My humble Star Wars Collection

[ODB]

If you had kept the Death Star Droid on his Trilogo Card you would certainly be well on your way to a Flagg. They can go for a pretty penny.

[Thundershot]

I'd keep them Rene, if you ever did get rid of them guaranteed you'd regret it some time along the line, besides if you ever do decide start a collection you've got a nice head start.


Strange to think that, despite considering myself a massive Star Wars fan & buying the toys for more years than I care to remember, I've never owned a vintage Tie fighter of any type or description...

[ODB]

The original Tie Fighters are strangely rare in the UK (until the late 90s brought over a flood from the US when the market took off). I think its because Palitoy never them and they were only ever imported across under the much later Bi-logo packaging towards the end of the line. I only ever knew one person that owned one as a kid but the TIE Interceptors were far more common.

[Thundershot]

I never know that OBD, that would explain why I rarely see any @ toy fairs.. The Tie interceptors gotta be my fave of the Imperial fighter craft. I do own the re-tooled Tie fighter Hasbro re-released back in the 90's, it's nice but not the same as having a vintage one complete with badly applied stickers.

I gave away most of my SW figures when I was younger and it kills me now. Mostly because of who gave them to me, but also because I really loved those figures. Them and the Action Men were my childhood sandpit pals.

[Thundershot]

Yeah, it's more about the memories the toys themselves hold than monetary value with things like this.
Like with my 1st ever Star Wars figure, its tatty & in beat up condition, but I'll never part with him because of the sentimental value.

Lost items with emotional value to it can never really be replaced,

[Chopper]

Amen to that Eddie. Unfortunatly I'm a sook, so everything is emotional My first SW figure was Kenobi, still got him thankfully.

[Red Laser]

That's a good collection and in good condition most of mine was broken or taken by other kids.

[gung-hoeddie]

That was only recently that happened though wasn't it ironblood?
