The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

Meh, I have a crap ton of original figures along with an original Kenner MF, Xwing and other stuff from my youth. You can keep your leather bound money pits.

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

I didn't mean ultimate as in 'the best', I meant ultimate as in 'who pays out this much money for this' type of idea.

I wish I had held on to my 12" scale Boba Fett (still in box), C3PO and R2D2, as well as the smaller metal ISD, Millenium Falcon and Y-Wing.

The ultimate in Star Wars collectibles would be to purchase one of the actors, and all related costumes and props for them.

I wonder how much Ms. Portman would go for on the open market..... :mrgreen:
I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.

It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.
