It was 27c when I came home from work today so was really nice to have the AC available to cool down. Yes, unfortunatley many homes aren't able to have a permanent AC fitted. But if you can then I would recommend it, even though it's not needed for most of the year. :cool:

We had a permanent one fitted on our wall a few years ago after some sweltering summers. It cost a few thousand but was well worth the money. Even here in Finland wer're experiencing more temperatures close to +30c in the summer and more humidity than there used to be. Just having it available...

"just when you reach an age and you think you've seen and know of everything vintage that was released in the very early days, something like this pops up and that sense of wonder is reignited once again." Yes, @TC-14 I couldn't agree more! I was an eager 10 year old searching for anything I...

I just stumbled across this auction sale from 2020 for these Clarks Star Wars shoes. I certainly can't remember seeing these shoes for sale anywhere back then. I also found a brochure for a whole range of Star Wars shoes plus related Youtube video. I love the artwork on the box. It's amazinig...

Here's a quote from another one of my forums, albeit a few years ago: "A few years ago it used to be quite active but now its almost dead. There's rarely any new post anywhere on the forum. What happened?" That particular forum is also a good 20 years old and just about still going. Yes...

I've mentioned before that I'm a member of quite a few other diverse forums and there does seem to be less activity on some these days. It's probably a combination of things. A few days ago I made a post on another forum and no-one has yet replied. It wasn't a quesion but was hoping for some...

I went to the opening night here in Finland and really enjoyed it. I've not seen any of the series so this was an introduction for me. As others say, great all round entertainment. I liked how they used puppets rather than relying entirely on CGI. Clint Eastward came to mind as soon as I heard...

New to me but was thinking it might be something people here were already aware of. A tad over-priced IMO 😅

I've also seen them in Iceland and it wasn't anything special. I saw them in Finland last year and they were the best I've ever seen - amazing.

What's the lightsaber maker db94?

Just spotted this on eBay today - thoughts? The documentation mentions a Star Wars promotional event at Harrods in 1983, which I remember as I was visiting London at the time but passed on the opportunity to see it for some reason, which of course I now regret. Star Wars original promotional...

I practically gave away my partial set after buying a full set online around 15 years ago. I kind of regret not keeping the ones I'd actually collected back in the 70's out of nostalgia as the condition wasn't the best. Yes, I'd used an elastic band to keep them together 😅.

That's impressive and long may it continue!

Wonderful to see those 'Force Beams' again. I had one with a green light and my brother the red one. Sadly I got rid of them about 1986. Don't see them often even though they were produced in big numbers.

Just saw this on instragram. A new Star Wars shop called The Bunker opening in Barnsley today. Did anyone go there? The Star Wars Bunker

Seems no-one wanted to reply to this one and I'm one year too late. An interesting item with that correction note - I wonder what it sold for? I've still got my original vinyl LP which was signed on the back by Dave Prowse but I never remember getting any free posters with it.

edd_jedi I've found myself in a similar position as you. Ended up collecting (again) the first rental editions of the trilogy. In doing so I discovered this 'variant' issued in a white box. Indeed, you find yourself disappearing down a rabbit hole with such things. I'm resisting getting any...

I think it's sensible to consider these things while you can. Younger collectors here don't need to worry, but time creeps up on us all. I'm knocking on 60 and have been 'thinning down' a large number of different collectables over the years. I may have already commented on this here...

Are all yours graded? And how does that work?

Here's my complete set of all 66, safely stored in a pocket album.
