    Guess I don't understand the joke, are you in the oil industry?

    Kevin, I mainly collect the action figures and a few vehicles. Seeing as how being a completist can get out of hand, I try to just purchase what I like.

    Yeah, thats me, too. I'm not a completist. I don't have to have every single toy and action figure. If I see a figure that I like...I put out the feelers for it.

    I tend to pick up nearly every 3.75" figure and Unleashed just for the simple fact that I've passed up a few only to come back a few weeks/months later dying to get them and having to pay through the teeth on EBay.

    I stick to 3.75" and Unleashed, I pick up all of those. I grab legos, 12", and ships as they strike my eye. Anything else is on a rare basis, generally it's gifts. Though I did get sucked into the Pepsi can thing from E1.

    I tend to be a "character collector", basically meaning I tend to collect items of my favorite characters (Ewan Obi-Wan, Leia and Darth Maul). Although, some of the higher end items (Kotobukiya, MR sabers and Unleashed, which I know isn't high end but still unique), I'll collect whatever catches my eye.

    My favorite pieces I think are my Obi-Wan AOTC and Darth Maul sabers, my Obi-Wan and Darth Maul Kotobikuyas, my Unleashed figures and some of the more unique stuff like the Palm Talkers, Kubricks, etc.

    I pretty much buy only the figures, and even then I don't get them all, since many are so redundant. I don't buy the ones that really don't fit in the movies anywhere (Bespin Han in handcuffs but still wearing his jacket?)

    I am thinking of refining my collecting to a couple of characters, LEGO kits, props, and posters. The couple of characters I am thinking of are: R2-D2, C3-PO(?), and the Skywalker family. My wife likes the Padme dolls from Ep1 and was disappointed that there weren't ones for Ep2, so I collect Padme stuff that she likes, too.

    I'm not refined.. I'll buy anything that says Star Wars on it. Unfortunately, my Star Wars room is starting to overflow with stuff. I have cut down on buying multiples of figures and such. People also give me whatever they have lying around that says Star Wars on it. I have all kinds of odd things from Japan, which makes my collection more interesting.

    deltau922, the Han think depends on the shot of the frame. In some he still has the jacket on. But all in all I get what you're saying, just had to stick that in. ;)
