Hello, new guy here. From Richmond, VA. I've been a fan ever since I first saw A New Hope in the theater way back in the '70's. I've been collecting SW toys and other memorabilia off and on (mostly off) for quite a while now. Looks like these forums are quite vast and there is plenty for me to read for a while.
Welcome JoeTattoo! In the 70th? Then you belong to the big crowd of the first generation of SW fans! Cool that you've found your way to us! Have you found a place to stay already? Or do you like to have advices? Since this board, where you posted this thread originally, isn't the best fitting one, I'll move it over to 'Welcome New Users'. But this shouldn't stop you from visiting FanForce Community or to join the quick games over there. See you around.
Welcome JoeTattoo! I also saw ANH when it first came out in the '70s. I used to live in Stafford, Virginia. I really liked it there.
