[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 452681, member: 7379"] Like many collectors I'm sure, for me it's the pure Star Wars nostalgia. I love Star Wars. I have always loved Star Wars. I loved it when I first saw it as a child of 6 in 1978, and I still love it now. It's hard to overstate just what a fundamental part of my formative years Star Wars played. The original trilogy came out during my childhood, a childhood that in many ways revolved around Star Wars toys. Nothing I have ever owned has such a powerful grip over me. I don't own them now because they're valuable or collectible. I don't own them because some pieces are rarer or more popular than others. I don't own them because other people do or because it's currently in vogue to. I own the toys because I love the toys. I would love them if they were worthless, collected by no-one else and if everyone took the piss out of me for it. When I look at my collection, I see the very best part of my childhood looking back at me. What do I love most in the hobby? The toys that fired my imagination as a child and hold me in their thrall still. [/QUOTE]
