ABOUT US

	My Name is Dustin Roberts, and I launched this website as a side project back in 2003. What started as a side focus has now fully consumed my hobby. That is, my R2-D2 collection is now first and foremost in my collecting habits. I try to keep up with it all by archiving it here for my own benefit, and hey, if you get any use out of it then that's cool too. I am also the content manager for TheForce.net.
	Aryet (Peace Ma) joined the staff in 2010 to help build the archive and contribute R2-D2 related news for readers. He is located in Hong Kong.
	Bryan Simmons helped maintain the website at one time. He helped us build our archive by contributing content from his extensive R2-D2 prototype collection!

Who Dat?
Over the years I've made many friends in the Star Wars collectible community and many of them share my same goal for collecting R2-D2 memorabilia. While the majority of the images housed here in the Data Bank are of items from my own collection, many come from volunteers who wanted to help out and make this a better place for all to enjoy. Below are their names along with links to their own websites. A special thanks from me goes out to all these folks who've helped me along the way.

Philip Wise
Special thanks goes out to Philip Wise for all his support over the years. His dedication to the hobby and the people within the community through his collector orientated Rebelscum.com should never be overlooked. Philip provides the server space for this website and the news engine software for posts via Collectinghq.com.
