That's pretty much how I felt about all the random Ewoks that were springing up on cards by the time I left Star Wars collecting behind first time round. Seeing Paploo, Lumat etc and the Ewok Combat Glider and Village Playset in the shops just finished things off for me. It might have been...

but certainly the last time I remember buying a figure was when I picked up Luke in Stormtrooper outfit for, as I recall, 49p, in Scotch Corner in Kilmarnock... Yes, that was THE shop in Kilmarnock for the toys. I reckon that about 90% of my original SW toys came from upstairs in that amazing...

Another dose of nostalgia here I'm afraid. Curious to know the experience of others regarding when they last spotted the figures and vehicles being sold in the 1980s before they disappeared from shop shelves for good. I moved on from buying Star Wars around about my tenth birthday when I got a...

This was where my childhood collection was at by early 1984 before the allure of the ZX Spectrum moved me away from Star Wars toys. That and a pathological hated for the Ewoks. I added a few more figures during early 1984 to the lot you see here - Prune Face, The Emperor and at Christmas time...

One of my most treasured Star Wars toys childhood memories is from the Summer of 1983 when on a sunny and warm day myself and other neighbourhood kids pooled all our beloved SW toys together for a massive action display or "set up" as we used to refer to them. Cameras were borrowed from parents...

It's a fantastic video, thanks very much for uploading it to YouTube. I've watched it a good half dozen times since discovering it online this morning. I love seeing footage from when Star Wars broke in the UK, I think because I was only 4 in '78 and so missed it all at the time. Cheers again...

And here's the YouTube link. It's full on vintage Star Wars from 3 minutes and 25 seconds in.... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I9WVNMYPpJQ

Hi Coomes30, Your post sent me back to check my own fan club Bantha Tracks etc stuff and I've got a few spares including an original and unused Bantha Tracks patch. You can have it for nothing (got some spare stamps here too) so please drop me a message and I'll get it posted off to you today if...

Really enjoyed reading that, thank you for sharing it. Someone out there should compile people's recollections of childhood 'Star Wars' toy collecting and put it into a book with accompanying pics of "back in the day". I am really looking forward to Craig Stevens' forthcoming "Star Wars - Made...

Thanks for the replies guys, it's encouraged me to type a wee bit more. Truth be told, I'm actually a sucker for Star Wars childhood related nostalgia and these are my favourite threads. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading other's reminiscing so here's a little bit more regarding vehicles and...

I can still remember my first few figure purchases like it was only, er, 35 years ago. Oddly enough, I have no memory of having even heard of 'Star Wars' or having seen anything related to it until that day in 1981 when I stood looking up at a massive selection of carded ESB figures in the...

Hello guys, I've not heard from Dave at all so I'm assuming that he's not doing the Palitoy discs anymore. So...is anyone out there willing to part with their Palitoy DVD ( or even knock up a DVDr ) in return for plentiful cash renumeration in thanks this side of Xmas? I may never be able to own...

PM duly sent Ron, thanks. Rob
