I’ve had a quick search on the forum to see if anybody has already posted a link to this fine piece of DIY cinematic fun… nothing came up so I feel compelled to share this with you all. At first I thought it was AI tat, but no! This is a comical reworking of Star Wars, with all costumes, props...

Hello Crimson, A warm welcome to the forum! And I’ll second Frunkstar’s sentiments… let’s see some photos when you get a moment! Martin

Just watched the YouTube video, a cracking tour of the Clarks shoebox, and the original tag that came with. Amazing to see the retail carrier bags from that period, too. I still can’t get over the fact that these didn’t pop up on my SW obsession radar back in the 70s. I love posts like...

Slightly off topic @SimpleSi so forgive me, but very much related to footwear and the inspiration of Star Wars… I’ve just taken delivery of a pair of custom Nike trainers, I didn’t realise at the time when I was building them on the app, bringing all the colours and elements together; that I...

Agreed, superb artwork- so evocative of licensed products from that early time period. Love ‘em. But not the shoes haha!! I was 8 in 1978 and like you @Dad of Luke, me and my SW obsessed friends would have been feverishly talking about these new Clarks kicks in the playground if any of us were...

I was expecting I’d be posting a photo of my latest Gentle Giant addition to my Trooper focus, this week… I’m gutted to see that it hasn’t even left the US, and is now being returned to the sender due to ‘issues encountered’. No other explanation!! What a pain….

I'll give this a go at the weekend... I've taken on board all the comments, I'll watch without prejudice!

Great photos, all of you- fantastic to see!

Superb Meccano collection, fantastic to see! Martin

Thanks mate, and the same to you! A very helpful heads-up… I’ve blocked out appointments for 26th and 27th March next year… a rare long weekend off work for me. I’m looking forward to it already, haha! Martin

Glad to hear the celebrations are continuing! Yeah, the York car boot at the racecourse is just a 15 minute walk from mine, so near… only problem is I open my barbershop at 8am every Saturday so I never have the chance to check it out. Seeing your weekly hauls has certainly put me in mind to...

Adam, thanks for taking the time to dig these out and post them... really good to see. Frank @Frunkstar, I promise I won't elbow you out the way when the Italian lady lists some more for sale on eBay... I'll play nice. Promise 😂

Happy Birthday, Steve- superb cake! Your local car boot is a gold mine... I always look forward to seeing your latest haul. One of the best threads on the forum! Hope you're continuing the birthday celebrations this weekend!! Martin

Welcome, Paul- and thanks for sharing, you've got some enviable items from your childhood there! I'll let more experienced collectors chime in with valuations etc, but I will echo what other members have said about taking your time in regards selling them all on... when I joined this forum years...

So good to see your ESB cards... for me, this was the peak of my Star Wars fanaticism aged 10 in 1980!! Seeing that striking (pun intended) Empire logo on new stock back then got me so giddy, haha! I knew then that Star Wars was going to be around for a long, long time. Makes me smile to see...
