in about '98 i got my 1st potf2 stuff. at 1st i only got what i liked, but i soon realized that i liked alot of it, so i decided to get the other 15 or so that i didn't have and go completist. then it seems like there was a lull where no figures were coming out, so i started on the ships. during this phase i was trying to display everything. i had ships on strings and moc figures pretty much wallpapering the room. then we moved and i "wallpapered" a room at the new house, but stopped bothering with the ships. also, about that time i got my 1st vintage figures. brians was selling luke jedi's and vaders for i think $30 each, so i went for it. i immediately noticed that those figures felt much more interesting to me. i continued with the modern like thru all the ep1 and potj figures, but only got a few of the saga ones. i was completely out of room to display anything, and it really felt like hasbro was really stretching... putting out a bunch of figures that very meaningless. that was when i decided to try to finish a vintage carded run. i have about 70 of them now, and probably won't finish for quite a while. the remaining ones are all either expensive or a pain in the ass to find in decent condition. all the modern stuff i have is in boxes in the garage. i need to sell it to fund a yakface.
