Just went through E.T to try and pick out some of the SW toys... Elliott's room is full of them!!
Some of the pics are very dark but you can make em out.

I think that is a SW ship to the right of the woman's head (not the space shuttle, the next one :roll: )

There's a turret on the left in the second Greedo picture (the one after the "hammerhead greedo battle")

Good effort on spotting and the pictures though!

Yeah that 'turret' is in the two "Probe droid Hoth scene" pics
I'm no good at the ships/mini-rigs and playsets but i think that's what you mean. What is that probe droid hoth toy called??

I was amazed how many toys were in it. I haven't seen the film in years and only vaguely remembered the action figure bit. Very cool seeing it again as a collector. :D

I prefer "Death Star Thingy"
:lol: :oops: I'm such a noob when it comes to the ships and playsets. Only one i've ever bought is Jabba and that doesn't really count. :lol:
Thanks for your help.

Our vintage figures can even survive a nuclear BOMB! I saw this 1984 BBC TV movie THREADS years ago after reading a review, its harrowing! :eek: I remembered there was a few star wars figures in the film.......... Vader, Logray, Boba, C-3P0, Han Hoth, General Madine, Lando Skiff........

Yes, they survive everything! :) In the eighties I dropped a Klaatu and a Hungarian bootleg from the balcony (about 20 meters)... the bootleg went to thousand pieces but the Klaatu figure just sat there with no harm or anything... :) finding it in the grass was the most difficult thing.
