[QUOTE="Garnfellow, post: 3416185, member: 1223"] Alas, I got very few of them at my local hobby shop back in the day. Instead, I am haunted by a picture in an old TSR catalog from the early 80s. The picture was part of an ad promoting the Dragon's UK sister, the White Dwarf. And the picture was of a huge stack of White Dwarf magazines, with strange and wondrous covers of monsters and starships and the like. By the time I really was into D&D, TSR and GW had begun to part company, and WD was drifting away from D&D. But I never really got that ad out of my head. About 8-10 years ago I started buying issues online. (I've never really seen them for sale at a used bookstore or game stores.) One or two at a time, gradually growing and slowly filling in the holes in the collection. It's been a long, slow, and sometimes expensive process. If you want to start a collection, use ebay and be patient. The good news is, individual issues are fairly cheap and (IMHO) the golden age of WD only runs from about issues 12 to 48. Good hunting!
