Toy Lines I Collect: Star Wars and Lord of the Rings
My fascination with Star Wars began in 1995. The POTF2 line just began, and I recieved most of the main characters that Christmas. My parents bought me the Original Trilogy when it was re-released in the same year, and I've watched them ever since.
At some point, I started to lose interest in Star Wars (Trust me, I'm as shocked as the rest of you
), but my faith was rekindled when Episode I was released. I stayed out of the collecting game until the tail-end of the POTJ line, when I bought some of the last figures in the line. It was that summer that I found my way to a little old site known as Rebelscum. I don't know how many of you knew of me back in August '01, but I was there. It was at 'Scum that I met JediPadawan, whom I befriended. He invited me to his new forum for the aptly-named "Colemaniacs"...yadda, yadda, yadda...JediDefender was started and, well, here I am.
