Hi Rogue! First of all, Welcome Aboard

Secondly, oh my, new and already ready to hop on the HT train.

It'll be costly as heck but they have way cool stuff, and often adequate bang for your buck.
A lot of retailers carry HT products,
www.vikingplayground.com,
www.redplanettoys.com, cotswold collectibles at
www.gijoeelite.com to name a few, so finding a dealer you like shouldn't be a problem.
They and or their employees are members of the forum, the first store's owner being mx22 who recently posted a PJ bash and a good guy I can personally vouch for.
Also, sometimes guys let go of their figures on the Open Market subforum, so if you're looking for something already decommissioned you could put up a thread there.
