My childhood Vader had that thin extra bit on the sabre as did my Ben Kenobi, I still have the Vader although he's in poor condition these days but I can have a look at his stamp/markings if it helps?

Ah ok, must have been one of the latter two in my case, also recall having the rubber breathing apparatus as a kid, were they part of the same?

I did answer that I was selling, but the more I look at the collections on display in some of the threads I may have been hasty since a nudge back to the forum. Although I need to rehome some items it's made me reconsider keeping a few more than intended and displaying them in a more interesting...

Great display! What set did the survival packs come from originally? I have a few but don't recall what they came with back in the day when I received them.

Thank you for your replies, the prices for the individual parts is staggering from what I've seen already, it's like a breakers yard and is a bit sad to think breaking up a complete Millennium Falcon like mine would be more valuable in bits than in full. I understand the issue with childhood...

Hi everyone, a quick question (hopefully an acceptable place to ask it)... I will be looking to sell the last few items of my childhood collection soon, all original as I received them back in the 80's but unboxed; my question would be should I sell them as they are or should I aim to purchase...

Search your feelings, you know it to be true!

There's an incentive for me to take some photos of the remains of my childhood collection.

Blimey, if that's the case how much extra can you expect for an original training arm and ball attached to a complete Falcon???

No longer collecting, received an email this morning which reminded me of this forum and that I need to pull my finger out and find a new home for my childhood collection.

Thanks Mini, I always loved the Speeder and it's very clean and fully working plus it'll sit on a shelf without much bother. Luckily I must have removed the batteries before it went in the loft as the battery compartment is as good as new.
