Recently a number of very old collection threads of mine have been bumped to the top. The benefit of this has been chatting with newer collectors about the hobby and how my collection has changed. I haven't always been a Palitoy or trilogo miscard collector...and here is the evidence!
The threads were...
Palitoy Room This was updated with additional pictures several times towards the last 5 or so pages.
Vehicle & playset collection
POTF
Miscards
This prompted me to look back over old pictures to see what I could find.
Sadly I can't go that far back as I cannot find pictures of my room when it was entirely Kenner on display, but I have found some that show the transition from Kenner to Palitoy which people have asked me to post.
Firstly, the POTF wall with boxes of Palitoy waiting to be displayed...I think that's a box of Trilogos.
Another shot of the room. More trilogos waiting to be displayed and a desk of Palitoys!!
I did find this one that shows some of the ROTJ kenner cards above the loose figures and the beginning of the run of POTF. Also there is still a window in the room, you can see the blue curtains...there won't be for much longer
Cupboard full of Kenner MOC removed from the walls
The window has now been boarded up. Initially I moved the POTF here as the other 3 walls became entirely Palitoy. There is also some Kenner Boxed vehicles and playsets, which were also replaced when possible unless they were very different to the Palitoy version. You can even see the shelves that have the first 20 Palitoy cards on them...though they had been there for about 4 years at this point.
The picture above with the loose figures does not have the DT's or the Droids/ewoks figures yet (or the 2 vlixes). I got MOC sets of the droids/ewoks which joined the POTF wall built in front of the window. The only picture I can find is of the 6 Ewoks cards. These all were sold as more space became needed.
That's about all I could find, searching through 2 computers and countless picture files. If I find any more I'll add them to this thread.
