Any Star Wars Nerds ?

Any fellow SW Nerds in here ? I still have a box full of cards and figures from the prequels in boxes, though all my toys from the original trilogy were discovered by my kids and even more worn and used now.

Anyone going to SW celebration in Anaheim/LA in 2015 ? Just gauging interest. Thinking of going. My bro already has tix.

Love to...however, live in the great NW...
Still have my first SW card sets...Have most of the Red, most of the Yellow, and have ALL of the green.
Still have over half of my iron on book.
Have an original May the Force be with you iron on still in paper holder...

Lost all of my original action figures...had Luke, a Jawa, R2, and Darth...probably still in Hawaii somewhere...
Still have the original Star Wars Comic Books, entire first run.
Soooo...YES...I FLY THAT NERD FLAG!!!

I'm PAcific NW too .. I am even allowed to buy Seahawks vs 49ers tix ! But I am going to go I think.

I had two Star Wars #1, firt print, first run. Sold them for pennies when in a pinch as a dumb High Schooler

Still have the original Land Speeder and Millenium Falcon toys .. in my 4 year olds room.

I'm not a giant Star Wars nerd, but I do really like the universe and I've seen all the movies. I'm still part of a Star Wars D20 table top campaign once a week, been doing that since about a year ago.

So while I can't tell you every tiny detail about SW, I really like it, and I had to do a ton of research to really understand the story for the D&D game.

I also own over $1200 worth of lightsabers.

Not sure how to reconcile those 2 statements.

Been reading up on how to make one for myself...can get the all the part...current issue is I have never played around with a metal lathe. KNOW how to use a Wood Lathe, but I will have my father-in-law help me out as I make a custom designed handle out of a metal blank. He has all the metal working tools...just have to learn how to use them (this is all based on IF I can make it cheaper than I can order...we'll see...)

Where did you get your Gel?

Hey Now Jinx .. why make just 1 ? Make 2 !!! please .... someday I may have room in the garage for my tools and can try to accomplish something
