How old are you guys that are buying Star Wars stuff?
JMclain1
I'm just curious. I'm 25 and still collect and was wondering what the age
group is that are buying Star Wars. I would think that the younger kids
wouldn't know anything about the trilogy? Just wondering?

In article <537a77$k...@newsbf02.news.aol.com>, jmcl...@aol.com says...
I'm 30 (31 in November), divorced, have a 3yr old son in another state, and kind
of co-habitate with my girlfriend. I was 11 when ANH came out in 1977 and was
at the premier of ESB and ROTJ the night they opened in '80 and '83. I have a
very small collection of the old toys which includes a complete large Darth Vader
and an incomplete large Chewie, and small 3PO and R2. My POTF2/SOTE collection
today far out numbers my old collection. I must say that I do like the new
stuff better except for the "action" poses. I do wish the new figures had
straight legs like the original figures. I too am curious as to the age of
some of the people who post on here. Just my .02...

I'm 20 and I don't remember too much of ANH in theaters. I do
remember ESB and RoTJ in theaters. I recall that my first figure was
C-3PO. I still have him, minus gold paint and one hand. My 2 favorite
figs were(are) Boba Fett and Hammerhead. I still have these two figs as
well.
I'm currently collecting POTF2 and Action Fleet. Before POTF2
came out, I was collecting Toy Biz Marvel Figs.I open my figs and play
with them. This causes my roomate to question my sanity, although he
played along once. I plan on collecting SW as long as things I like come
out.
Peace,

Looks like I am the senior citizen. I am 35 and and I was 15 when I saw
ANH. The line to get into the theater was nearly 2 blocks long. I have 2
kids and both, my 11 year old son and 6 year old daughter, know and enjoy
the trilogy. Infact, most of my son's friends are Star Wars fans.

I,m 16, and I have never seen the movies in theaters, Although Ill be
going to the re-released ones. However, I buy all the books toys and
whatever I can get my hands on
sdg
25, and vividly remember seeing the trilogy in the theatres way back
when.
The best memories are of the double features they had when Empire came
out, and then the triple features when Jedi was released. Six hours
in a theatre, watching one film after another.....ah, memories! (and
sore legs!)
I collect the old stuff, and finally completed my collection of the
original ships and figures. I buy some of the new stuff as well, if
it is well done and doesn't look ridiculous, like the steroid-enhanced
Luke and Han.
The difference between collecting today and memories of buying the
stuff when I was a kid? Back then, there were row after row of
figures, and there wasn't any of this short packing crap or hoarding..
You could find any figure you want, and any ship you wanted was also
there. Also, when they said a figure or ship was going to be
released, it was on the shelf within days. And Kenner shipped to
everywhere at the same time, so wherever you went they had the same
stuff.
The funniest thing about collecting? That people who buy the stuff
today think that the POTF2 will be worth a lot in the future.
Erik A Hansen
I'm 20, and saw the rerelease of ANH 13 times in the theater.
Not really sure if I saw the original release. My mom
took me to see ANH evry weekend for a month to see a matinee.
I've now got an 8 year old brother (9 in a week) who is
more exicited than me about collecting SW toys. I work
at an afterschool program and it seems that most kids have
seen the movies or have them, but not to interested in the
toys. Yo-Yos are the in thing now.

Well I am 15,and my parents tell me that I went to see ESB when I was
eight months old. They said I fell asleep, so I guess The movie
influenced me through subliminal(SP?) messages. I collect mostly the
new stuff, but I have some old figures as well. My first figure I got
was Wicket, I also got a speeder bike. The only reason I got these is
that my cousins were and still are into Star wars, and I wanted that
cute little Ewok. I remember flying him around on the speeder bike like
the scene in ROTJ. He always lived, even after slamming into trees, he
must have been super Ewok or something:). My favorite older figure is
the Jawa, or Yoda. I love the cloth capes they had. My favorite newer
figure, that I have, up to today is, um Boba Fett.

I'm 17 and saw ROTJ in the theatre I can barely remember it. I had a few
of the toys that were my brothers and my favorite figure was Luke Jedi

enough.

