Hi All!

I'm new to the board, but not to collecting as it's been a pretty big part of my life, on and off, for the past 20 years.

I started off with a few loose figures, back in 1995 - before I'd ever been on line - and aquired a nice little collection through shows and Model & Collectors Mart. I remember buying a 12 back Vader for £90 and being casual given the choice of 'Kenner or Palitoy'!

Then the internet revolution happened to me (remember going onto yahoo and being able to get your actual name - rather than max72563783?!). After a couple of years online, I'd embraced overseas transactions and put together a few nice pieces - Revenge Mini-rigs, a 3 pack, an earlybird kit (with a sealed DT Luke for £300 or so!), a few proof cards and 11 of the 12 Palitoy '12back' figures. I remember meeting a chap at the NEC to buy a 12 back Palitoy Luke for £500!

I tend to churn things over a little as focus' and interests change, and they did, so the above went and I did other things for a while, until I was drawn back into Proof Cards. I managed to again put together a decent little collection with some real rarities. But once again, life moved on, I wanted to buy a house, and I ended up selling everything to fund a deposit.

I didn't really collect for a few years, although I took a last minute flight to CE2 in Germany to meet Mark Hammill and get his signature, which was something I'd regretted not doing since CE in London.

I suppose SW collecting must be in your veins; as two house moves later I'm back with the itch!

So Hi! I'm sure there are some old faces around still, who I might know, and might know me - but hi to everybody. I've lost a lot of brain cells since I was last collecting, so be gentle if I ask some dumb questions.
