Hi everyone. I just registered over here at Jedi Defender although I have been a lurker for a long time. I like what I see over here.
Some of you may recognize me from my posts at scum. My name is really Alex and I'm not really a captain. Captain just a nickname I got when I was younger from friends who use to say I was good at organzing people and leading. It kind of stuck so I countiune to use it to this day.
My home is in Rochester, NY. There is a very active collecting base in Western NY especially in Rochester and Buffalo. For the most part the collectors that I know help one another out and try to stay one step ahead of scalpers.
I mainly collect the 3 3/4 figures, Kotobukiya's, Code 3 Posters, and the Animated Maquette's. My collecting is also focused on store displays big and small. I also like unique and different "kitchie" Star Wars items as well.
I have started to keep a collecting blog with my thoughts on collecting and photos at Captain Alex & the Shrimp Shack Shooters (http://members.fotki.com/CaptainAlex/)
I think you guys run a good forum here and after recent events at scum I think a lot of the bad mouthing of JediDefender I have read/heard over the last year is not warrented.
Keep up the good work. This is a place for collectors!

Hey Alex, good to see you at JD. I'd welcome you but you registered before I did! :) Actually, seeing your first post on these boards is partly what inspired me to join.
See you in the forums!

Lol! Obviously Dale is not the chick in the avatar ;D
Thanks for a name. I just found a webpage with numerous pictures of her.
Oh my :P

Hey Alex, welcome to JD! Glad you've finally joined the "Rebellion", and found the light side of the collecting force... ;)
My Dad was actually born in Rochester, but I'm born and raised in SoCal, so I've been taught to hate N.Y. ever since the '77 World Series. :P That aside, kick up your feet, relax, and enjoy JD. Drop us a line if you've got any questions, comments or suggestions about anything. Looking forward to chatting with you 'round the boards here...

Well after surviving "Order 66 1/2" I decided it was time to start looking for a new place to spend sometime discussing Star Wars collecting without threat or being treated as a child. Hopefully others will hear the homing beacon saying "Go to JediDefender.".

Glad you're here Alex, it's been a long time coming! ;)
:P
