Star Wars : The Clone Wars : Republic Heroes

This one never even made it onto the hard drive, total impulse buy.  Over the years I have collected Star Warsian stuff, mostly video games and Lego sets, that I enjoy having but may never actually play with.  My hope is for another rush of nostalgia to hit when the new movie comes out in two years, and maybe I can sell some of it off then at close to what I paid for it.  If not, I suspect I have about 20 more years before the kids that grew up with Episode 1-3 are old enough to rose tint that shit to the point they want to collect it. ;)

Collecting stuff seems to fall into two groups, those who do it with an eye for future profit due to rarity or desirability and those who (like me) get stuff they like or that catches their eye at the time.  Usually the first group predates on the latter since I rarely know what I have of value I just bought it because it was there.  As a blonde I am attracted to shiny things and as a geek those things tend to have Star, Space, or Game in the name somewhere.  It is odd because as a rule I prefer to try and live a non-materialistic lifestyle but at the same time it gives me great joy to buy and have these things even if I later decide to get rid of them.  I think I would have enjoyed being a pirate and trading in all my crap and cash for shiny things to wear in my hair and ears. :)
