I love the fact you have kept your focus to just vintage 8D8 stuff and haven't mixed any modern in.
Look forward to seeing how it evolves

To be honest there are some focus collectors that do this and I think it looks terrible
What's worse is most just mix it in and don't give it a separate shelf or anything..ugly!
Thanks for the comment Jay, might be a slow moving focus but I do enjoy it!

I don't think I would have had half the stuff without some good friends and sneaky deals though!
The only modern thing I would consider would be an 8D8 POTF prototype, but definitely not carded!

Ok, all sitting comfortably?
I was born in 1984 so I missed the films BUT inherited the toys from my 10+ years older cousins from both sides of the family, I had all these cool toys but no idea who or what they were, then I read books on the films and the novels and had some idea of who they were!
When I was chucking my ewoks around the garden and squashing them with my AT-AT (who normally snuck up from behind the shed or tree) I wanted to also play inside and have battles with humans and robots!
So 8D8 served as my squad commander/leader of all the stormtroopers I had ( I guess because they were white as he was and he looked scarier)
I thought the stormtroopers were actually robots and the insignia on the back read OIL (check your figures ) - anyway! as I had no name for 8D8 or cardbacks to go by, and he wasn't represented or pictured in any literature I had at the time I nicknames him "the white skinny droid"
And so.......I got an online name and a favourite figure from my childhood!
Seemed like a natural progression as I have always gone by the name whiteskinnydroid on starwars sites and when I wanted to collect again but not get too expensive he was the perfect choice!
