Have posted these before in my collection thread - but thought nice to share here again :)

These would be Christmases 1981 and 1982.

And this was I think 1983 or 1984

I found another one over Xmas, this is my little brother Fred with our Snow Speeder. Might be my knee at the top :) The photo was taken when we lived in Lincolnshire so that dates it 1986.

This was where my childhood collection was at by early 1984 before the allure of the ZX Spectrum moved me away from Star Wars toys. That and a pathological hated for the Ewoks.
I added a few more figures during early 1984 to the lot you see here - Prune Face, The Emperor and at Christmas time 84 my folks got me a JEDI Luke X Wing pilot. Last ever figure for a good 25 years was in the Summer of 85 when I sent off for good old Anakin.
Sadly there's no pics of me actually playing with my Star Wars figures but from 1981 to 1984 nothing else mattered...

I managed to improve it a bit with Photoshop, if you can give me a proper scan it could potentially be even better :)

Thanks, I was pretty lucky with the figures and ships I received :) Wish I had some pics with my Falcon and X Wing, as they were my faves. Sadly all the ships etc have long gone (probably given away for jumble sales etc) but all my figures survived and are now proudly displayed at home :D

Some excellent photos lads, with even better back stories.
I wish i had photos from back in the day, but it appears that my folks didn't take many. I'm hoping that my aunt and uncle may have some somewhere.

My aunt and uncle have told me that they have had a good look and they can't find any either :cry:

I'm determined to join your gang one day :D

Great job on the photo Ed
