Development of collecting focus . . .
First i wanted to have every vintage figure loose; mint and complete; from Star Wars all the way up to the Droids and the Ewoks series, but as that objective was close to completion, i decided, what the hell, let's get those figures on their first appearance title cards (Luke on SW12, Greedo on SW20/21, Bossk on ESB, Nikto on ROTJ, Gundy on Droids, Dulok on Ewoks...you get the drift...). That lasted all of 5-6 years before i decided to get every character on EVERY cardback produced...the hobby kept sucking me in...and that's where i'm stuck now and i believe will be stuck at for many many years to come...

Fringe items and other toys that interest me
In addition to collecting regular vintage SW figures, i'm also into SW rarities, including; Japanese exclusives (Die Cast figures, disc firing R2, etc...), promotional exclusives (Pedal bike, etc...), store displays, sigma ceramics, related paperwork; movie posters, etc...
Other than SW, i'm also collecting 12" Action Man, GI Joe (1964-1980s), Gerry Anderson merchandise (Thunderbirds, Stingray, Joe 90, Captain Scarlet, Space 1999, UFO, etc...), Japanese toys (Kamen Rider, Gatchaman, Gundam, Captain Future, Henshin Cyborgs, etc...); Superpowers, Megos, Secret Wars, Simpsons...
