| Hi,
My name is Walt. I am 42. I live in PA, USA (just north of Philadelphia). Married, 2 kids ages 11 and 12 who have been raised on Star Wars. I have been collecting since the Early Bird and even have my original movie ticket stub from June 25th, 1977 when I first saw Star Wars at the AMC theater in Bensalem, PA. The movie cost $1.95 for the 3 pm showing in theater 2 (there were only 2 screens back then).
At this point in my collecting, I am now looking for all of the bizarre items like the speeder bike bicycle that was a contest giveaway in 1983 or movie props. I am also collecting the vintage figures on international cards, mostly need Lili Ledi, Gasslite, and the wacky Uzay stuff.
I have also been getting into rehabbing or customizing vintage figures. For example, giving Boba Fett a more accurate paint job. I figure there are probably others here that I can learn some tips from.
I am surprised I haven't seen this site before. Now that I've found it. I plan on coming here often. |

| Hey everyone, just introducing myself, So new to the gunnery, not new to the hobby. I've been collecting on and off since I was little and the first films came out (yes that's how old I am). Returned to vintage after my son was born as it reminded me of the nostalgia that I felt and and am educating him in the ways of the force  I'm near the completion of my loose collection (looking for help to complete) and have a very strong Stormtrooper focus alongside, will post some pics as and when I get it set up again (just recently moved). Already listen to Skye and Steve on the Chive cast, catching up very quickly, and enjoying them like a fat guy loves cake  Looking forward meeting people from all around the world, chatting and learning more about this ever changing hobby. Wampa Wampa, Karl. |
