[QUOTE="starshipriot, post: 505660, member: 4711"] I never experienced Vintage Star Wars first hand, being born in 1990. But I discovered it in the form of a Return of the Jedi annual when I was four, and a week later my Gran bought me a shoe box full of mostly ROTJ figures a week later off the car boot. So I still have nostalgic memories of Vintage Star Wars despite not experiencing it first hand. I am someone who has always appreciated things from before my time, all kinds of antiques and collectables, punk rock, toys and video games, but I don't see many people of my age getting excited because they found a UK Subs LP in a charity shop, or being ecstatic about receiving a Vectrex games console for Christmas. So maybe I am just unconventional. But I find much more value in history of the things that interestme than I do in a lot of things produced today. But if people weren't interested in the past, museums wouldn't exist. I'm sure Star Wars will always be culturally relevant and will always have its fans, and as such people will always part with a few quid for some vintage Star Wars, if only as a curiosity. I doubt it thirty or fourty years time people will be paying hundereds for a yak face or pop up R2D2. But I guess time will tell! [/QUOTE]
