Those were the days.......

Post by stkhlmdk »

Just found an old photoalbum which my mother gave me when we moved back to Denmark in 2006, been hiding in an box of stuff we didnt unpack after the move :) The first photo is a proud kid at X-mas 83´ after getting his first two Star Wars items, Darth Vader and the Speed Biker with driver. Notice the awesome Commodore VIC-20 behind me on the floor :D

Back in 87´ I was apparently already doing DIO-setups in the garden, looks like Cobra has ambushed Checkpoint Charlie. (disregard the ever so beautiful soccer outfit I am wearing :rofl:)

I guess as the 4.0 is nearing soon you start to look back at what once was and where you are now......some call it midlife crisis, I call it nice memories :)

Lovely stuff :)
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

Brilliant. Obi Wan was my first figure back in '77, Then Action Man maybe a year later and the Breaker in '83. My back garden would be loaded with figure accessories, I'm sure.

As for the mid life crisis. Brace yourself, I'm 42 and its hit hard.
Let me tell you, Gunner La-De-Dah Graham, the British Army can fight anything! Intimate or not!

I just noticed :shipwreck: is in a tense/funny situation: He's trying to sneak belly-to-ground style, then he raises his head and finds :timber: in front of him, angry that Hector tried to sneak out of monitor duty.
Thanks for the memories!

I actually think they are fighting a Cobra, looks like Timber is sitting on top of a figure and Shipwreck is punching him in the face :)
