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

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

Very, very nice. I always like these collections nicely presented and nicely focused - maybe because mine is like that :D

Some really interesting perspectives - thanks for sharing :D Interesting that there were shrewd collectors/investors back in the 80s who took a (albeit small) gamble that these things that nobody at the time wanted, would be worth money in the future. Unlike those who kept Phantom Menace...

Would like to complete my run of First 12 on SW cards - got 5 to go, so might take a little longer than one year...

Quick update after adding a very nice R2 12 Back - also treated myself to some of the Vintage and Sage collection modern figures. I like having these displayed with the original vintage versions :)

Star Wars and Christmas go together like turkey and stuffing for me :) Here is the proof, me with Palitoy goodness, in 81 and 82 :D

Luke "Walking" Bespin ESB Palitoy, 12 Back Vader, 21 Back Fett :)

Yes, I was a bit nervous - but as mentioned, there is a gap at the bottom where a very thin needle can slide without affecting the seal. I then just gently shook the card to get the footer to the bottom and used the pin to position it in place. Honestly took no more than 1 minute with no damage...
