[QUOTE="Palifan, post: 445052, member: 4095"] I didn't realize it was so serious Joe, really sorry to hear that you feel you've had your lot with Star wars for now. I haven't really picked up much in the way of vintage SW for a while now myself and have only bought the odd modern figure from the new films, but it does feel almost like habit. I think with the way prices have been going that it's easy to lose interest in collecting as it does take some of the fun out of it and also after spending years just thinking about all things SW it's good to take a break from it every now and then. I've been having some fun collecting other toys recently and although my first love has always been SW I feel I've pretty much completed what I set out to do with it and it's nice to look in my cabinet at a diverse collection of vintage and modern toys. It's kept things fresh for me and I know you recently starting picking up some Ghostbusters items again so maybe you'll find something else of interest in this area. All the best with what ever you decide to do and I'm sure you'll be keeping an eye on here and other places that you visit as it must be hard not to after giving so much time to it over the years. I'm not sure if the plan is for you to complete your book project but hopefully all the hard work's already been done and you can still put it out, it would be a shame for it not to with all the work I suspect you've already put into it. As long as you and yours are all well and good then that's the main thing. There really are a lot more things out there that are important in life and when a hobby stops being fun it's time to have a rest from it or find something else that brings a smile to your face. You'll be missed but I'm pretty sure you're not going to disappear. Ian [/QUOTE]
