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!

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.

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! Danny

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.

Oh I was not aware of that! Thanks for the info!
