Thought I'd post this up in case anybody hasn't seen it before, interesting piece on how Kenner adapted existing toys for the Star Wars range, and continued to use them for other ranges after the films had finished. http://theswca.com/images-speci/recycle/

More repro weapons :x

I remember that, hot braids on the car and overheated throttles, brilliant. My set came with a mains operated power pack.

Don't discount eBay completely, although there are a lot of vintage repop weapons and accessories listed on there it's probably still the best place to pick figures and vehicles up, ask the seller questions and if you are still unsure whether something is genuine or not move on. You can also...

When I read the title I thought they would be scented candles with Star Wars illustrations on them, no, they are actually the smells of Star Wars, Wookie, Bantha, Trash Compactor, etc. Bonkers. :)

Surely even doing this, which is plainly wrong, doesn't make a Snowtrooper a true YPS figure, for a Snowtrooper to be classed as a YPS one it has to come with the comic and bag it was issued with, YPS being the name of the German kid's magazine it was given away free with. When I was looking at...

Yes, it was Crash magazine, I used to get it myself before the poor old rubber keyboard on my Spectrum had enough, then had a Commodore 64 which had a similar magazine called ZZAP! 64.

My vote goes to Whole Lotta Rosie, AC/DC, Genius 8) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKlO0hM-zMw

I never had any vehicles when I was young but the figures were ripped of the card as soon as I got them and the packaging thrown away, the thought of keeping it just didn't occur to me. With some of the Palitoy release first 12 figures, Chewbacca, Stormtrooper Han Solo, a good condition cardback...

Used to love the toy pages in those old catalogues, Freemans, Littlewoods etc, they also had another attraction for boys of a certain age shall we say :D

Other than Star Wars, Black Hole, VINCENT is still one of my favourite figures. Battlestar Galactica. Mego figures. Scalextric. Micronauts, the magnetic ones in black and white, robots and horses that fired missiles! Britains figures, WW2, Cowboys and Indians, Knights, Stargards and Aliens...

Is this them back up again? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263971366273?ViewItem=&item=263971366273

Thanks for the post, bit expensive that one for me, seem to be quite difficult to find on their own. Cheers.

Wow, really is a display piece only then.

Still looking :)

Serious bit of kit here, collectors series Falcon, weighs in at 10kg!, looks a lot of fun albeit very expensive. https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/lego-and-bricks/lego-star-wars/lego-75192-star-wars-millennium-falcon-collector-set/p/168282

That's a lot to spend just to look at a box.

Sad news to hear, loved American Graffiti as well, RIP.

Being bought a Darth Vader and Stormtrooper figure from Zodiac Toys in early 1978, when I was 7, I was also lucky enough to see Star Wars at the Odeon in Leicester Square shortly after it was released as a treat on a trip to London. I think we also went to Madame Tussauds and had a trip on a...
