First Time 12" Collectors with the Sideshow Line?

(1/2) > >>

Brian:
I was wondering how many of you are essentially collecting 12" Star Wars figures for the first time with the Sideshow line?  I personally never really collected or was overly interested in the Hasbro 12" line, although I do have a handful.  I received a couple as gifts, and bought a couple of other ones just because I thought they looked cool.  I couldn't afford much beyond the 3 3/4" figures when I first started collecting, so that might have had something to do with it too, but I just never got into the 12" figures too much.

Then, with the Sideshow announcement, I see how amazing their work is and found myself interested.  Maybe part of it was the hype of everyone's comments on the forums as well, but for a while I considered collecting them all from the start - especially after getting in late on so many other lines.  Then, I thought just the OT ones.  Then I realized that I just couldn't afford it and I'm currently trying to decide what to do from here.  It might just be one here or there, or none at all, we'll see.  Definitely in for Han, Chewie (if/when he gets made), and maybe a couple others (if we ever see a Hammerhead).  Anyways, is anyone else basically a first time 12" collector with the Sideshow line?  Is it just the overall quality that has drawn you in, a shift in collecting interests, or both?

I wouldn't say I'm a "first timer" with the Sideshow line given I've picked up one or two of the Hasbro 12" along the way. However I am an avid Sideshow 12' collector and have not, and don't plan on ever, missing a single one that is placed up for preorder.  I guess I could say this is the first 12" line I've committed to collecting though.

The only 12" figure I ever bought was the Han and Tauntaun, so I say I'm a first time 12" collector.  I plan on being a completist with this line.

Here, sorta. I did get the ROTS Palps as a X-mas gift last year. Didn't really want it. But he's sitting on my shelf by himself, until I get some SSC figures.

I used to collect 12" Hasbro figs up till the Hoth wave, but quit about then...

Now though I'm getting into SS 12" due to the militaries line...  My wallet's weeping but I can't pass up sets of the ultimate troopers for the SW universe.  They're too perfect.  Sideshow broke me.
