Five year old Star Wars mega collector

5-year-old a force among 'Star Wars' collectors

Cedar Rapids, Iowa (AP)- Five-year old Bethanie Tuttrup's black cat is named Darth Vader and her bedroom is packed with "Star Wars" collectibles. Even her bike looks like one of the futuristic ships from the popular epic.

Much to her and her family's delight, Bethanie recently was named Iowa's best "Star Wars" collector by Hasbro Inc. toy company, which makes memorabilia from the series of "Star Wars" movies.

"She can name every character from every movie," said Linda Tuttrup, Bethanie's grandmother.

Bethanie's father, Jason Tuttrup, 30, said his daughter's collection has grown to about 1,500 items and could be worth as much as $20,000.


Anyone see the SNL skit where Tiger Woods (Tim Meadows) describes his dad handing him a putter at five years old with a insane look in his eyes?

I watched the documnetary on the Episode II DVD on the special effects for the movie. It was basically a bunch of old guys lying to themselves that Yoda looked like a puppet and they handled the fight scene in a way so it wouldn't be "unintentionally funny."

This poor child is growing up around denial and lies. Flat-out damn dirty LIES.

Good Lord what is this childs money making secret that allowed her to amass so many items worth so much....:confused:

She just sold off the Star Trek memorabilia when it started taking up closet space.

Something tells me that papa is a StarWars collector too. No honey, its for our daughter.

Otherwise, since the girl was born, she'd have to have bought almost one Star Wars item a day.

It's nice of that little girl to cover for her dad's ultra-nerdiness like that.

I find it sickening that this girls faher is pushing his obsession onto his daughter like that, forcing her into a life of loneliness, as a misfit overly obsessive fanatical Star Wars geek. For shame daddy, for shame!

Couldn't it be the girl's mother?

When was the last time you saw a mature female star wars nerd? :confused:

I dunno... can five year olds even go to the bathroom on their own?



What a crock of crap.
