A Long Time Ago ... I became a Star Wars fan. My love for Star Wars was born when my father took me and my brother to see the original movie at the Regent Theatre in my home town, Great Yarmouth, in January 1978. I was 7 years-old. Needless to say, it made quite an impact on me. To celebrate The Force Awakens, I have created a 100-day countdown to its release. Using images from my collection, I will share my favorite memories of 35+ years of being a fan and collector of all things Star Wars.

40 days to go: How many C-3PO's does one man need?
Since the reemergence of Star Wars action figures in the mid-90s there has been wave-after-wave-after-wave of new figures added to the market. Almost every character from all six movies has appeared as an action figure at some point, plus more than a few characters that weren’t in the movies, but appeared in the expanded universe books and comics. In total there have been several thousand figures released. Every year Hasbro will redesign the packaging and upgrade the figures so many characters have been released multiple times with slight variants! I have enjoyed every moment of hunting them all down.
