[QUOTE="theforceuk, post: 329693, member: 5625"] What a brilliant post and thanks so much for taking the time to type it out, their's more info in that post than all of mine put together. (Not hard) This was also my erra for Star Wars and some of my first memories are of going to a family run store looking for certain figures and being disappointed at not needing any. It's interesting reading about the Jedi caracters flying off the shelves as I was brought up in Cornwall but moved from the north in 84' and all we seemed to get was Jedi caracters in Cornwall, perhaps the odd ESB caracter if lucky. But before I moved I seemed to acquire more of a mix from all the films. I remember finding Luke Bespin and Bossk which was exciting! My Dad would sometimes stop at this one paticular shop on the way home from work and get me a Star Wars figure, I would be waiting at home in great anticipation and one day he brought me a Prune Face which I already had, ended up sulking for the rest of evening. :lol: Anyway thanks again for shareing, great memories and times. :D [/QUOTE]
