[scroggs]

I was 4 when first went to watch star wars on its release still remember queing right round the corner, my first 2 figures were chewie and r2 after i had come out of hospital lost the bowcaster straight away :x Still rememeber having to wait for months to get fett couldnt get him anywhere for ages, although could get the 12" fett but my nan wouldnt spend that much on one so she bought me cap 2 8)

I love to hear my parents talking about when they used to go christmas shopping for my starwars stuff

nothing to do with star wars but a story my mam tells me is one christmas eve after trying every where for a optimus prime ,her friend phones saying there is one at asda
so my mam shoots through in super thick fog while her friend guards this prime ,bless her ...arnt mums great

My mum often told me how she walked down walthamstow market during her lunch hour carrying the boxed at at under arm.

And she ain't a big women.

:lol:

i remember i won a tri logo bib fortuna at a hook-the-duck on brighton beach in about 1990. i bet they had loads of other figures there too, they were probably the boobie prize back then :lol:

i wonder how many people would be kicking themselves if thery knew how much these things would be worth in just 10 years

 

[Bollux]

I AM!

:evil:

 

[sith-smith]

I do frequently.

In fact, i'm kicking myself right now.

 

[Bollux]

I kick my mother instead!

She's the one that told me to sell them all for Ã'£20 when I was a kid!

Ironically enough she's now the one buying them back for me as birthday and christmas presents.

That'll teach her!

:twisted:

 

[sith-smith]

First memory of the films is seeing Star wars and Empire Strikes Back in a double bill in Reading!
My Mum claims my first figs were C3 P0 and R2 D2 bought on holiday at Saunderfoot (Nr Tenby S.Wales). I lost my first Luke Bespin on that beach as well!!!
Have some great christmas photos. One's got a darth Vaders Star Destroyer box in background one has Slave One!! Will get them off Mum and scan them in!

 

[craignwo4life]

Bonfire night always brings back a Star Wars memory for me. :lol:

I never liked fireworks as I thought they were a waste of money so I always asked for a present instead and will always remember buying a Wampa on the 5th November years ago!! 8)

christmas was great when you were a kid it even had its own special smell to it ....FANTASTIC

 

[sith-smith]

For some strange reason, the smell of satsumas always reminds me of Christmas.

 

[jedi_masters]

i can remember my dad bringing home a box of star wars figures from work when i was about 8 i think, 1992. i can remember exactly what was in the box:

2 x loose nikto
2 x 8D8
klaatu skiff guard
klaatu
gamorrean guard
luke jedi
darth vader
the brown mini rig (cant remember its name)

from then on i was hooked. think my dad was pleased as well coz it meant i had something to put my money towards rather than just sweets!!!!

Mate I can still the see afternoon at a carboot sale showing some shitty little kid how to transform the various autobots and decepticons I had.

Cant remember how I sold my He Man stuff but I know that I did!

awful times....

 

[sith-smith]

If there's one thing I don't regret, it the fact that i never sold my toys as a kid and I still have all my original stuff 8)

thats not strange, satsumas are traditionally eaten at Christmas (I dont know why) we always used to get one in our stockings from Santa! what lucky kids we were :shock:

I sold all my action man and star wars toys to buy bmx gear. I went racing once after that, what a waste

we used to go to the panto and at the end get a satsuma and apple of santa.
and only the other week i found out that santa was my uncle ,and by the sound of it i was the only person in our family who didnt know.
least its one way to find out what your kid wants for christmas

 

[sith-smith]

I can remember going to pantos at Christmas.

God, i'd really suppressed those awful memories well.

Thanks for making them resurface. :evil:
