Just been looking through some old photos and stumbled across these from Christmas 85, anyone know what a tri logo threepio and artoo would be worth now, still I do look happy as a pig in the proverbial. Anyone else have some vintage memories to share?

So that's where cut cards come from. :D

( I think you need to put a space between each link for them to work properly.)

If only I'd kept them all! The photos don't seem to want to work, spaces or not, I'm gonna have to blame my phone and or the usual cause of user error :lol:

Yeah, go for it, it's probably the last decent photo taken of me so may as well show it off.

Further to this Joe I've just picked up a tri logo Rancor Keeper with a Kay Bee price sticker on if you'd like some photos emailing to you? I've no idea what is on the back of the card, it wasn't shown on the advert so will have to wait a few days for delivery! Could go well for your Overstock feature if its something interesting.

Great photos. I had a look through a dozen of my childhood albums the other day, not one thing SW. Clearly I need to like SW more. Land of Dinsosaurs? Check. Commodore 16? Check. SW? Nope.

Edd, that last one when one brother is holding the Ewok glider is great: it looks like the brother on the far left is about to use Luke Bespin for an eye gouge move that would net him bother the glider and Logray. Great maniacal grin :D

Along the line of cut cards I have a memory of SW figures appearing in my stocking and they could only be fit by bending the card in half back on itself before wrapping. Great memories.

I was helping move some furniture at my parents house at the weekend and we found some old photo albums from 1984.

First photo is my 4th birthday cake, second photo is Christmas 1984 :D :D

I dream of finding old family photos of me opening a figure or my Scout Walker. Alas, i don't think they exist.
Great photos guys.

Love your face in the Christmas pic - so happy about getting the Falcon and Speeder
My wife has the same doll - it's up in the loft!

I would dearly love something that shows why I had IG-88 with a Chewie bowcaster despite never owning Chewie? Was it a hitherto unknown miscard or did I just 'aquire' it from a friend.

Great effort on the photos guys!

Those pictures are cool. I wish I could find some from my childhood, but years of searching have produced nothing :(
