Hello Everyone
I found this site by chance last year, and have enjoyed surfing here since. I am particularly impressed by the lack of flaming/baiting on this site which seems to plague the forum experience elsewhere. So, I joined! Hello again!
I'm a big kid of 36 years, with two sons 8 & 9, and the 3 of us are literally Star Wars crazy. I am a university lecturer in Thailand, though i originate from the UK. I saw New Hope when I was just a small boy in 1977, Chorley, Lancashire at the ABC cinema. The saga has been with me ever since!
I got my 1st Force fx sabre (sorry - UK spell rules for me) mid 2006, and became a kid again instantly!!! Although Force fx aren't sold in Thailand, some good friends have brought me several from Singapore. Now I have Darth Vader, Maul, Mace, Yoda, Anakin, and Luke 4 and 6. Very happy with the collection, and by the end of this year I hope to have a couple more!!! My wife doesn't really support me having too many sabres, though she gives me slack (she once told me i hummed SW theme in my sleep!!!)
Vader and Luke (6) are my favourites. I've been using the Vader for spins so it has taken a lot of abuse, and still works just fine. The Luke looks amazing and is surprisingly light. The only one I'm missing is Obi-Wan, which now may be gone forever, although Ebay might be a resource.
Looking forward to being a long term member.
Regards
Russ
