Thanks guys - Links all added, appreciate the input!

Here is one I would add

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.sf.starwars.collecting.vintage/topics

This take you to the rasscv newsgroup. Just use the search box and you can find all sorts of old topics that were discussed during the 90's to the early 00's.

The vintage sub group was created around '98, so I also would add

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.sf.starwars.collecting/topics as a place to search too.

You can even find my one and only post on there

Curiosity got the better of me Shawn and I just had to look to see what you wrote too! OMG that's awesome. Look at the date: 1996!!! You will have to save that thread on your great site as a memento Shawn.

The 90s were magical time us guys getting back to our old toys ... no eBay or online shopping either so everything was hard to get hold of.

Great idea Joe with the reference guide on guides!

Yeah I did. lol It was my cousin in the early 90s who kind of got me back into Star Wars when I was around 15. I didn't broadcast it at school or anything and my closer friends didn't seem to mind it. Embarassed
