[QUOTE="stratpack, post: 309934, member: 5386"] That is quite amazing and look what those playpacks go for now. I never saw any POTF in stores although my mate remembers them and got Luke Stormtrooper for 50p! There used to be a Beatties model/toy shop in Ayr (formerly called Scotch Corner) and in 1986 I walked in with my parents and they had a section floor to ceiling of SW, reduced stickers all over the place. Don't remember too many specifics but Tie Interceptors and a vast amount of Trilogos stuck in my mind. Being naive (and only 10) I thought I'll get something next time I'm there, like it would go on forever. A [i]YEAR[/i] later I'm back (Ayr was a long way from home and we had no car back then). Absolutely bugger all. :roll: We asked the staff - blank looks all round and then they say 'aren't those collector items now?' First time I'd ever heard that and that must have been about '87. :cry: [/QUOTE]
