Nearly all of my (modern era) Star Wars collection is based on the prequels and The Clone Wars cartoon line. When I was younger I had a fairly decent sized OT collection from the PoTJ and PotF lines. Over the years the collection began to expand and I didn't have the room to store it all so I cataloged what I had, boxed everything up and stored them in my parent's garage (at their permission, mind you). Long story short my dear mother sold all of it in a garage sale this week. :/ Initially I was upset because she sold everything at a fraction of what it was probably worth, and now my original trilogy collection is all but gone. Rather than be angry, upset or what have you I have decided to find a silver lining in all this and with the newly articulated sculpts of the vintage and legacy lines, I have shifted gears from buying Clone War era to OT era. Sort of a clean slate I suppose. The only thing I hate is that most of my fighter ships like my x-wings, a-wings, and y-wings are all gone and from what I've seen are sort of expensive to replace.
I just thought I'd share this tragedy and rebirth with you all. Neither my family, nor my friends understand my hobby of collecting or my passion for all things Star Wars so I needed to talk to somebody....
Cheers
