Willmark:
Note, I’m talking about actual copies, not a PDF of one.
What got me doing this was you guessed it, my nippon army. In the issue I was looking for: 3 metal ninja figures, 3 for £1.50, chaos warriors? 3 for £1.95.
So ill go first, unlike my back issues of Dragon my oldest copy of White Dwarf is not that old (relatively speaking). In my case it’s issue #81, from September 1986.
Thommy H:
I only go back as far as Issue 197, with the 4th Edition Wood Elves.
Willmark:
I think I underestimated, “old” will be relative. In any event should be a fun exercise.
Grimstonefire:
The oldest I have is 203, mostly bretonnian and undead stuff (back when VC and TK were in one book, for the beardlings here).
Edit.
I forgot, I did buy an earlier one off ebay a couple of years back. Whichever one it is that has the Black Dwarf in it.
Pyro Stick:
I know ive got 4 or 5 old issues but i cant remember which ones they are apart from Issue 103. I know ive got the issues with 3rd edition chaos dwarf rules in them but dont know their numbers.
cornixt:
169 was the first issue I bought, although I got rid of all my old ones years ago and haven’t bought any since.
Grimstonefire:
I think I could do quite well on the largest collection of White Dwarfs btw. Not sure if that’s a good thing to admit or not. 
gashnag:
My first issue was issue #201 it had a free mini in it either a skink w/ bow or bret archer that lead to my introduction into Warhammer, and I still have the skink!
Sticklander:
The oldest issue I have is 131, and since I was born in '95 it’s interesting to see how the hobby was back then: the look of the stores, the prices, the fashion (dear gods, the fashion), etc.
I ordered the WD copy from the year I was born, and suitably it had a massive battle report in it featuring an orc, goblin, and chaos dwarf alliance. I was very chuffed to see that! 
Nicodemus:
134 here. Most of my collection is the 180s through 210 or so, then a few from 2010/2011.

G.2:
I have have issues WD75, WD76, WD77, then there are a few missing, and then I have ALL of them from about WD93 to current. And the weird thing is, i have MANY MANY duplicates from about 170 onwards. I used to buy them in bulk (50+ issues at a time) and remove the ones i wanted, and then on-sell the duplciates. the problem is I havn’t had time to much selling recently so the duplicates sit on a shelf in my garage.
I stopped buying them, as they were taking up too much room, and the ones I want/need are TOO expensive. They are definately not found in bulk lots.
Ugly Green Trog:
Hmm I dont remember the issue numbers but I got a few of my first ever issues in my mums shed. I have the digganob one and the rerelease of epic 40k. I had the WHQ 2nd birthday issue too.
Vogon:
As luck would have it I have my first white dwarf in my bag at work, it�?Ts games night tonight and I promised that I�?Td bring it in. It is issue number 136 (April 1991) though my earliest issue is from before that (I’ll have to check when I get home).
I particularly remember it as it had a battle report in with Epic scale marines and IG taking on Orks using the first edition of the Adeptus Titanicus and Space Marine rules. Pretty much based on this one article I started collecting GW and playing their games. This issue also has the templates for building 40K scale Gobsmashas, Braincrushas, Bonecrushas and Lungburstas which is why I�?Tm taking it in this evening.
When I was first getting into the the hobby there were a load of back issues in the Sheffield (and Meadowhall) Games Workshop stores and I bought one of all the issues they had in stock. So I ended up with a few pretty random ones.
Cheers

Chico:
I collect the old white dwarfs (up too 200), so my oldest copy is issue 1. But the first ever issue i bought was 158 it had a free poster too 
Blue in VT:
My first is 100…back when they were a rather odd shape…I think I have up through about 185 or so…I lost interest in the 4th edition…girls and guitars took up all my time…
…o and beer…:cheers
Cheers,
Blue
Willmark:
I thought for sure one of the UK chaps would have an issue older then mine… (Feels REALLY old now ), well aside from G2

Grimstonefire:
I actually have another (related) challenge, who has the most white dwarf models?
I’ve got 4 of them. (double handed axe, standing on the shield, and two of the one holding the helmet and axe ). I think the one with the bar stool is a bugman model?
