So this forum is a little oasis and a friendly place for SW collectors of all ilks
We all have our own perceptions and collecting preferences that change over time, vintage, modern, mixed.
The new films that have been produced have entreated differing views and opinions.
But for me the core value of vintage collecting is collecting items fro 30 plus years ago that make me smile and give me a sense of satisfaction and a warm feeling that I have items from the past that I can display for my benefit that I can smile at, research, source new items, go off on collecting tangents and put together an eclectic collection that I am happy with and can look at and smile at daily.
What is the driver now for collectors, is it collecting as their juices are flowing from the new films, or is it collecting because you have done. It for many years and the OT had such an effect on you ( probably subtle and unnoticed but there all the same )
I have a number of reasons for collecting, but the main reason is the " better times, simpler times" ethos
What are others opinions on this , why do you collect.?
Do you collect just SW vintage
Vintage and modern
Other vintage
What floats your boat?
Apologies if you think this is a pointless subject, but it intrigues me as I know what I love and why I collect but would be interested to know what drives others ?
Personally SW for me is an iconic and pivotal part of my life ( sounds serious I know, but it is) I spend a lot of time online on the forum and on eBay looking for and sourcing items for my collection, I collect with my son, so that's another level to why I do it
As said, it intruiges me as to what drives collectors today and I would be intersted to hear opinions
Apoplogies again if this seems a pointless post but I would like to hear some opinions
