Swoosh Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 I've been kinda collecting some Star Wars stuff over the past year or so, but I am considering making it into a bigger hobby...but I'm not sure. Is it worth the time and money to get into it so late? What dirves all of you guys to do it? Thanks for the help Swoosh
ZBomber Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 Get into it more! Its a fun way to pass the time. You'll love going into your local wal-mart and racing kids to the toy section. Then, when you have visitors in your home, you can show them your bad-ass collection. Plus, chicks dig collectors.
ZBomber Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 Originally posted by Chase Windu I suggest you only buy what you like because Star Wars ain't cheap. And a lot of the time it gives you a headache. Don't get yourself into a pickle where you buy a lot of stuff and then in the future your just not interested in it anymore. Unless you are certain you are really into it. Well, you could always sell it. But don't spend more money than you have.
daring dueler Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 FIRST OF ALL HI HAVNT BEEN HERE IN A WHILE ..Z..ITS TATERS.

lukeiamyourdad Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 Buy some recent stuff...the old stuff will cost you a hell of a lot of cash! Can someone tell me how much is worth a death star II made by micro-machines?

Swoosh Posted January 10, 2003 Author Posted January 10, 2003 Yeah, I'd probably only buy newer stuff so I won't kill my bank account. Thanks for the advice everyone...I'm gonna try to pick up some figures the next time I go shopping! Swoosh
ZBomber Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 Some good palces are: Wal-Mart Toys R' Us KB Toys and any other store that sells toys will have them. Daring Duler has alot of places he orders SW action figures off of, he could give you some links.
daring dueler Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 yeah if your death star 2 micro is opened youll get like 2 bucks in box youll probly getn 10$

But its not aroudn where I live, and when I happened to be there, it was closed, so I never got to go in.
ZBomber Posted January 11, 2003 Posted January 11, 2003 And people. Look for a thread called "ZBomber's guide to collecting"
GUNNER Posted January 11, 2003 Posted January 11, 2003 I used to buy a new figure or two every time I went to Fred Meyers. Then I would have to buy some thing for my son as well though. I mostly just collect the figures and various lego models. I do have the bed and blanket set from 1977 though. Now if only I had a twin size bed to put them on.

Darth Groovy Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 Got the new Jedi Council Yoda. Basically it looks like the episode one Yoda with a lightsaber, has a magnet in the hand so he can do that force grab thingy. Not much else to say about it really.

However, if you open it up, theres this really cool stance he can do. I'll get a pic later!
