I'm adding a new rule to this thread (cos it's just too hard to do chronology once you've hit past 2018) and include any other real life number stuff that you can relate your collection count too, e.g. postcodes etc.
My current count is the same as the postcode for Parramatta.
2173CE: the year that Woody Allen's "Sleeper" film is set in.
2173 is also the postcode for the Holsworthy Army base in Sydney, NSW.
Oh dear my history is very ancient.
In 25BC, Rome was estimated to become the largest capital city in the world.
In 25AD, the Han Dynasty was restored in China. Many Solo's rejoiced. (hurr hurr)
When I was 25, which is 12 years ago, I was working for Adam Internet and still single. I hadn't started my collecting resurgence yet, but had started on Simon Furman's IDW run in TPB form (the -ations series and Stormbringer, as well as Spotlights). I remember that the modern take on classic characters reallly appealed to me.
2182CE: the Deltans make first contact with the Andorians
2386CE

* The U.S.S. Titan's former captain, William T. Riker, is assigned as acting sector commander in the Alpha Quadrant frontier zone.
2390CE: A robot known as MACC travels back to 1987 and helps the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles defeat Krang and his henchmen.
