My name is Mike, and I'm a toy collector.

I used to work at Toys R Us. It was a pretty awesome job. I met some of my best friends of all time there (including my Mark) and I totally got in to collecting toys.

In an effort to veer away from being a complete hoarder, I've almost entirely stopped buying toys. But, I'm still all about Star Wars "guys". I usually buy them, OPEN UP THE PACKAGE, set them up at my desk at work, then eventually throw them in a box in the garage.

Then there are these niche Star Wars figures, available only at Disneyland/Disneyworld (and perhaps [livejournal.com profile] njbearcub1's shop), that are Disney characters dressed up as Star Wars characters. I know, they are lame, but I like em'!

Just saw these today and got really excited:

MUST. HAVE.

For park exclusives, I would have to pay the same price as anyone else, and then pay to have them shipped, so I'd have to sell them for more to make a profit.

If I was at the park *anyway*, and could put them in luggage without having to pay to ship them home separately, then, *maybe*...

Plus, the whole appeal of those figures is, "Omg, I'm at Disneyland and I have all this vacation money! Star Wars Disney guys?!"
