Slight cheat this update, as these are photos of me at Christmas in probably 1981 and 1982, opening some lovely Palitoy items, which sadly I don't own any more. But it was cool to see these photos, so thought I would share :D

With the regards to the above card - there is sticker residue on the top left (like that when I bought it). Would Goo Gone be the best option to get rid of it and protect the card? Thanks

Just added this really nice SW Luke Skywalker 20 back MOC. Trying to build the first 12 on SW cards - now have Obi-Wan (12), DSC (12), Jawa (20) and now Luke. This is going to be expensive :o

:lol: They were very well played with - but I did always treat them with respect and was grateful for what I had. But some have fared worse than others, R2 is losing most of his sticker and my favourites (Luke Bespin, Han Hoth) all have paint loss and very loose limbs. Most weapons have been...

Thanks everyone - as I mentioned, still loads of loose figures to add when the great stands from Iain arrive :D Was so pleased to see Obi-Wan still had his saber with tip intact - I assumed that would be long gone, but it survived somehow!

My favourite additions so far :) These are my loose figures that I have owned since 1980. My first ever figure was Han Hoth Gear, before I really even knew what Star Wars was. My parents visited us in Prague recently and brought all my old figures for me. Spent a bit of time cleaning them (they...

More of a "re-acquisition"! :D My parents just visited us in Prague and I managed to persuade them to bring all my old figures and accessories from when I was a kid. It was a real joy being re-united with them all - I think some are missing (swore I had a Lando General...) and they all...

I play guitar and have seen similar things (i.e. crazy prices) happening in fairly recent years with vintage instruments. Ones from the 50s - especially Gibsons and Fenders - can go for easily over £100,000 these days. What happened is people wanted to reclaim their youth and buy the guitar...

Thanks, Iain, thought so :) Not so lucky this time :)
