Day 21! When I was a kid one of the first things I collected, I think before even being into SW was Monopoly games. I was probably 8 or so when I found out about this AOTC Monopoly that didn’t release in the US and somehow managed to get my dad to get it for me on eBay lmao
Day 20! I’ve met Ashley a few times at book signings over the years so didn’t have a signed photo from her- at RICC a few years ago a friend met her and when she noticed that the pen bled a bit she signed him another and let him keep this, which then made its way to me lol

A piece still over at my parents’ house, the original UCS Y-wing! It’s in need of a very thorough dusting, which honestly kinda fits the Y-wing well tbh. A good friend of mine had it growing up and when he was downsizing as we graduated high school let me have it for like $20 lol

Day 18! Genndy CW was the first Star Wars media I watched as it released and was huuuugely formative for me as a fan- the original animated 3.75 Grievous was one of the first action figures I bought. I open most my figures but got 2 of the Black Series release to keep one sealed

The Saga II General Veers! My collecting habits weren’t solidified when it came out in ‘06 so I didn’t get it then, but eventually I knew I had to track it down. Wound up buying this from a guy on Craigslist back in college lol, the exchange made outside the Union Square Best Buy

Day 16! Tho I don’t think of myself as a huge Pop guy I sure have a bunch- Thrawn was a shared SDCC and Toys R Us (lol) exclusive. Sold out locally and unavailable for shipping, store pickup was available so I ordered one for a buddy of mine in Columbus to pick up and ship me lol

I saw this pin at a local con earlier this year and decided to pick it up- love me some McQuarrie concept art stuff. It’s actually from Star Wars Weekends 2014 which had some appeal as well, I went to Weekends in 2005 and it was a really formative trip for me as a fan

Day 14! This was actually a Christmas present from my younger brother, he grabbed it at Midtown Comics while visiting NYC. I got Alex Ross’s signature a couple years later when he did a signing at NYCC for his Marvel art book

Day 13! I got this poster at my first NYCC back in 2012, tho I was about 2 weeks too young to vote that year lol. The Dev team had a signing then, I added Steve at RICC a few years ago, Jeff earlier this year at a local con, and Jen at NYCC this year. Go vote if you haven’t!

Day 12! This is from Richard Wilkinson’s Anthropoda from Hero Complex Gallery a while ago. Probably one of the more out there pieces of Veers merch I own lmao, I think it’s a lot of fun but an edition size of 250 strikes me as optimistic lol

Day 11! Having a friend worked for AMC back in 2015 sure was handy, it’s not really an item I have out on active display for fairly obvious space limitation reasons but maybe someday! I’ve always thought it’d be fun to bring to a con to get signed lmao

Day 10! Got this at Disney World back in 2019 around this time of year with some of my college buddies. Perhaps not the showiest item I got on my first trip to Galaxy’s Edge but certainly the most seasonally appropriate

Day 9 is the Thrawn: Treason SDCC edition! I got a leftover copy at NYCC one year; I try not to make a habit of buying multiple copies of the same book (THR Phase 1 did me in with the Out of Print editions) but liked this variant too much to pass up when I saw a copy available

Change of pace today- I was lucky enough to see Godot with my dad back in college and it was an absolute joy watching Patrick and Ian on the stage. I think it was something that we could recognize at the time was special, and is that much more so now.

I get this is the company line but forgive me for not believing the bajillion dollar conglomerate couldn’t have made both happen if they wanted to

Day 7! Initially thought I’d probably be very selective in what Black Series I got, but then @johnkatsanakis got me the Wave 1 Sandtrooper for my birthday and I was impressed enough to make the poor decision to go all in on it. I’m still a 3.75 guy at heart but do love both lines

Day 6! Again the exclusive edition, I’ve got Cody’s Phase 1 bucket on display to match Rex. My parents got me this in lieu of giving me any spending money one year back in college lmao. I appreciate Rex and Cody have nice but not insanely large bases, kept the cost down nicely
