ever spoken to i have great respect for you both you always gave me the benefit of the doubt when people said anything about me. I will always love hasbros they have been a massive part of my life but now its time to move on.
Thank you
James

As i said in my pm to you earlier James it is such a shame that you have to break up your great collection but sometimes in collecting their are more important things and moving to Australia is a pretty big deal. I hope one day you are able to rebuild your collection and i hope that you still post on the forum. Good luck buddie.  |

That cool. Congrats. I've sold my hasbro collection before, regretted it BIG time, collected a full loose set over again. I know you have bigger and better things and need the money. If i desperately needed money, i would obviously have to sell them again, but it would literally be the LAST thing i would sell even after the shirt off my back.
My advice to you, like Hasbromaster did, keep at least one of your most favorite figures!
Good luck.

Sucks that you have to sell your Hasbros, but at least its for something that seems pretty amazing. Best of luck, man. Stick around the board and let us all know how things go

Best of luck to you James on your move. As some members suggested, maybe save a few of the rare pieces in case you want to collect again.

James you've been great to get to know on this forum and hope you keep in touch, australia is a huge deal. I've always thought life experiences are always more important than figures. You get one shot at this life so you gotta make the most of it and I'll know you and your partner will have no regrets.
Best of luck buddy :-)
