thierry

Many thanks Thierry for taking the time to do the interview for us   . A great read and in sight into your collecting !     

salut thierry grande interview, votre anglais est meilleur que mon français ou flamand, que je ne peux pas parler ou de comprendre les deux langues, je triche et en utilisant Google translate, donc ne vous inquiétez pas!
Parlez-vous aussi flamand ainsi que le français


au cas où vous faites! Incase je doen!


hi thierry groot interview, je Engels is beter dan mijn Frans of Vlaams, als ik niet kan spreken of verstaan ​​van beide talen, ik vals spelen en het gebruik van google translate, dus maak je geen zorgen!
Heeft u ook zowel Vlaamse als Franse spreken

Captain action      

Fantastic interview Thierry! You have an obvious passion for Action Man and it shows in every post you make on the forum.

Your English is fine.
Nice to learn a bit about you.

Wow! Great interview! I love GI Joe too! But, Frankie is the best! Oh, he's part GI Joe as well now...  

Great interview Tierry!!! Your English is very good so no worries mon ami! I'm sorry for you to sell but happy if you can do nice things with the money you get!

fantastic interview

That's a great interview Thierry and a man of good taste.

Have I ever said how much I like Tom Stone? Lol my childhood figure is on the right as we look with repro hands but the original wrist pegs

Great Interview

Awesome Interview Thierry enjoyed reading it, nice know more about you Thierry thanks for sharing   

I really enjoyed reading your interview.

It's nice to know where you're coming from, Thierry    Thanks for an intresting read!   

Interesting Interview, Thierry.

As far as your plan of selling off your collection in 8 years in order to travel, some might say that you won't be able to do it because the money you invest now will not provide a decent return when you sell.

I say that when the time comes to sell off you won't be ale to part with your 12" friends.   

sorry for late reply, what a  great interview

Very good interview Thierry! Sorry I missed this back in July...
