COLLECTING STAR
WARS
With all this said, I would like to hear what your most prized possession is. I would also like to see a picture of it, if you have the ability of sharing a picture online with us. Feel free to submit your entry and photo in this thread in our forums.

I think it
would be fair to say that we all here have a pretty good collection
of Star Wars items, whether that consists of toys (vintage or
recent), movies (originals or “improved”), books, comics, music,
advertising products, costumes and so many other categories. But if
someone were to ask you what your most prized possession would be in
your collection, what would it be? How long would it take you to
reply with an answer? Would it be the most valuable piece in your
collection? Would it be something that you owned as a child? Would
it be something that simply brings back memories of your childhood?
Would it be the biggest item in your collection?
Personally,
I would have to say my most prized possession these days would have
to be my sandtrooper armor. I chose that item as my most prized
possession for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it was a
gift from my wife celebrating our five-year wedding anniversary. I
honestly thought I would never have armor to go trooping in, but
those dreams and fantasies have all turned into a reality. Secondly,
I love my armor for the mere fact that it truly makes me a
sandtrooper. Not only do I work for the best Star Wars site on the
Internet, which happens to be Sandtroopers.com, but I also can
proudly say that I am a sandtrooper serving the Empire (TD1043 to be
exact). And lastly, I have made so many new friends because of my
armor. Ever since I joined up with the Midwest Garrison and the
501st Legion, I have participated now in three events with them, and
each one makes me feel so proud to be a Star Wars fan.
