[QUOTE="bosk70, post: 437842, member: 5890"] Have mentioned this before, I was at a boot sale about 1993 and was just getting back into star wars from when I was a kid, i bought a few ewoks I didn't have, for pence, with some weapons and a funny staff with skulls on out of a junk toys box, when I got home I looked in the star wars "from concept to screen to collectable I had just got and realised I had failed to buy the amanaman and barada probably a yak in there too but don't remember, they would have only been 20p each, as I had no idea about them, as I was to old to buy the last 17 or even know about them when they came out. Also refused a blue snag about this time for£16 as I thought it was overpriced :? These events have haunted my dreams ever since :o and would have been my best booty find probably could have got the lot in the junk box for £3, those were the days, best recent find last year was a mint chewy for 10p and a vintage x wing in good condition, not yellowed but as usual minus the guns for £2.50. bargins are harder to find nowadays but are still out their if you can get up at 5:30 on a Sunday morning after Saturday night out :) [/QUOTE]
