<B>Any collectors out there?</B> If so what do you collect?<P>I'm a big collector of SW merchandise and collect most things going. From books, games, posters, comics, watches, you name it! <BR>My biggest hobbie though is collecting the cool action figures that Hasbro produces. Helps me recapture my youth! <P>After giving EP1 a bit of a miss I am looking forward to the cool stuff for EP2. Well my bank balance isn't!<P>So what do you collect and what stuff are you looking forward to of the new EP2 merchandise?<BR><I>(Avoid major spoilers please.)</I><P>------------------<BR><I>Going in Full Throttle!</I><BR><A HREF="http://www.antilles100.freeserve.co.uk" TARGET=_blank>The X-wing Outpost</A><BR>Home of The Batlle of Yavin and Endor projects.

I used to have a guinea pig I got from a friend who collected them. He had about 6 of 'em in the sae small cage. I dont wanna beigin to imagine the droppings he had to clean up every day. But my guinea pig died a while ago from scurvy or something He has like 2 left now and they are both females so he cant get any more thats if he hasnt given them away yet. I know people with strange hobbies I dont think I'll go into to some of them

What a lovely topic. Like you, I also collect the newer 3.75in characters. I have tons of the new, original 12'' figures. Calendars, old lunch pales (sp?), beanies, the entire band set on 12'' fugures. My biggest thing is the Life-Size Darth Maul (from Save-Ons) who stands in the corner of my room with lightsaber in hand. My parents got it for me for $300. But I've seen him on EBay for 700. <P>My entire collection is probably worth more than $3000. However, I am not selling any time soon. I gave up after I moved into a smaller room and all the carded figures had to be boxed. I rarely attended toyshows after Episode 1, but with Ep2 coming out, things should start up again, even if i have no room

Well, I DID collect old SW figures when I was a lad at school, but then I got desperate and had to sell them.<P>At one stage I collected SW books and had about 3/4 of the ones available... not any more tho.<P>So now I'm stuck with no collections at all!!.... maybe I should start something again...<P>

Well now's a good time to start collecting again!<BR>I've also got a few of the collectible plates <I>(that I've buried behind stuff )</I>, board games I've never played and models I can't build! <BR>I would really like the remade Shuttle toy they say might be out this Xmas. But it's going to cost me a bomb and I've <B>nowhere</B> to put it! <P>I'm really enjoying the NJO series of books. Just seems that there's a new one out right after I finish the old one!<BR>I'm glad it was taken over as the old series was getting boring. That Bounty Hunter trilogy was not too good.<P>I'm also collecting the Jedi Apprentice range as they are very nice light reads. Just trying to go back and get all the YJK range by KJA that I missed.

I like the Viscount, and the new star destroyers from Star by Star, but new ships often show up and then dissapear later.

I haven't really got into the NJO books yet.... Ive read Vector Prime, and thats about it thus far. Looking forward to Stackpole's Dark Tide duology though.<P>I still think the X-Wing series was the best set of SW books by far. Thank god I kept em!!
