Some really nice Bossk action here, especially love the Mexican bootleg and the battle damaged one (think we should have a close up of that head, Apack, horrific, ), I only have my childhood one and its card, eyes left ! think you can just see his cap2 in the background on patrol on Tatooine...

And why is the selection here so lame? It takes months, if not a year to get some of the figures that were supposed to be in the first or second wave. Maybe Hasbro just can’t be arsed with Star Wars anymore in the UK? Sorry if this is an old moan and has been covered before. I think that I...

Thanks for all the memories guys, I remember being mesmerized by all the wall of dioramas on all the boxes lined up in the toy shops back then, I think the magic was having the figures well placed around the ships / playsets in the photo's, I don't think you get that with the more modern toys...

Sounds like a cheese dream to me, had you been eating cheese before bed, :D I used to have a reoccurring dream where I bought a storage locker and under the usual rubbish was a vintage star wars collection, Palitoy Death Star playsets the lot, all for me, then you wake up and it time for work...

I loved all the above Forbidden Planet always used to fascinate me as a kid and I think got me interested in sci-fi even before Star Wars , and well as the usual lost in space, Tom Baker , Blake's 7, Battle star, Original Star Trek, I also remember more obscure programs intriguing me as well...

Thanks for all the wonderful stories guys , I remember before the market shop I was probably 10 around 1980 -81, I used to get some figures on my birthday at a toy shop called music and toys. I remember saving up for ages and amassed about £20 quite a bit back then. Off I went to the shop...

Remember it well 10p for the 2000ad and 5p for the packet of space dust that left 5p for 10 half penny sweets :D

I was just thinking the other day, am I alone in the type of place I used to buy figures between 1982 and 1984, I have mentioned this on other threads but never really heard of anyone who had a similar experience as me. Most of the hype of the films was over and I found that my local hardware /...

I agree with all the above, when I was growing up and playing with toys in the late 70's early 80's we would think nothing of setting up huge dioramas in the garden with mud, boxes and old polystyrene nicked from the supermarket when mum was doing the shopping. Star wars , action man, mac men...

I did love CHiPs as a kid, one of my fav shows along with the bionic man of course, (TJ Hooker comes to mind as well), ahh the late 70's early 80's TV you can't beat it, really nice collection Seahawks, da da dadadad da da , da da ddad da da da da :lol:

Luke Bespin never really interested me much as a kid so I'm going to vote with my 11 year old head on :)

Thanks Cazza on real photos back then i'll try to scan one at work and upload as long every one else don't mind us turning this into a vintage v dub thread may have to go off topic :lol:

I really regret at least once a month selling my white 1967 beetle in 1993, ~(had loads if vdubs since none come close) and my vintage action man collection about the same time but for star wars I sold some mint in box Jedi stuff at st / slave one and figs to a dealer about this time too that I...

I'm going to say you guessed it, Bossk the greatest of all vintage figures great thread :D

Thanks for this Jason and the effort involved with putting it together, I would have loved to have has this as an eight year old, really liked the voice over actors take on each character and how they portrayed each character and the artwork :D

love the star wars 8 track that takes me back, my 8 track player finally gave out in the 80's :D cool advertising items would look really good framed in a man cave :)
