1. they ignore you, because they are as much ashamed to be a collector as you are or they view you as competition as thus, the enemy. 95% 2. they are MOC types and can't comprehend opening toys. They might talk to you about selling their collection and bore you to tears. 3% 3. they are irritating wankers who make you regret the past 25 years. 2%
it was a TRU during the height of Sigma 6, but they still had some of those exclusive 6 packs around. i REALLY wanted either anti-venom or the arctic one on that day (never found either) so I was there.
the employee himself was a GI Joe fan and started rambling to my girlfriend at the time and I about 'all the positive changes sigma 6 brought for Spirit Iron Knife' (he sounded just like simpsons comic book guy, and looked similar as well) and tried to get me to buy some roleplay toy Duke blaster. I said no and went on my way and he was SO HURT.
I've only had one encounter as well. I walked into a tru and there was a well dressed man mid 30's going through the joe pegs. I'm an easy goin extrovert so I said, "anything new?" He ignored me, glanced nervously at me and then the floor. So I said. You collect?" He began to stutter and said." My my my brother he he does." and he scurried away quickly. He was a fraked out nerd and I guess I imtimidate.
I've only had one encounter with another guy into joe (whom I didn't know personally) and the motherfucker tried too take the Rock Viper and Major Bludd 2 pack out of my hand. I let him take it and then bounced a Man-O-War sub off his head. I'm not allowed in a certain TRU anymore
the only toy collecter encounter i ever had was when the mc farlane kiss figs first came out and i scored the gene simmons one and had it in my cart and this motherfucker just swooped it out of the cart and i threatened to beat him to a pulp in front of his little girl, to which he replied that i was mistaken, he didnt take anythign from my cart and would i please not take that tone with him.
i smiled at his little girl and said "your daddy is a faggot".
she looked up and me and with a huge toothy grin said "faggot!"
I took the gene simmons from his hand and looked at her and agreed.

I feel lucky in that, to date, I've never encountered any other GI Joe fan/collector/retard in the same store as me at the same time. WHEW
the flying car indicates you are a fan of M.A.S.K., my friend.
My encounters with other fans.

my only bad/funny encounter was as follows:

See, it's like talking to someone at the porno shop. You shouldn't even make eye contact.
