[QUOTE="db94, post: 567117, member: 4318"] Roughly when did you stop collecting SW toys and why? Did you move on to a different toy line like Transformers or GI Joe? For me it was 1985 when I was 13. I’d got a B Wing, TIE interceptor, plus B Wing pilot and Nien Nunb for Christmas ‘84 but soon after wanted a mountain bike and starting thinking more and more about boobs :) I was obsessed with SW toys right up to the point of being “too old” for them. The one thing I did get was a Han in carbonite. When I heard it was coming as a figure I couldn’t wait to get it - but when I did, I clearly remember thinking what the **** is this?! Just looked ridiculous and nothing like my other figures. That pretty much finished my interest in collecting figures as a hobby. I remember casually looking at the bags of figures and £4.99 ships in Woolies but never crossed my mind to buy any. If that Han figure had been better I might have cleared the shelves :LOL: So what about everyone else? [ATTACH type="full"]188178[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
