Star Wars?

I know there are a lot of star wars collectors here!

I collect Star Wars memorabilia, but it's mostly casual. The only thing I collect with any real purpose are R2-D2s

I was army building the Galactic Heroes before Christmas and made them into custom tree decorations.

I don't collect much of SW, but I'll get figures that look cool to me or for customs (Btw, Voolvif Monn makes a great Splinter base. I just need a better head). Currently, I'm looking forward to one of the Build-a-Droids, HK-47 (Oh, how I've been waiting for him!). I did recently get the new Sarlacc Pit set. It's awesome for displays

I was a huge STAR WARS fan way back when they released Power Of The Force 2 back in '95. I remember Christmas of '96 I got every single figure and vehicle that was released up until that point. Then Episode 1 came and totally took me out of it. I hadn't bought a Star Wars figure since, except recently I got the Sandstorm Luke and Force Unleashed Battle Damaged Vader.

I mainly pick up troopers when I have nothing else to buy. I have over 100 of them so far. I have a few alien characters as well. Just got into the Star Wars Lego because they're so cute.

I don't collect Star Wars figures, but I buy them for my father. I can really appreciate their scope of characters. Everything from the guy you see in a background shot for 3/10th of a second, to unused character designs and concepts have been made. I wish they could have done something like that for TMNT.

TMNTGal · 02-02-2009, 12:29 AM

I totaly agree with you Ninjinister.

TheUltimateShredhead · 02-02-2009, 10:49 AM

I think star wars is the fictional concept with the biggest fanbase

Im not really into it, but it would be fun to build some star wars stuff once.

How much has the Millenium Falcon dropped in price to at your end of the globe? Here, it's gone down from £125 to £73.

Aside from picking up the Star wars insider magazines every month or two I don't really support the franchise. I am a big fan though. Have all the movies and enjoy watching them.

At one point, some Walmarts dropped it as low as $37. That's the lowest I've heard it go for. Most Wal-Marts keep it at $100 lately though.

I love star wars. i used to have a massive vintage collection but sold it all to go travelling. don't regret it one bit. i still have about 5 or 6 original movie posters, though. never letting them go....

I'm a psycho Star Wars fan, but I got out of the action figures market in the 90's when I got old enough to realize it was just an endless money pit.

Wish I'd been that smart! My tastes just matured with age. I don't get much of the Hasbro stuff anymore (except the EU figures, I love those) but I get a fair amount of the Sideshow stuff (not so much now as it's all armor and price rises).

Same for Batman. I skipped the Mattel Movie Masters but got the Hot Toys. Way more money but still feels like better value.
