[QUOTE="elcroz, post: 363153, member: 5664"] I have considered collecting Droids (& Ewoks) in the past to be a 'completist' (it's vintage, it's Star Wars and its 3/34 size - so why not!) but there is no real pull for me to do it. Once people have collected their loose or MOC run and are satisfied with their collection the only other things left to do is start a character focus, hunt down variants or choose to collect Droids and/or Ewok toys. I don't own any Droids figures. I would happily accept the R2 & 3PO figures as a gift but would never actively pursue them. I don't have any real attachment to the TV show. I remember watching it as a little kid waiting for a Han Solo, Chewie or Luke cameo but it never came so I was left deflated every time (admittedly I didn't realise at the time that the events of the show took place prior to Ep.IV). As for collecting one could never really own the entire collection of Droids due to the rarity and price of the Vlix action figure so to me to have all the figures apart from one makes me not want to even bother anyway, the gap where Vlix would be would do my head in. Keep up the good work Retroblasting! [/QUOTE]