I'm 21, and that makes me about 2 1/2 when ANH came out in '77. I kinda
remember seeing ANH later when it was re-released before Empire back in
1979, because my my mom was pregnant with my little brother (now 16), and
she would go over to her mom's (my grandma's) house to do "baby" stuff,
and one day, my dad and I went to see AHN at the local theater. Later
that Christmas, ALL I wanted was Star Wars Stuff...from toys to bed
sheets to curtains to SW Under-roos.
When Empire came out the next year, my mom and my dad were getting
divorced, so to help, my dad took me to see Empire. I guess they thought
it would be good for me to be in a fantasy world for awhile, to get away
from all the problems. I remember hearing the Wampa-roar, and seeing him
jump out to attack Luke, and I jumped on my Dad in his seat!
When ROTJ came out, my mom took me and my brother to see it. He was only
3, but he wound up demanding to get all the SW toys I got. I rember the
first ROTJ figure I got was General Madine, because he was the only one
on the racks after everyone else grabbed stuff off the shelf. When I
turned 9, my mom was REALLY strapped for money during my b-day, so we
went to the local Albertson's grocery store (they had SW figs! Really!),
and on the way to the toy aisle, I told my mom all I wanted was Leia in
her Boussh costume, because I thought the removeable mask was just so cool!
Well, when we go to the aisle, there was Leia in her Boussh costume!
Eventhough that was the only present I was able to get from her, I was happy.
Now, I have the trilogy, and all the new figs (except HanTrooper), and
just as happy as I could be. When I bought my Leia as Boushh SOTE fig, I
thought back to that birthday, and just smiled.
-Jeff Jensen
P.S. Just something on my mind: If I could have any SW fig product that
I could imagine, I would have 2 different 4-fig packs, set up like this:
Rebel Leaders:
General Dodonna
General Willard
General Madine
Mon Mothma
Empire Officers:
General Tagge
General Motti
Admiral Piett
General Veers
...It would be nice to have leaders to boss around the figures...
maytheforcebewithyou....
Chris Georgoulias
ok, i'll play along. i'm 26. got into heavy-duty collecting in 1990. i saw
all the movies in the theatre and grew up in the heyday of sw. i was 7 when
i saw sw. i distinctly recall the line for jedi being wrapped around the
theater and then having to leave because it was sold out. i saw it later on, so
it was no biggie. i remember the holiday special on tv, but my dad wanted to
watch an animal show so i only got to see like a few seconds here and there when
there was a commercial break. i saw it 16 years later though. it sucked.
i didn't really play with my old toys, i just bought them and set them up. i
still have many boxed vehicles and playsets in fantastic condition that i bought
at retail back in the late '70's / early '80's. i sold off lots of stuff in
order to buy the figures carded. i enjoy the packaging. the logos, the names,
the photos, the offers, the backs. the whole thing.
i've gone overboard on collecting. i primarily collect the old carded figures
but i do pick up the new ones just to have. i also go bonkers for prototypes
from the old toy line, especially figure-related ones.
i have spent an obscene amount of money on my collection, so i will readily
admit that i care about values. it's not the reason i collect, but it is fun to
see the prices rise and nice to know how they are being more and more sought
after.
i have noticed that most collectors nowadays are in the 20-30 year old range
since these were the folks that grew up with it. there are many older folks in
to it which is cool. i think the new involvement with teenagers and younger
folks these days is cool. but i hate to see them get duped on paying scalper
prices for new toys.
i'm also a hound for information on sw collecting and i have tried to amass a
nice stockpile of books and magazines on the subject. i also have a scrapbook
of every cool thing that has ever shown up in toy shop magazine. for folks that
read that magazine they can uderstand what an undertaking that is. i have
everything dating back to 1991. and i mean *every* cool and unusual sw piece
that has ever shown up. countless hours reading, rereading, rerereading and
clipping ads from various places. some stuff has shown up in there that has
never been seen before or since. that's how big of an info-hound i am.
plus i love the art and act of collecting. i love to find the really rare stuff.
that's why i got into prototypes. i got to toy shows as often as possible, i
network with folks all over the place. i love to swap info. i love to find out
about stuff that few people know about. and i love to share that info with
people. that's why i contribute to the sw collector's archive. keeping
collectors informed is the best way to battle ripoffs and scams and keep the
hobby fun and interesting.

13... I was a few months old when ROTJ came out and apparently was
never able to see it in a theater, although I might have. I don't
remember that far back. :) I mainly collect the original figures and

have him because he was free.

I'm 24 and lost all of my originals in a house fire so now I collect the
new stuff. I'm not a collector for value sake or whatever. If I wanted
to do that I'd just buy stock. I collect the new stuff because I like it.
I'm also one of those obnoxious guys who takes everything out of the

I'll be 17 in about a week.. most of the people I talk to who are into
Star Wars are either under 12 or over 20 though. However, on AOL, there
are Star Wars SIMS (like RPGS) and most of the people who play those are

like buying toys than I ever had before.(yes I was autistic).It's a real
blast.Every time I get a new toy price guide,I look up all my figures and realize
I am a Millionaire(on paper at least) Then I look on this newsgroup and realize it
is all a pipedream.Oh well,Can't afford real estate.Truly though, I am having a
real good(expensive) time. JOn

Cool Thread. I'm 27, and I can remember seeing all 3 movies in the
theatres. A couple of the things I can remember the most were the long
lines we all waited in to see ESB and ROTJ (I can't remember the lines
for ANH, guess I was too excited about seeing the movie). The other is
the first year ANH was out, the local JC Penney had Darth Vader signing
autographs upstairs near Santa. The lines for that went all the way
upstairs, they turned off the escalator, and the line continued out the
west entrance of the store and into the parking lot, which was at least
200 or more yards away. As a 7 year old, seeing Darth Vader (he was
soooo big) was one of the biggest thrills of my young life.

