Hey cr4nky, yeah, that´s one pretty nice effect on this hobby ... not just to be a star wars enthusiast for oneself, but the follow up by our children. ;-)
It´s a thousand times better for kids than hanging around on the streets ...
Even if there will always be people who aren´t star wars fans and they just shake their heads ... The still growing star wars fan base shows us to be on the right side ... or even better on the dark side ... *LOL*
Cheers bro,
Manuel
