Many of you may of heard of me but if not, here is a little background.
I started collecting the modern line in 1999 when I found that my first child was on her way. At first I was thinking boy so I had no problem collecting Star Wars like what I had when I was a kid. After I found out I was having a girl, I ended up collecting for myself. Yes, she has some figures but I ended up being the hardcore collector of the 3 3/4 line. Within a years time I had everything that Hasbro offered. I hit every Target, Walmart, ToysRus, Kmart, Riteaid, Comic Shop know in the area. I have like 15 of each store surrounding me. I am a loose collector although I have a few things carded, I decided to know follow the path of the darkside and collection carded and variations. It is already expensive as it is to collect every action figure under the Star Wars name.
As far as the internet, I started a little trading board called the Star Wars Trade Zones where I met and traded with collectors all over the world. To this day many of them have remained my friends and still help me out on getting some of the figures and toys that are hard to find. I went by the name of Chewbacca99 or C99 and was a chat/forum mod for TheJawa.com when Steve use to own it. I later left and join CollectStarWars.com where I met many more collectors and friends. When CSW decided to merge with Rebelscum I jumed ship and created my own website called DeathStarPlans.com but later closed down to join Mike at GalacticHunter.com where you will find some of my collection hosted in his Image Bank. I worked there for 6 months and created a vast vintage carded section and built up his POTF2 and early collection sections. Things didn't work out between real life and the site so I stopped for awhile and soon created DeathStarPlans2.com which lasted many years. During the time I had my son. I missed out on renewing that domain name so hence why it turned into DeathStarPlans2.net later. With being in and out of the website seen I lost many readers and collectors due to inactivity and also due to real life situations. Making a come back can take quit some time so I decided to just do what I do best and photograph Star Wars toys instead of running a full blown website. Ill leave that up to the professionals.
My DSD Talk Show is an online comic strip that interviews various webmasters around the net by plugging their websites and material. The show is based on all of us in real life but in figure form in a funny-comical way. As you know I am DSD the Vintage Death Star Droid and Wntermute is Lobot my co-host of the show. You will find many familiar names from around the SW collecting community on all of the episodes. I am also looking forward to getting to know you all here and hopefully adding some of you and your antics into the Show. Beware of the power of DarthBane though, you do not wanna stand behind him during the show. Check out all the episodes that my friends and I have done over the years by visiting my own little section here on the forums named "The DSD Talk Show".
Now I am joining all of you here at Imperial Shipyards along with my closest DSP2 friends to bring to you our work, knowledge and fun. I will continue to do my Toy Gallery and Talk Show comic strip here. You will also find my co-host, Wntermute and I of the Talk Show in the ISY chatroom most of the time so if you wanna stop by and beat us up or shoot the breeze with us, feel free to enter and join us. Well that's pretty much DSD in a nutshell. Thanks for reading this far down and not falling asleep. lol
