Lee I couldn't agree more - we collect because of the happy memories so lets make sure our kids have the same.
I've already started stashing some modern vintage collection figures away in the loft just ready for the day I have grandkids. They can watch the latest version that Disney has released on blu ray/holographic projector/virtual reality and I'll produce a box load of figures and ships and be the coolest Granda in the world
Here is my daughter playing with my very first SW ship. It picked up a little more wear and tear during the adventures but we've had a lot of fun.
At bed time she always took her book, tigger and her favourite figure R5D4 to sleep next to her on her pillow
She turns 18 this October and has a great mix of modern and vintage, here's her room.
