Mexico strides to the lead!

Hi guys,

A funny thing happened the past few days since my short interview with Mexican collecting superstar Adolfo Martinez. This strange occurrence is based on stats and while this might make you yawn, it was a significant moment for the blog.

In case you missed it, Adolfo’s interview is here:

Collector Snapshot #2: Adolfo Martinez aka ‘Merlin(72)’

Since the blog commenced, U.S based readers have easily ranked number one in daily visitors to the site, usually followed by those based in Canada or Britain. Now this is no great shock considering they are Anglophone countries (my blog is in English after all) and that Star Wars vintage collecting is huge in those countries. But since Adolfo’s interview, Mexico has ranked first every day! Wooooohoooohh for Mexico!

This really is great news for me as I was really hoping this blog would appeal to all corners of the collecting world. It’s cool too because from what I’ve seen Mexican collectors absolutely love this hobby and they seem to be extremely positive in their interactions with their fellow collectors.

If you’re interested in joining Adolfo’s and his friend Moises’ Spanish speaking Star Wars Facebook group then check this link out. I’m a member there and even though I have nada idea what they are talking about it looks like they’re having fun!

I already have some interviewees set up from some other regions so it will be interesting to see what happens then as well.

Thank you Mexicans for reading! I’ve always thought you guys were cool dudes. Anyway, no matter where you are from, I hope you are all enjoying this blog!
