|  Age :35 Location : Cleveland , OH Occupation : High school English teacher Children : 9 month old son: Elliott Main focus : That's a tough one as I've never had a really defined focus. Right now I'm looking for MOC and MIB diecast ships, a few other unpainted Micros, and some odds and ends I'd like to have round out my collection. Lately I've also been working on MIB/Unused ships and playsets. |

| Thanks for sharing your pics and bios, guys!! Well deserved '+' for you all. Let's calculate. In total we have 681 members today. Minus 14 (pics in this thread). Minus 6 (pics from mods/admins in the other thread). Still 661 pics to go!! OK, I would also like to see some pretty faces now. Where are all our female members? I know we have a few. |

LOL Age :37 Location : New Brunswick, Canada Occupation : General slave at Guardian Drugs Children : 4 bad cats : Psycho, Floyd, Rudy and Buzz Married to: Sari Boudreau. Poor woman putting up with me. Main focus: Right now the focus is comics and related items. SW wise my focus is Polish and Mexican bootlegs and anything IG-88 related.

| Nice looking photos gang. Here's me with my daughter a couple weeks back. Just chillin' on 3rd Street in West Hollywood.  I've been a member here I guess around a year now? My collecting habits are for lack of a better word very pedestrian. Just a solid and 99% complete loose collection and a growing collection of nice moc U.S. Kenner figs numbering currently around 30. If you can't tell from the gray in my beard I was definitely in this as a youngster from the very beginning. I saw the original Star Wars in the theatre for my birthday party in '77 and had figures in my clutches by April '78. If you forget for a moment that I didn't collect anything between 1984 and 2008 well than this is nearly a whole life's passion! ;) Also I'm currently taking a 3 month hiatus from any new acquisitions. I experienced a crushing eBay burnout, culminating with a 31-back Boba Fett win a couple months back. It was time to take a break and enjoy the spoils for a while. I'll be back on the hunt starting with SDCC in July. There's also a blog of photos I run that shows my loose collection in various and occasionally dramatic situations. Have a look if you're inclined. |

| Me (in the middle) at Oz Comic Con just yesterday  At the spritely age of 37. A day off from my gig as an Inventory Controller. Got a 7 year old son who is in to any character with a light saber. The missus Elaine can't believe I enjoy collecting toys and won't grow up but at least I don't gamble and drink ( I find when I'm drunk I make silly bets) Other interests - Football, currently coaching a side in Melbourne (not very well at), getting out and about with the family and seeing the sights of Australia (tis' quite a big country), gambling and drinking. About my SW collecting - Give me 20 mins and you can see how much probing FX-7 gets out of me. |

| Love that part of the country, well North America... I have an uncle who lives on Lummi Island, off of Bellingham, Washington. I used to go to Seattle all the time (had a friend play for the Sonics, Demond Mason) and would travel up to Vancouver to visit some of my business partners. If I didn't have family here in Oklahoma, I'd love to live in the Northeast. Breath taking country. |
