Greatest collecting moment?

sith-smith · Mar 5, 2007

Since you've started collecting again, which single purchase has filled you with the greatest sense of happines?

I think mine is my first shuttle that I bought just before Christmas in 2000 I think.

Being just before Christmas increased the nostalgia thrill I think 8)

My greatest moment since i started collecting again was travelling to acton parcel force depot to collect my potf yak face and opening it up on the way back to the train station to check for creases as was my worst fear as you never ever know what you might end up with and couldnt wait until i got home and it had none and it made my day

I can't pick one single item as finding a new variant is always a rewarding challenge. 8)

:lol: Reminded me of Kilgore in Apocalypse Now

"......The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end... "

Some great stories guys.

sith-smith · Mar 5, 2007

I do have another.

Going to a shop and seeing the R/C sandcrawler that I'd been after for ages being demonstrated on top of the counter.

I'd wanted one of those since I'd first seen it in a book in 94. Had to wait until 2001 though.

But it was great to finally have something I'd only dreamt about.

I'm going back a fair few years nows, as I stopped collecting donkeys ago.

Watching my boyfriend buy Luke in storm trooper gear from a car boot stall, and me finding the helmet in a box of crap on the same stall.

Top tip....don't collect as a couple. When you split up no cares about who gets the fridge! It's blood and tears over the Star Wars collection though!
