    A long time ago in a galaxy far far away a Star Wars Toy Collecting Fan Club started. Actually it didn?t happen to far away?.a new star wars toy collecting fan club based in the Metro Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland area. Come to think of it, the club didn?t start long ago?.it is just now taking flight.

    Hello Fellow Star Wars fans. Are you tired of endless toy hunts trying to find the latest Star Wars figures and coming home empty handed? Maybe you would like to split the price of a case of Star Wars figures with someone reliable? Perhaps you would just like to find people in the local area to make good trades with? And maybe you would like to have people you can count on who can pick you up a figure if they see one you are looking for? Well if this sounds like something that interests you, please join a brand new Star Wars action figure collectors group.

    If you are interested in joining a Star Wars action figure club and you live in the DC, VA, and MD please visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dcswcc and sign up for the list. I would really like to find fans of Star Wars and Star Wars figures who can help each other out so we can cut out overpriced figures on ebay. Plus it seems like more and more peg warmers are keeping us from getting the new figures when they are released. Maybe with a club like this we can help each other out and make sure we have a better shot at getting these hard to find figures.

    Please visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dcswcc to Sign up for the DC Metro Area Star Wars Collecting Club.


    MTFBWY,

    This is from a long time ago... I told them to post it but no one seemed interested. :( I've been on their list for a while. Haven't been able to make it to a meeting though.

    The people at DCSWCC are completely awsome. they are a fun group with a passion for collecting that would make Crazy Mike look like a novice.

    I don't know if I'd say they'd make Mike look like a novice but they are in his same league (i.e. bigger than my collection is several cases).

    And as Tim said, they are a great group and very generous. I was afraid that it'd be a bunch of scalpers at first but they sold things for the prices they paid for them (less in some instances).

    Hey! :)

    I really wanted to go to this today, but I had some other obligations to take care of, and besides, I'm pretty short on money. Oh well; I'll make it next time. :)
