	The old threads locked so I thought I should start A new one as it was always fun to read! Mine confession is that last year I was at one of my friends houses and I've been building my stormtrooper army, he had 2 stormies sitting in the bottom of a draw of his computer desk, he wouldn't let me have them so I pinched them.... I fell a bit stink about it now. But it's all good. -----signature----- http://www.alldayshow.com check it out xD AHBY

	This is nothing too "Exciting" but before I got into Star wars, the very first Star Wars toy I got, I stole from a local grocery store -----signature----- "genius is when a new idea causes an overwhelming response"- Kanye West My Myspace!: http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user

	Ok, I'll confess. I want to steal that R2 Droid that came in the Hoth 4 Pack. Hey, by the way, where are all you thieves that stole the Red R2 from the Queen's Royal Starship back from Episode 1.

	Can't say that I've ever stolen anything Star Wars in the past, and no plans to in the future... The closest I come to having guilt about a SW acquisition would be the time I got a bunch of SW stuff from a guy for well below what it was worth as he didn't know what he had... -----signature----- Sarah Lisbeth, Born October 5, 2002 8:17AM EST May God bless her and keep her safe all her life.

	Please don't hate me for what I'm about to confess: I sold silver Fetts on eBay over the summer for significantly more than I paid for them. But I have justification! The night before the Star Wars breakfast/Origins convention in Columbus, OH this past summer I was in a terrible car accident. I spent 8 hours in the emergency room until about 2am, and I had to leave at 3am to get to Columbus in time for the breakfast. Like pain was going to stop me from meeting Mike Stackpole! My injuries in the accident rendered me unable to work all summer, so I used the money I got from selling my extra Fetts for school this year. So yes, I was a scalper, but a scalper who really needed the money. I've never stolen anything Star Wars or paid an insanely low price for something out of a seller's ignorance. -----signature----- http://www.livejournal.com/users/tyraliarose

	Nothing to hate there! I remember you from the breakfast- it was awesome seeing Mike again- he's so cool! And it was great meeting other SW fans from around the country Jeff "Please don't hate me for what I'm about to confess: I sold silver Fetts on eBay over the summer for significantly more than I paid for them.

	Roseanna you did what you had to do and the fact that you are telling us is commendable You have some of my crazy DNA in you My worst secret..... hmmmm.... Well I got into some major bidding wars for Gold Yoda Cans on EBay, $60-90 per can for 3 cans. I accidentally opening a carded skiff guard dude ( I cannot remember his name ) you know the rare one with the slide. I put him in the pile of figures to be opened I realised about 20 minutes what I had done. The worst though was spending 2600 in 5 hours. 11am: I had a Jango helmet made for me several months back and I had to pay up, $600. 1pm: I get an email from a friend to tell me that he has just bought me a mother load of SW stuff $500. 4pm I then get a call from another buddy saying Mike I can get you a life size Maul and Watto right now and free shipping. He was driving into Toronto that evening $1500. -----signature----- You will always be in my heart Nick

	I think the most embarrassing thing I've ever done is hide figures somewhere in the store when I don't have the money for them . Hey, I can't get to the stores in the morning cause of school, so it's rare I do find anything when I can. I don't usually leave it there for long, mostly I come back next day with the $$. -----signature----- "the Force is between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere..."

	Awesome thread, YouAgain! LOL @ Mike!!!!! Can't say that I've ever stolen anything Star Wars in the past, and no plans to in the future... The closest I come to having guilt about a SW acquisition would be the time I got a bunch of SW stuff from a guy for well below what it was worth as he didn't know what he had...

	I worked at Kaybee Toys christmas of 95 and only gave out SW figures to those who werent collectors. Of course Every Spawn Collector had to kiss up or else they werent getting the silver Spawn characters that were KB exclusives. God I loved that power. The power over peoples collections. Be nice or else you aint getting anything.

	In the spring of '98, I swiped a RH Vader from the top shelf of a Target store. Apparently, an employee stashed it up there, thinking no one would find it. Well I stretched out my 6-foot-3 frame and saw it. [Nelson] HA HA [/Nelson] -----signature----- How I rank the Star Wars movies: 1. ANH; 1. ESB; 1. ROTJ; 1. TPM; 1. AOTC; 1. ROTS

	Well, I was at wal-mart in Paducah, Kentucky one late night in early March of 2002. It was about 3:30 am and I was just wondering around. When I looked to the Top shelf and saw Star Wars Episode II Action Figures. So I Grabbed the longest thing I could find, Which was an American flag and Started to knock a few off of the top shelf. Then I found the 12 inch figures. I bought Boba Fett, Plo Koon and Obi Wan and the 12 inch Anakin all in Early March. Over a month before they were supposed to come out. Well, I went back 2 days later and they were still there. So, I Picked up the 12 inch Obi Wan and took it to the Check out lane. This Guy Started getting all mad at me, He was like"You arn't supposed to be buying these yet! How did you get this!?" So, I took it back to the isle, found a sticker barcode off of something that was the same price and went to a different check out lane. I had no trouble after that. I wouldn't have done that if the check-Out guy wouldn't have been such a jerk to me. But Oh-Well -----signature----- Yuri A. Rentfro rodan70@hotmail.com www.myspace.com/yuriwankenobi
