Welcome to TIG, good to see you over here Jez.

Greetings...

Figured I'd start here with a little introduction...

My name is Erik, I've collected SW since I was probably about 4 when SW first came out and my parents started buying me figures. I of course as most kids got away from buying SW when I moved on to baseball cards, but eventually re-discovered it when the PT movies were released and it reignited my collecting passion.

I've gone back and forth since re-discovering collecting SW staring with EP1 figures, then back to vintage & modern, then dumping all my modern to get into Gentle Giant, and now back to vintage again.

Currently I collect a mix of OT Gentle Giant mini busts and loose vintage with my current goal being a complete set of loose basic figures. I currently only have 4 figures left to go, plus a variety of accessories.

to TIG Erik, good to have you onboard

Welcome Jez & Eric. Enjoy the boards.

Greetings everyone my name is Craig aka Crazy Wan Kenobi. I am 38, from Brisbane, Australia and i am a lifelong Star Wars fan. I'm studying to be a Primary School teacher and i also like playing and watching basketball, Lego, skateboarding and UFC. My fondest memories are watching the Return of the Jedi at the drive in and playing with our vintage Star Wars figures and ships in the forest behind my cousins house(It was our very own Endor!) I have 2 kids 3 and 1. My 3yo son TC loves his Star Wars too. I collect vintage and some modern figures. I am super-excited and looking forward to being able to share the same experiences/nostalgia i did as a kid with my son who will be 5 when the new trilogy comes out!
Anyone who is a member of Mousedroid.com will probably know me.
Thanks for having me on board and May The force be with you all!
PS Sorry for waffling on I have had too much red bull this morning!

It's always great to see younger vintage collectors. When you get a chance share some pictures of your collection

Welcome Mattias!!!

Great to have you on board.

Hey Mattias

Great to have a fellow Youngling on board

Welcome Mattias,

Nice to see some new blood coming into the vintage collecting circle, most people i see around here are in their late 30's (the old school !!).

Made me think of that. Welcome aboard, Mattias.

Hello guys, my name is Bryan. I live in Texas and I have collected star wars figures and related merchandise for what seems like forever. I started with hand me down toys that were my brothers and some that I managed to beg my family to buy me off the shelves. I am an ex police officer as of September of 2012, by choice. My wife and I run a foster child home and have one adopted child who is 4 now. I am trying to raise him as a star wars nut (enthusiast) and so far mission accomplished. Now if I can just convince him to not rip open the toys.......oh well that is what they are there for I guess. Really I encourage him to play with his toys as it will build a stronger connection to them and he can have some of the same memories that I had playing with mine. Some guys here know me from rebelscum or ebay as I have made a few connections through both. I am just happy to be a part of a star wars community where I hope fellow collectors can get along and help each other.

Welcome Bryan
