    Love the Stephen King book collection. I lived in Bangor right around the corner from Mr. King from 1980-1984 and I have some great memories of him ( especially from Halloween). My youngest brother Eric was great friends with his son Owen so he was a regular visitor at the King house and sometimes Owen would come over to ours. Super down to earth guy and does alot for the kids in the community up there

    Last year I sold all my vintage toys and comic book collection that I had for over 30 years. I made a bundle and it is so freeing not having to worry about them anymore. My collectible room was very much like this one and became so overwhelming and stressful for me. It was great selling it all to others who will in turn love the items like I did.

I don't think she really cared about the story, and not sure if she saw any of the others. I didn't like spending time with her, she was not a nice person. Me, her, and two other girl cousins were all basically the same age, they didn't want to see the movie, especially since she was going. Sad but true. My children love the movie too, it's nice when something can be enjoyed by a whole family.

    I absolutely love this series. I love seeing others be passionate about something that makes them happy. Far too often as a collector, I often get asked, mostly by family, "How many do you need?", or "haven't you grown out of that? "Aren't you too old?" Thankfully, I have a supportive husband that loves when my eyes light up (his words) when I get a new addition to my collection. I have 1000+ plus Breyer horses. While not everyone's cup of tea, it makes me happy.

      You have a void that needs filling ie something went wrong somewhere and collecting makes you feel good. Hoarders feel the same way about throwing things away. I collect to distract myself from childhood trauma . Not saying you are but 95% of collectors collect for particular reasons other than I want it.

    I had vintage Star Wars figures still carded and unpunched. I bought them from a shop that had a load of old stock in boxes. I also had a complete collection of M.A.S.K vehicles and figures, vintage Action Man, He-Man. I still had my Gjostbusters and GI-Joe's. They were all stolen when my mother had a loft insulated and work done. There was a spree of theft at the time, vintage toys, vinyl records, beswick, minton, and Wedgwood etc being on the hit list. It wasn't what they were worth it was more the sentimental value of collecting them with my late father. Keep them safe and Happy collecting guys!

Also my parents who are the first Stat Wars fans of the family bring me to the theater in Paris (October 1977 French date movie release) and it was such a show that it was impossible to not fall in love with the film and toys were the best way to recreate your favorite galaxy at the time.

I stopped collecting for about 10-15 years, but started again in 2015 and been going strong since.....

Open night 1st showing(They did not have a premier for Star Wars). We were each given a poster and several trinkets and buttons. The Theatre was less than 1/2 full for this 1st one. We were so blown away by what we saw, that we had to bring our other friends to this movie. The next evening we went back and the line was around the block to get in. We saw Star Wars over 30 times in the 1st month it came out as we traveled back home from New York. Wish I still had the poster and trinkets we were given.

    My brother has a Star Wars room in his house, too. He's an artist and has built/sculpted life-size characters from the movies. He also designs logos for businesses and inserts for collector cases to display characters that don't have their original packaging.
    I also saw the original movie in the theater in 1977. I wasn't as impressed as Trent. Lol. It's actually the only one of the movies I've seen in its entirety. I remember in middle school, we had to read the book version of the 2nd movie. I couldn't finish it. I declared then that I hated science fiction. I didn't. In fact, we also had to read the Star Trek script of The Trouble with Tribbles. Turns out, my love is for Star Trek. My son was raised watching Star Trek with me, but somehow figured out how to love both Star Wars and Star Trek.

Thanks Trent for allowing Alex into your home to share your awesome collection with us. I have a friend that collects the Lego sets and figures. He inherited some very rare ones from a close friend who travelled all over to attend special events and toy fairs. My favorite of the figures is Yoda in a New York I ❤shirt. So darn cute. Another rare one he has that I love is a mini set with Han Solo riding a Tauntaun. He's been offered crazy money for those but refuses to sell them. They are priceless to him because they were his friend's. I saw Star Wars when it first came out when I was a teenager. Saw it at 3 different theaters with one being an outdoor drive-in. Sweet memories.
