[Ace Antilles]

<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.

Helps me recapture my youth! <P>After giving EP1 a bit of a miss I am looking forward to the cool stuff for EP2.

I used to collect the Decipher Starwars cards, but since my friend dumped his collection cos he was loosing to me too much, i've had no-one to play against! Oh well...<P>Oh yeah, i'm just getting into star wars graphic novels off <A HREF="http://www.amazon.co.uk" TARGET=_blank>www.amazon.co.uk</A> . I've got DARK EMPIRE II at the moment and saving up for EMPIRE'S END. cracking.<P>------------------<BR>XWA, like Madonna, is living proof that old things can still look beautiful.

[Rich C]

I'm also considering starting up a graphic novel collection, I have Crimson Empire so far, my collection is so vast <BR>and novels too probably, I'm slowly working my way through the X-Wing books.<P>------------------<BR>When 900 years you reach, look as good you will not, hmm? <p>[This message has been edited by Rich C (edited 24 March 2002).]

[Mouse]

[Ace Knight 1]

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

[Shark]

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

[Upset_Wookiee]

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>

[Ace Antilles]

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.

[General Edor Crespin]

Got an email from Amazon last night saying <B>Rebel Dream</B> had shipped! Really looking forward to it since Allson wrote it and Dark Journey was just <I>horrible</I>!<P>------------------<BR>"Life?

[Major Wes Janson]

I like the Viscount, and the new star destroyers from Star by Star, but new ships often show up and then dissapear later. What happened to the Ralroost and the Star Defenders?!?<P>------------------<BR>If you don't care where you are, you ain't lost!<BR>(Anything in parentheses can be ignored)<BR>Where patience fails, force prevails<BR>All hail Finagle and his prophet Murphy!

[BattleDog]

Hay, Ace, do you have a MINT 1980s B-Wing?<P>I do!<P>------------------<BR>We must stand together,<BR>Or we will fall!

[Upset_Wookiee]

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!!

[General Edor Crespin]

I just got Rebel Dream! <P>Great cover, reading it now..<P>------------------<BR>"Life? You have a life? Wow!
