Hey guys, since many of us have been on this forum for more than 10 years, I thought it would be fun to share some memories of AWX (AnimeWorX as it was styled) and now Nexus. Post your pics, thoughts and comments here

LOL. Hang-out for the oldies! Hope you serve tea
I remember visiting Brightwater to search the flea market there for bootleg anime. Wandered into this dodgy little shop with Console games to have a look around, fearing for my hygiene and sanity.
Heard the dude behind the counter (pretty sure it was Trevor) tell someone to check the "upstairs anime section".
Ascended staircase to anime heaven
First time I found legit stuff in a shop
Became a regular quick quick
Ah the good old days
*sips tea with 40 sugars from saucer*

Think this was around 15 years ago?

Found out about AWX in 2008/2009.
They still had the two shops. One with the anime upstairs, games downstairs. & the second shop with all the comics!!
Then they got their new shop, still at Brightwater. Very fancy!
I would always get there early. Nose pressed up against glass, waiting for them to open.
Was fun meeting up there with friends, & hanging out.
The good old days...*falls asleep in rocking chair*...

I remember you guys when it was still the waterfront , and you guys were in the flea market, i bought silent hill 1 and many after that, i watched as you grew and been a follower ever since ... that was ages ago..

My first experience of AWX was the smaller store at Brightwater. Because of the fluorescent light I was always too scared to go upstairs - I thought it was dodgy stuff up there That was 2005/2006. After going upstairs finally and then meeting everyone, it was so awesome and I was there regularly. DP and I met on the forum Went to all the meetups at Scrooge... well a lot of them... We also organised a paintball meetup at one point. So many great memories

First purchase was a DBZ boxset, bought it when they were just a little stall in the flea market. Got a bunch of episodes that weren't out on TV yet so at school I had numerous requests for episodes ain't nobody got time for SABC and Dub

DBZ: Killed In Action? Sounds about right.

My first interaction was actually a stall that was affiliated with the store in the old Bruma Lake flea market. I bought the entire series 1 of McFarlane AvP figures from them. They mentioned Randburg so I went there to check it out and found some really sweet Robotech diecast figures that I picked up. Then I found the anime section and eventually the games when I started console gaming in 2008. On the forums it was only around 2010 when I finally had a deskbound job after articles that I signed up.

Its nice to know its still alive.

Is larch still kicking?
I think i got on here somewhere around 2005/2006

havent been on here or forums in a long time even the international forums died (RE bioflames etc)

not saying this died.. been mostly on social media and the passed year been at it with my own business after retrenchment (was perfect timing just before covid)

I donno i remember the staff being really awesome and arguments galore in this place. I see what did you buy still alive XD
