I'm one of the SW geeks who bought and buys the action figures... A couple of years back I began to work out how much money I had spent on SW, once I got to $1000 I didn't feel well enough to continue counting.
Heck, I watched Episode II in the theatres 13 times (mainly 'cause there was nothing to do in the mornings before lectures at Uni).
And I don't own a credit card so I can't pay for Hyperspace... also, I'm guessing that if they have competitions they'll only be made available to residents of America (since outside the borders of U.S.A. the world does not exist).
