the grand entrance .... 
registration on the right of entrance on Media Day, saw Boon Leng, a very old friend and a vet in the toy scene. for me, i'm a comic reader since 87, toy collector since 96 [unless u count collecting playmobil and star wars figures in the 70s, a 1/6th collector since 98, a console gamer since 06 [pc games suck]. i'm pretty much a outdated vet.
