****FanForce Portugal Travels the World****

Hello Jada

I only collect star wars vintage figures. I'm still missing 40 or so figures for a full set. But to tell you the truth, I dont know what I'm going to do when I finish the collection. That tought strikes fear into my soul...

You'll have conquered your quest and then need a new one to keep you occupied.

 

I'm starting that 30th anniversary collection... Got Vader with the coin holder and the Mcquarrie Chewye... it's going to be painfull but worthy...

 

Hoopy! So you guys can actually *move the entire thread* around to various FanForce area forums?

Welcome to Charlotte. I'm new here too so I'll just say I'm Scott - 41 yrs old, Star Wars fan since 1978 (yes one year late to the party!), and Dark Horse Star Wars comics addict. The EU is where it's at baybeeeee

Fare thee well in your travels and thanks for coming to our small corner o' the boards!

 

I'm going to have a very hard time convincing my wife that our office is just right for a collection of some 600 figures/veicules.
Now seriously. I think that once I finish the vintage loose collection I will start to colect carded vintage, I already have some but the prices on those are sometimes unbelivable.

 

It's hard to choose when it comes to collecting. I know I am very picky about what I get. I know we have limited room.

 

I'm not really into the collectiong action-figures thing. I really prefer a shelf full of books and comic books, than three shelves full of action figures. I still don't see the point in having all those action-figures in exposition on our shelves... I mean, it's beautiful but I also think that my SW books are wonderful to show And I have at least two shelves with my Star Wars toys that I have been keeping since I was a kid.

And it is: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

 

I'm collecting some of those. I have the Mc Quarrie concept Stormtrooper.

Did you see DH has got a new one coming out? Star Wars: Vector. Just not sure when it will be out. Soon I hope... Check out the news here.

On another note, I'm looking forward to the new SW book coming out next month, Death Star. And the Darth Bane sequel in December...

 

DeathStar!!! YEY!

Darth Bane Rule of Two Cover is revealed: http://fanforcept.blogspot.com/2007/09/darth-bane-rule-of-two-capa-revelada.html

_Not sure this story will be good at all since the writer isn't given much time to make it...

 

I'm still looking forward to the Bane book. And from looking at the cover I'm wondering if the female is the girl he found at the end of book 1.

_lordmaul, I love books and I'm very selective on my collecting. If I got everything we'd have to buy a warehouse just to house our stuff.

 

Yes, that girl is surely Darth Zannah. At least that's her ligthsaber! Can't wait to read it!

In the last few days I've been reading the Rebellion comic series... I don't like it very much... I mean, why is Luke so good using his lightsaber before the Battle of Hoth? It's so unreal...

 

I haven't started reading the series yet. I thought I had but . . .

 

That's Zannah, A.K.A. Rain.

But she's readheaded... artistic freedom it seems...

 

Maybe she dyed her hair.

 

or maybe the artist had too much Jack Daniel's, Bane looks sissy...

 

Does anyone know what's the release date for Rule Of Two?

 

According to the Amazon.com US site it says the realease date is December 26th 2007. The day after Christmas... hmmmm... anyway, I'm not sure if the release date would be different for Portugal.

 

Doesn't really matter, since these books are never released here, they're all imported...

 

Why the day AFTER Christmas? It would make the perfect Christmas present for that special Sith

 

"It would make the perfect Christmas present for that special Sith"

Who me? aaah... thanks!

 

Hey guys! Time to introduce myself too.

I'm not going to repeat what my Bio already states, though (everyone can go check it, please). I'm one of the longest running Fan Force forum members from Portugal (boy, Feb 2004 sure is a long way away) and I'm not the most active (granted, but whoever reads my bio readily understands that I'm involved with STAR WARS enough to have almost no spare time for that).

Anyway, just to let everyone know that Portugal is already on the Intn'l STAR WARS Club circuit (as it were): since early 2007 (February 9, more exactly) fans and collectors can count on a formal club (the first ever in this side of Europe): the SWCC-PT, STAR WARS Clube de Coleccionadores Portugal where I am the current prez and co-founder and reporter. Oddly enough (or nor, or not...) we are also proud to count members from Brazil and our neighboring Spain among our midst.

Well, that's about it. It's our pleasure to get acquainted with you guys from AZ!

May the Force be with us, always!

Welcome back Fiuza

This is the charm of the Moving Thread! Even brings back long forgotten users!
Since 1999 Fanforce Portugal has been gathering Star Wars fans and we are proud to see Portugal is into the collector's circuit taking a good advantage of efforts.
Hopefully we can project Portugal even further, if we work together. Hopefully the individualism can be gone.

----------------------

Charlotte, did you guys find the Revan Action Figure (30th Anniversary) there?

 

Hello Fiuza! Psst. You're in North Carolina, not Arizona Tucson is our "sister" city.

I can't be sure Ghedi since that is a 3 3/4 figure and I usually don't collect those.

 

Let's play nice

 

Sheessh.. A million sorry's Jada. My "Oops" time... NC it is NOT AZ. Gotcha!
