	Mara Jade Fan said it was OK to start a new thread on the topic, just keep it on topic please. Well, I'm a dedicated SW collector. However, I don't believe I'm anywhere near as dedicated as someone I was very fortunate to get to know before she passed away. Yes, I'm talking about our friend padme_skywalkr. Man, she loved collecting. She proudly displayed all of her carded figures on the wall of her bedroom. She was also into SW costumes, a LOT. So yeah, there's quite a few female SW collectors out there. I don't think gender should make a huge difference in this regard... Chanel, you will be forever remembered...

	Thanks for restarting the thread Princess_Tina, and also for mentioning Chanel and that she too was a collector. As I stated in the other thread, there is a link in my Bio to the pictures of my collection. I collect anything and everything with the name Star Wars on it, but I prefer the vintage items... the stuff that was around when I was a kid. -----signature----- My Space: http://www.myspace.com/mara_jade_san_diego

	When I was lifeguarding over the summer, I was telling one of my fellow lifeguards (a guy) about spending my paycheck on SW figures, then another lifeguard (a hot chick) came over and asked what I was talking about. I was kinda embarassed, here's this gorgeous gal who just found out I collect SW stuff. She then launched into a disscussion about her collecting SW, LOTR, and other various lines! Great moment there, folks. -----signature----- "the Force is between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere..."

	I hope you made the best of this situation. Like telling her, "I'll show you mine if you show me yours"? (their collection, that is! )

	Cool thread! I too am a female collector. I was 8 years old when I first saw A New Hope in theatres, and I suppose you could say I've been a collector ever since, because I got a whole slew of Star Wars figures for Christmas that year, as well as the original vinyl album. Now I'm 34, and have amassed quite a collection of stuff...LOL. But I love all of it and it would be very hard to part with it! It's kinda fun though when your boyfriend tells all his friends that his girlfriend has the coolest toys hehehe -----signature----- "Cake or death??

	Make way, nother female collector coming through . I have been collecting since I was 7 (now 15) A lot of people I know are collectors but they're all guys. I'm the only crazed lunitic I know who collects SW and like them for that matter. When I go to toy stores I get a lot of strange looks but oh well.

	You're right, SW collecting isn't just a guy thing. I don't know why some people think it's wierd to see us girls with a big collection. I started mine with four POTF 3 3/4" figures when I was in 7th grade and now I'm a first-year college student and it's nearly taken over my room! BTW, while we're on the subject, have any of you seen/heard of a 13" Darth Vader figure with a cloth cape and has (I believe) three buttons on his back that you push and he says "Luke, help me take this mask off," and two other ROTJ lines? I got it at a flea market about two years ago for $10 and haven't been able to find any information on it anywhere. I'm assuming it was made no earlier than 1983, as he says lines from ROTJ. Does this ring a bell to anyone? ?:\| -----signature----- "Vader is a man behind a mask, and up until now we didn't know who that man was." - Hayden May 19, 2005 - Happiest day of my life!!

	Yea I don't get it either as to why a lot of people think SW is a guy thing. A lot of them just think that we are only in it for the Han/Leia and Anakin/Padme romances but thats not it at all. Heck in '97 I dressed up as C-3PO for Halloween and then this year ('03) I dressed up as a Jedi (no jedi specific) just my own. I dressed up in my Jedi costume to school and got tons of weird looks from guys and girls in general.

I believe it's from the POTF era... sirstevesguide.com is down for maintenance at the moment, I will check later...