seeing ANH in the theatre, but for some wierd reason I remember seeing
the holiday special. As for ESB and ROTJ i saw them both in the theatre
(I also saw ROTJ in the Drive-in). I also remember playing kick-droid
with the remote R2 at Wal-Mart beck when they used to have those open toy
fairs (too bad they don't do that now). I started collecting again back
in 90'. I started with the only things I had left (2 plush ewoks, Yoda
Puppet, and ROTJ lunchbox). By 94, I had all of the figures, and all of
the vehicles, among other things. Unfortunately, I had to sell them to
pay for school (I nearly twisted my own neck). I now collect ther Micro
Collecting, and the New Kenner stuff. Oh, I also collect some prototypes
and I have the 1991 Data East Star Wars pinball machine. I love that
thing :)
Happy Collecting,

Well, I'm 22.
I was 3yrs old when i saw Star Wars in its original release at a Drive-in.
It is my fondest childhood memory. I can remember my father have to read
the opening to me for i was too young and could not yet read the large
words.
After that i was not only hooked on Star Wars but was spoiled rotten by
realitives
giving me Toys a holidays and birthdays. I remember opening Clothing
boxes
FILLED with figures. An yes, i still have it all, every last bit of it
stored away in the attic thanks to parents who were smart enough to save
boxes...or at least SOME
boxes.
But now with the re-release and the NEW toys, I feel just like a kid
again.
Now being an Illustrator i can project my Star Wars memories onto paper.
which IS something i do in my spare time between projects.

Well......I'll be 31 in November. I have been collecting since I saw
Star Wars in 1977. I have a pretty nice collection of the older stuff.
I kept most of my playsets in their boxes when I wasn't playing with
them. The majority of my figures are loose, but some the later ones I
purchased, like original POTF, are still on their cards. I'm also,
pretty up to date on the new stuff (my credit card bills can vouch for
that!). I don't know what I would do with Star Wars, it's such a part of
my life. I guess I'd just be a lot richer.....

I am 31 years old. Saw ANH at 12, still have my ticket stubs and since
I still live in the same city I plan on going to the re-releases in the
same theaters! My favorite Star Wars memories are of a SW theme birthday
party (14th I believe), including a R2-D2 cake, I even have a picture of
me, the cake, the R2-D2 model and the R2-D2 Kenner figure, guess you can
say R2-D2 is my favorite character. My second favorite memory consists
of attending the ANH re-release, watching *all* the screening for two days
solid, feeding my face with Sees Candy suckers and the cookies from Darth
Vader's Activity Book (I even baked them myself).
As a side note, in this month's Green Lantern (#81) the associate editor
Eddie Berganza states at the end of the letter column, "Only five more
months until I can take my kids to see Star Wars in the theaters! Wahoo!".

I'm 26.
The first time I saw Star Wars (that's what I call it,
not "ANH," *long live Hammerhead*) was with my
mother in 1977 when I was 7. We arrived late, when Leia
was giving her message to R2, so I didn't saw the
whole scrolling intro thing until later.
I don't remember when I first saw Empire, but I remember
that I read both Empire and Jedi before I saw the movies.
And that still didn't ruin it for me. I also remember
waiting in a huge line when I was 13 (with my mom again)
in the rain to see Jedi at some point during it's first
week.
The first Star Wars toy I had was a Chewbacca figure that
I found at recess in the 2nd grade. I still have it (it has
no crossbow), but I also have a loose complete one. I also
remember playing with several Jawas at school and losing one
in the rocks (not a vinyl cape one, that I'm sure of).
Other memories - getting the Death Star playset (the coolest
toy ever). I still have it, along a picture of me on Christmas
Day with the thing all put together. I also remember getting
the 12-inch Luke on Christmas and losing the grappling hook
that same day and the lightsaber not long after. Leia's
gun was the only other accessory I ever lost, but I picked up
a replacement somewhere along the way when I was given someone's
collection.

My big brother took me to see Stars Wars in 1977. As he saw it the night
before, he told me it was the greatest movie. Boy, was he ever right.
Waited in line in 1980 with friend's from 8th grade to see the Empire
Strikes Back on its opening day. Still remember hearing that famous line
for the first time vividly "NO, I AM YOUR FATHER!"
Saw Return of the Jedi with a cute date from high school. I loved the
film. She said it was too much of a guy's movie. Oh well...

when I got out of that theater I couldn't stop talking about that movie.
One day I went to the theater by myself and sat through Star Wars 5
times. I couldn't get enough of it. The story and character are great.
When I saw the toys I wanted them all but of course I was a little kid
with no money. Still my parents got me a good amount which I have
recently pulled out of the closet and have set them up in my room once
again. I have been spending alot of time at this newsgroup trying to
find the old toys that I didn't have and my collection is growing while
my savings is going terribly in the red. Oh well. I have my toys.
Well, if you have read this far, thanks for reading. If you would like
to write me, please do. I love talking about Star Wars.
Thanks,
