Soon, a new online source for Star Wars collectors will open its doors! This online
retail store called
“THE
COLLECTORATE” was created by a group or avid Star Wars Collectors.
Their tagline,
“By Collectors, For Collectors”, speaks to its
origins and its focus. This group of enterprising collectors identified many frustrations
they had encountered while purchasing items for their own collections. Finding no
remedies for these frustrations, they decided to open a store focusing on
the
collector’s point of view.
