These are very cool, I enjoy each of them. Thanks for finding these issues. 

[dablais]

Always a pleasure!

@NintendoPower91 sent me issue 1, 5 and 6.  I felt bad that the set was incomplete, so I purchased issue 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8.  You will see them appearing slowly!

There's only 8 total? Wow. I assume you're not required to spend your own money, but that's a very nice thing to do. I believe the process destroys the issue, unless you have a binder machine, correct? (Or you just have all the lose pages) But I heard they are not easy to come and require maintenance. I certainly appreciate the expense you go through, as with many others on the site. I tried looking for loose issues before and often they wanted nearly $10-15 per issue plus shipping (another $6-8). I hope you find deals, because I couldn't swing that kind of cost too often for myself. I thank all of you that spend your own money in order to add more to the site. I really do love and cherish each file you all provide.

Yes, only 8 total.

Apart from few donations, everything else is from my own pocket....  I buy them, scan them and publish them. The sad part is that I can never recover my money because I need to unbind them to do a decent scan...  But again, I mainly do that for my own collection and at the same time let other people enjoy it. But yeah, it's becoming quite costly these days... shipping cost are killing us.... . I also have @matrixman who help me alleviate some of the cost by having some magazines sent to his place, make a bundle and then have them sent to me after.  I was also able to talk to some eBay seller and let them know what we are doing, sometimes they offer better prices.   For example, thanks to @Yellowstone1872!

I definitely spent too much money in this, but what the heck... I like it.

Thank you again, kind sir. These mags aren't getting any easier to find, and thanks to you and others on the site, many can enjoy them for years to come.

There's also a "Star Wars Galaxy Magazine" from the same publisher that ran for 13 issues and covers everything from the movies to the comics to the novels, not just collectibles.

As with all things Star Wars, they've already been scanned (there are a lot more Star Wars fans out there than game magazine aficionados), but many times those scans were done years and years ago, so it's always possible to create newer, better scans.  My copies of these Star Wars Galaxy Collectors, for example, were scanned over 10 years ago, and are only around 50MB each, so I assume these new scans are an improvement.  And one day in the future when everyone has unlimited and secure storage in the cloud, we'll all demand 600ppi scans of everything, so every mag in our database will be ripe for a rescan.  And then one day it'll probably be 1200 ppi.  After that, who knows, some sort of 3D hologram $%&#.  A scanner's work is never done!

You didn't know about the new "3D hologram $%&#" coming out, @dablais?

Its total fire. Alex Jones confirmed it.

It might take 10 years, but I can't wait. I don't mind 50MB files unless I run across a better-quality version, then I need to have that one. As long as we all agree to STOP at 4800 ppi then I'm fine with that being the ceiling.
