New to the forum, and got directed here by Bazzack
...I was lurking in the toy thread...
Been a Star Wars fan since I was a kid, and as of recently I started getting back in to it...with a vengence!!!
My first taste would of been ROTJ @ the movies, and then Caravan Of Courage also @ the movies! (I can't remember if I was just too young to understand and enjoy it...or if I hated it because it was hot trash. Tangy Fruits were off the hook!), and then ANH & TESB.
Meanwhile...I'm a Street Fighter fanatic! Games, Comics, Anime, Toys...and I go back to my Mum's looking for my old G.I.Joe - Street Fighter figures when I find a small collection of my brother's original Star Wars toys!!! A small metal die cast Slave 1 & Millennium Falcon, Vader with his cape missing and looking anorexic, 3PO but most of the gold has flaked off, and a Leia that I must have attacked with a vivid because I thought it was weird that my brother had a girls toy. hey...I was a kid...and most of the time I was stealing my brother's Star Wars gear, and trading it at school for Hot Wheels & C.O.P.S toys..
Time has moved on, and I'm older...but I'm a huge kid at heart, and still love toys, and while looking for Street Fighter stuff online, I stumbled across the new Black Series 6" figures!!!
After finding my brother's stuff, and then discovering these new 6" figures, I start searching online as to where I can find them...and now I'm here!!!
Man...I'm so hyped about Star Wars all over again!!!
Started watching all the films again...forced my partner to watch them...
(she's a bit younger than me, but a Big Bang Theory fan, so it wasn't too hard to convince her that there's a bunch of inside jokes that she wouldn't understand unless she watched the films. hehe)
So yeah...that's me!
