Hey everyone!

I'm Alex, and I'm probably relatively young compared to most on this board(16). My first memory of Star Wars is finding a Phantom Menace VHS tape and, for absolutely no reason at all, putting it into the videoplayer. The film was a magical experience; it gave me all the feelings that older people assert to their first viewing of A New Hope.

In terms of collecting, I generally pick and choose from all over the board. I do have a focus, however, in the now discontinued Clone Wars animated line. I loved the show and find the figures aesthetically pretty cool. Also have a soft spot for Phantom Menace figures and the Separatist faction in general. :p

Hi Everyone

I'm Andrew, but most people call me Green, or some variation there of.
I'm 23, but have been a Star wars fan ever since I can remember! I am particularly fond of ESB. I have a reasonable collection of Star wars lego, with my fav being my UCS AT-ST. Also have an Obi-wan EP3 Master replicas Force FX saber, will be looking for a vader one sometime in the future.

I have been hanging out with the 501st guys down here for a few years, and last year joined the ranks with a olive line officer based off general veers.

Cheers

Hey team.

I'm Sam from Wellington and I've met some of you at Auckland 'Geddon 2013 or Matt's place afterwards where I trooped as a TK for the first time. At the event, not Matts, obviously. Grammar... sigh. Since then I've done the second birthday of Ronald McDonald House, and the Welly santa parade.

I submitted for approval yesterday, so with any luck I'll be official shortly, and then onto the next costume....

I've lurked on these forums a while (spend most of my time over in the 501st) but when I saw the X-Wing pilot costume for sale I knew I had to get around to registering so I could signal my interest. Last year for SW day I made a homemade pilot costume which was really cool, but not very canon.This costuming is a bit of a bug isn't it? :)

Anyway, look forward to seeing you all around.
