I imagine a lot of these went unsold, hence they still surface today unworn and still boxed. I don't remember these at the time, either in the shops or being worn by friends or other kids. I was 6 in 1978 so I was in a position to know ha ha. I quite like the artwork on the box but the shoes are...

Great collection, I can't wait to see your Star Wars logo cards. I also love the price tags, it just adds something to them that's hard to describe. A time and a place maybe.

I Was born and raised in Preston and I'm still here. I was taken to see Star Wars at the old Odeon on Church Street in 1978, and most of my SW toys and figures will have been bought at Zodiac toy shop in the St. Georges shopping arcade. I still have about half the original loose figures I had as...

Why do you ask, what did you buy from him? Where in Preston are you from? I was Lostock Hall in those days.

Have you considered Vectis auctions in the UK? I think they are near Newcastle.

From your description I think this was the same guy, yeah

I remember a guy on the outside smaller car boot market in the mid 2000's selling a few Star Wars and Action Man stuff, I had a Jedi carded Hoth Soldier off him, and an Action Man Royal Hussar in full uniform which i sold on for a good profit. Perhaps that was him?

Interesting, keep going. I particularly like the mis-bags. Mark.

Congratulations. I'm a newish member, but I have been visiting the forum for a long time. A great resource. Thank you.

Hi there

Star Wars is on ITV right now funnily enough. I suspect it will be the tampered with version though.

I mean, I liked having it and I had it stood up in my bedroom and It looked good. But it didn't actually get played with. Maybe if I had some more of the larger figures things might've been different. The Stormtrooper looks cool and I always thought the Jawa was neat.

I had the 12'' Darth Vader brand new in 1979, but it just wasn't play-friendly. Even if I had other 12'' figures, I wouldn't have played with them. It was all about the small figures for me.

I had Boba Fett, Dengar and IG88 as a child. Never liked or rated any of them (they were all presents) The one I would really have liked, and still don't have is Bossk. I've never, ever, been able to work out all the love for Boba tbh.

I had this figure as a child. No idea why I bought it when I could have chosen something like Boskk or a Snowtrooper. I bought it from the Preston branch of John Menzies with picket money, alongside a Medical Droid. Both my kids played with my Star Wars stuff and she is long gone now.

I spot a red-bar in there, I have one from my childhood which I've posted recently, nice.

I too have him as a saved seller, purely out of curiosity.

Hi all, here is my R5 D4 which is my own childhood toy, probably acquired at Christmas or birthday 1979 or '80. It is well played with : after I had done with it both my sons played with my collection as they were growing up too. I only learned it was a red bar variant maybe 5 or 6 years back...
