i can relate to that,being born in 88 ,i had used video games from intellwvision and nes,flea market was where my parent parent these.then first brand new console i ever had was ps1 and back then i could have 4 to five game a year max so i chose the rpg type cause they lasted longer to go trought,toy i had more frequently marvel was the best plus tmnt!first time i bought a serious comics was a cgc daredevil 181 9.4.you are right some of our toys and games influanced our choice when starting to collect!

Yes my brother was born in 1987, so he is more power rangers or pokemon to yugioh

His first own system we didnt share was ps1, I was then getting out of that and turn to more social things. Even then the only constant was comics! My brother never collected them, but even now when he sees some stuff, he says ah that's cool. Back a couple of years ago he tried this hand on the walking dead reprints, but if it's not cards, games, or statues then he only dabbles.

I can only imagine what people born early this century will find for nostalgia......

I'm hoping it is still finite and something tangible to hold or sort through. Because all this internet based fun: streaming, online multiplayer, or digitized comics, imo, seems more temporary than even a 32 page comic

Its worth noting that I meant temporary as in not too much a collectables type thing.

Video games are as fun as they've ever been and other areas as well.

Games starting out collectable would still be sealed. Some can still read a comic and have it come back a 9.8.

Just food for thought

Waiting for Sabertooth related keys to pop!

It’s been awhile since I bought any VALIANT. It still amazes me how reasonable the prices are on these books. I always come back to my first comic love.

2 awesome copper keys there! Congrats. I'm waiting to receive a raw Omega Men #3 myself. I'm mainly a marvel fan, but when it comes to DC I realized that Lobo is my 3rd favourite character (after Batman & Alan Moore's Swamp Thing). I own his first 3 mini series so I thought it would be cool to own his first appearance too

Definitely! Even growing up reading it, I didn't know read much  about him, but when I did it was fights and more straight to the point kind of reading that I liked

My poor attention span.

Mini series would be cool, I found some $1 omega men #6's & #10's a couple of years ago that are Lobos cameos after his first app in #3, and it wasn't enough.

I'm surprised I waited so long to get the 1st app too.

I believe I first saw it in a Rich Henn thread in a SS slab.... by the time I decided to bite, someone else already had. I figured I'd add it to my mental list of CA books to look for... you know, like the final GI Joe issues and stuff like that. I was surprised by how many dealers just didn't have that one, or it was too roughed up. .....  I totally   P Craig Russell, ever since "The Dreaming City" graphic novel. GOD BLESS...

My Omega Men #3 first appearance of Lobo arrived! 

 

Just for fun I'm including my existing copy of Lobo #1 I've had since I was a kid. It was Bisley's intense art that drew me in initially, but then I got hooked on the galactic black comedy and over the top violence of this bounty hunting anti hero. (One of the annoying things about being Australian collector is that news stands used to write AUD prices on the covers..)
