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.

Welcome to the forums Alex

Hello alex and welcome. It is great to see the younger generation showing their passion for the hobby.

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

Welcome Andrew

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.

Hi Sam, nice to see you here.

Almost incurable. Just run with it

Hey Andrew and Sam, good to meet you both!

Hey everyone, thought I would drop in & say hello.
Good to have a local forum to look at, I don't troop but love collecting & mucking around with full 1:1 SW props, I have a humble little collection a the moment but have some cool things in the pipeline!
Cheers,
Colin
