[QUOTE="TheJabbaWookie, post: 499925, member: 9217"] This is the third time I’ve got back into Star Wars Collecting as an adult. The first was in 1997, the 2nd in 2003 (discovering eBay) and this time round in 2016 (The Force Awakens). But I wanted to talk about the first time for me. Surprisingly it wasn’t the release of the special editions that reignited the fuse, and it sure as hell wasn’t on the back of the 1995 POTF2 toy line release. No it was actually totally and utterly because of Walkers and their Star Wars Tazos. I was at uni in Nottingham, getting pissed up with all my mates and generally eating really shittily and Walkers Salt and Vinegar crisps, Pickled Onion Monster Munch and Doritos Originals fuelled my lunch times and rekindled the love. It was the first time I’d come across Doritos and my memory is as much about sampling them as it was about collecting the tazos. Nottingham had a number of car boot sales where I picked up my first figures, and that brought back all the nostalgic memories and that was me hooked on Star Wars Toys again.
