Hope it was a good one - I couldn't make it this time but maybe next year!

I got smashed bidding on Action Force stuff. I spotted a couple of hidden gems but I guess so did someone else and it went so high that I don't know how they could justify it for loose unboxed stuff. I over paid on one AF thing for pure convenience. SW seemed to go sky high.

I'm enjoying it - The vibe seems to be "right" for Star Wars. A WW2/Western feel. I like the fact all the bad guys are not always Stormtroopers. They were supposed to be the elite!

I really enjoyed when everyone was on the one podcast - when they spilt, I have to say I've stopped listening to both. I need to start listening again!

I have discovered later in life that there was a lot of "grey imports" of toys throughout the eighties. Normally not into mainstream shops or channels though. I had friends who scored US exclusive GI Joe and I personally picked up late series Battle Beasts - Both supposedly not available here.

LOL I've done WWF Hasbro as well... not even sure why as I was "too old" for it at the time, and didn't buy it then! Only advice I would say is watch out for fake "repro" weapons when buying. They are common and can result in getting a bit ripped off.

I own that set somewhere - but havent seen it in DECADES.

I will never get into variants - With two exceptions. Blue Snaggletooth and I would like a Luke Jedi with the molded face instead of painted. Purely because his heavy make-up effect face annoyed me. I think I would also like the snap cape - as I had that as a child, and somehow forgot it came...

I think some stuff got ridiculously over produced in the 83-85 era as SW died. SW toys are not and never will be rare.

I bid on a Lando Trilogo general and lost - but I reserved my big bids for Starcom. I bid over 500 each for fair conditioned rare(ish) vehicles with slightly bashed boxes. And lost by miles on each one. My total bids were over 3k and won one (low priced!) non sw thing.

I'm going on the Friday with my two daughters. I havent told the wife yet!!

I'd say around 250 is a good price for that figure.

I really loved it - I can forgive all the silly or badly made bits because of the cast. Leia was very good, I loved seeing alderaan and breha and bail. Reva was a bit useless and badly acted BUT that does seem to have been partially a deliberate choice. Her teenage raging was deliberate and her...

Retirement.... Oh the absolute dream!

I would say, even with it's flaws - I think it's a very enjoyable contribution to the library. If one was to be very meta about it all - SW was a complete homage to the Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers/King of the Rocketmen serials. This show feels similar in terms of staging etc, and with a dash of our...

I enjoyed it. I remember someone back in the seventies calling Star Wars "Enjoyable Hokum" - I felt that was unfair. That is pretty much where Marvel is and now Star Wars has joined them. And I am not sad about that.

Quick story. Two of my friends at school had a mother who had banned TV in the house. They thus became absolute TV junkies, getting as much as they could around the rest of their friends houses. Quick Story 2: We are a bit of a fat family. Food was a little bit fetishised I feel. My brother...

Moth balls! But they do make stuff smell.

Vader and Obi wans meeting in Anh became Odd once we learned of what happened in the days of the prequels.(I remember the volcano stuff from ROTJ time) Let alone when the prequels were actually made! It doesn't chime with the anger that Vader would have had. So this in between meeting does...

End to the story: we ate the bean burgers today. She liked the bean burgers.
