New to me but was thinking it might be something people here were already aware of. A tad over-priced IMO 😅

I've also seen them in Iceland and it wasn't anything special. I saw them in Finland last year and they were the best I've ever seen - amazing.

What's the lightsaber maker db94?

Just spotted this on eBay today - thoughts? The documentation mentions a Star Wars promotional event at Harrods in 1983, which I remember as I was visiting London at the time but passed on the opportunity to see it for some reason, which of course I now regret. Star Wars original promotional...

I think it's sensible to consider these things while you can. Younger collectors here don't need to worry, but time creeps up on us all. I'm knocking on 60 and have been 'thinning down' a large number of different collectables over the years. I may have already commented on this here...

Here's my complete set of all 66, safely stored in a pocket album.

These crazy prices will only fuel even more ‘fakes/forgeries’.
