Odeon in Stoke-on-Trent, March 1978. Now a Theatre, I saw Annie get your Gun there recently and sat in the exact same spot. Obviously the screen has gone and the seats are new, but the deco is exactly as it was back then.

My childhood Threepio cardback has the same sticker (and code). I bought mine from a local toy shop, but I think these are Catalogue codes so no idea how they were sold in shops. I've seen several on EBay with the same sticker.

Most of my figures were bought in Staffordshire, I thought 99p was the standard price across the Country? Where I was figures didn't cost £1.35 until midway through the Empire figures, 20 backs cost £1.12, first Empire wave £1.20. Jedi figures were £1.40, and of course thanks to those hideous...

Blade Runner is a film I need to revisit. Only seen it once, at the cinema in 1982. I was expecting a cross between Star Wars and Alien and was massively disappointed and bored. (I was only 14). Because I hated it so much on first viewing, I've resisted watching it on Video or when it pops up on...

Great read, thanks for taking the time to type it. One of my favourite memories is hearing that a newsagents in my town had a Darth Vader on the pegs, previously impossible to find. I went up clutching a pound note, only to find to my horror that the price had gone up from 99p to £1.02. Luckily...

Yep, clearly a fake. So many giveaways - colours are wrong, font is wrong, card is too wide, bubble wrong, etc. Once you know what to look for these giveaways are obvious. Plus the price, I'm thinking shill bidding here, hopefully no-one has just paid £128 for a bad repro 21 back Fett.

Sad day indeed, one of the great Sci-Fi icons. :(

Well done Steve. A very brave decision financially, but what you lose in not U grading you will make up in other orders I'm sure. Any business that puts customers wishes above their own financial gain won't be forgotten.

Ha! I'd forgot I posted that. Didn't predict those Death Stars though, did I?

Yes. A pointless and destructive practice, one of the worst things to happen to the hobby.

Wow, lot of Birthdays Today. Happy Birthday mate!

Happy Birthday mate, wish my other half got me a Greedo for my Birthday, all I got was a shirt. :(

All the best mate, hope you're having a great day!

So glad I clicked on this thread. :lol:

Thanks guys, it's been a good day - my Hot Toys Stormtroopers arrived this morning, only 6 days from Hong Kong and untouched by customs, result! :D

Incredible! Who would of thought a stash like this could remain undisturbed all this time. I'm curious if this all came to light after Craig's 15k Fett was all over the news? Like everyone else can't wait for more info, happy days! :D

Probably a coincidence, but those four figures were everywhere in staggering quantities back in the day, every shop it was the same - dozens each of Luke, Leia, Chewie and Artoo, and nothing else, maybe the occasional Han or Ben.

If enough people report him maybe Ebay will take notice, but I doubt it. What an asshole.

I really hope it's the Express Journalist who is making this up, but if Keith Guppy is actually claiming to have the worlds largest collection then bullshit Keith, one bedroom full of post 1995 toys does not constitute the Worlds largest collection. ****, you can see bigger collections in the...

Love it! I hope he keeps us informed on the progress of his car repairs and neck surgery, I'm really worried about him. :lol:
