For collectors of Star Wars memorabilia?

Question

Are there any fans out there who would like to share stories about their collections?

I collect vintage action figures and vehicles. I also have some newer items, such as the mini-busts from Gentle Giant. Are there any clubs for collectors of such items?

Answer 1

I don't know of any specific Star Wars collectors clubs but I would like to! starwars.com or theforce.net might be a good places to start looking, especially for anything local.

I love to talk about my collection!
I collect pretty much anything Star Wars that catches my attention or pertains to Boba Fett, Jango Fett, Clone Troopers, or Mandalorians in general. I also have an impressive 110+ Star Wars book collection, mostly paperback but a few hardcovers. My collection consists of action figures, autographs, cereal boxes/displays, ornaments, diecast vehicles, models, books, PEZ dispensers, posters, helmets and just about anything else you can think of. My latest accquisition is a vintage metal Star Wars lunchbox my dad sent me for my recent birthday.
Prized collectibles of mine: an autographed pic of Jeremy Bulloch as Boba Fett, a copy of You Can Draw Star Wars book signed by two artists that put the book together; Tom Hodges and Matt Busch, and also a signed copy of Sacrifice by Karen Traviss (got to meet Tom, Matt and Karen at a Sacrifice booksigning back in May).
I also have a signed copy of Dark Force Rising by Timothy Zahn, and I also found an autographed copy of Shadows of the Empire #2 comic signed by Jeremy Bulloch (great find at a local flea market).

...I don't have any of the Gentle Giant busts. I'd have to save up for something like that, but someday...
AND possibly someday I'll have my own little Star Wars room to display everything--the computer desk is crowded enough, and most of the stuff is packed away. :P

Thanks for the question: now I can let it out a bit and not annoy my significant other. ha ha
