Vintage Christmas Pressies.......

I've not had any vintage for Christmas since 1984

I had some for a birthday in 93...which sent spiralling down the rd of collecting!

Nothing for Christmas though. Sometimes I have bought pieces for my collection around Christmas time which sort of captures the feeling I had as a kid. 8)

I know I have def got 2 MOC's under the tree from my mum and aunt. Think my kids have got me the new Steve Sansweet book, not vintage but still Star Wars.

That was my present to myself, I did once get a dengar revenge proof card for easter from my parents, But they know nothing about these things, so got it for me from them.

I got my first shuttle one year just before Christmas. It was great, the build of of going to the shop, the decorations and Christmas music everywhere, seeing it in the shop, driving home knowing it was in the car.


I was 28 at the time :lol:

Well done to the missus........

Jeff that is a sweet figure, well done indeed!!

And well done for having a Missus who'd get you one.

Nice!

I have two vintage carded figures coming from the States! Late Xmas pressie.

A Revenge 48 back ESB At At Driver and a 77 back Emperor with Anakin Sticker!

Also getting 10 cases from UK Acrylic!

Be sure to post a pic when they arrive.

And your collection. Be good to see your Luke and Han Bespin focus as these are two I had a mini focus on 8)

Will do! I'm still looking for a 41 back debut Han Bespin carded in reasonable condition!

By the way did the early Palitoy han Bespins have hair with a black brown tint with longer sideburns instead of black?

Well not vintage as such but the kids (by which I mean me on their behalf) picked up a 1980 US advance half sheet for Empire (the gone with the wind version without Yoda in it) a little worn around the edges but nice overall, better when framed I think.
A few angry bird plushes going around, although my daughter seems to have taken them all for herself

My lovely wife poubght be a Gentle Giant 12" Kenner Stormtrooper...so sort of vintage. She also dropped a vintage stormtooper in my stocking to add to my growing army.
And whilst not vintage she also got me the Endor Scalextric set.....fooking amazing!!

Great post - I got an AFA hammerhead and a carded Leia Poncho from my wife and kids

Happy Xmas folks :wink:

The misses once put a fair bit of money to one of my pieces for Xmas!!
She is well cool, comes to Mem every year with me etc :wink:

Would be a dream to receive a surprise Xmas pressie that is a top vintage piece I am looking for to add to my collection! But that just ain't going to happen :x

I'd love the same thing.

Though obviously I mean my misses buying me it, not yours.

Nice..... 8)

Part of my sons pressies included 5 vintage ERG's and the Emperor,R2D2 sensorscope and a really bad Admiral Ackbar(good figure though) reseal,bad reseals are a great way for the kids to open vintage figures lol.

Got these 2 books on Christmas Day. One from my brother and the one on the left from my gran, bless her. Even though there's bits from the prequels, there's still bits about the toys and lots on the OT. Well worth a read.
