my collections

[Chopper]

I have the Falcon, X wing and vintage Speeder bike. My son has Slave 1, Republic gunship and a Jedi Starfighter. He also has a few figures that made me cry when he opened them. One was the Gunship door gunner (a necessary item). Annoyingly a year later a Clone Wars version was released that was far from rare. Little bugger tore my MOC Darth Vader open too. He was a spare with coin and I intended to keep him MOC. I still have a few vintage figures too, tho not near as many as I had

And I'm off to Science Works Star Wars exhibition tomorrow. Woohoo. In the Toyota we must fly......

and the red droid i have only came with the naboo royal star ship which is rare as rocking horse crap!

Modeller's loft in Caterham have at least two of the Royal Starships, but at £110 they can keep them.

I didn't even start to seriously collect any of the "new" Star Wars, I've got a few that appeal to me, but they just don't have the charm of the vintage Kenner figures for me.

Toys r Us have reduced the price of the large Millenium Falcon toy I noticed during my visit today...still very expensive, even @ half price!

You can get them much cheaper, I saw one go for £55, it was opened but thats a considerable saving. People tend to over estimate the value of the modern stuff quite badly.

I remember a few years back the POTFII Tauntaun with Han Solo was going for £100+, now its less than half that for a minty minty version.

I'm thinking that a lot of "speculators" got thier finger burnt with the newwer Star Wars toys

Was they such a rush, in America, for the Joe movie toys as they was for Phanton Menace stuff back in '99? ( ten Years already?!)
