New here...and overwhelmed with all the info

Hello all,
This past fall I stumbled across the "Many versions of Skeletor" videos on YouTube. I wanted to show my son some of the toys I played with as I was a kid...so of course I sat him down in front of Google and away we went. Needless to say...I was floored at the amount of content out here on the intertubes about MOTU. I was also incredibly excited to learn about the MOTU Classics line. (I have some catching up to do with those.) Through the power of ebay I was able to introduce my 4yr old son to He-Man 200x...and several of his friends and enemies, this past Christmas. Who am I kidding...they were for me as much as for him. I had noticed the 200x line when it was in Toys R Us...but was busy with college and did not pay them much attention.

Since I re-discovered MOTU in cyberspace...I have watched the Mike Young cartoon....re-acquainted myself with the 80's cartoon....and developed a serious collector addiction. And I want to thank all of you for it. It's been awesome sharing this toy line with my son and delving into all the info out here. I listen to podcasts on my way to and from work, met the Pop Culture Network guys at C2E2 this past April, and have generally a great time reliving this bit of my childhood.

So I figured it was time to join up on the forums here at He-Man.org. I hope to meet some new people and continue enjoying everything MOTU related.

So what is this Chicagoland sightings thread....I'll be diving into it, in time...but if someone could provide a quick synopsis, it would be appreciated. I am in the Chicago area...so it piqued my interest.

Welcome to the forums!

Greetings and welcome!

Welcome to He-Man.org. I hope you will enjoy yourself.

Hello, I just discoved this great site to my childhood heros. I'm glad the spirit of He-man is still alive!!

Welcome kid@heart and Princess Adora NJ!

Welcome to the boards! I think the Chicago thread is haunted by a group of guys there that hang out together although the thread was started back when the 200x line was being sighted in stores.

Basically.

It's basically a tiny group of guys personal dumping ground. The title is a bit misleading.

To kid@heart:

Don't worry, there are tons of other people from Chicago on the boards, who don't use that thread. You won't be alone, TRUST me. The main forums is where it's at. Either way, welcome to the boards from another Chicago fan!

Welcome Its always awesome hearing about getting the kids involved. My nephew loved the 200x line and even posted here a few times.

Everything you need to know you should be able to find here
