Time For a Change
Greetings to all my friends and fellow bloggers.

I'm sorry that I have not been around much the past few months.

I have had a LOT going on in my life recently, nothing tragic or devastating, just....stuff, ya know?

It's really nothing I'm too comfortable discussing in a public forum such as this anyway, but I do want to let all my friends know I'm OK and that I miss you guys.

I've been doing a LOT of thinking lately, about life, love & the pursuit of happiness, and where I fit in with it all.

I've also been thinking heavily about my obsession with Star Wars and my collecting habits that have ruled my life for the past several years.

Today's economy being what it is doesn't help either, but the truth is collecting to me isn't what it once was, and I've come to realize that the joy it once brought me has been slowly fading away and I have been buying things simply for the sake of buying something and not because it was something I truly WANTED.

For those of you who followed my Toy Tour blogs, I'm sure you have noticed their slow decline and eventual grind to a halt, and I think that was a direct result of my declining lack of interest in the hobby as well.

So after much thinking and rethinking my life, I have decided to stop collecting Star Wars stuff, and finally begin to do what my family has wanted me to do for ages: Sell off my collection.

Yep, I'm selling my stuff.

Oh I may hang on to a few pieces here and there, but for the most part it's all going to go.

I've already started listing stuff on eBay, and I also know several of you out there I will be making offers to in the near future.

Since the rules here forbid me to post a direct link to items for sale, if you would like to find out more about what items will be available, or have an interest in something of mine you have seen in my toy tours, you can contact me further to discuss it by clicking here, ok?

Oh, you had me going for a while there. Probably the paragraph before the last, though, I thought... "Waitaminute... today's April First!"

You actually had me going, but that's probably because my own SW collecting has declined over the past few years. I don't want to sell anything that I have acquired though.

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

GULLIBLE!!!

For so many of us to fall for your little joke (Ha! Ha!), sad though it may have been, there had to have been at least a chance for it to be plausible. You got us, deej. You got us good.

The sheer daunting task of dismantling your Collection Room would be enough to stop even the most stalwart of individuals from tackling it!

;)

MTFBWY :)

p.s. So, when's the next tour???
