Cheap Ass Vintage Star Wars Toy Stories...

I used to go in my attic and always found loads of vinyl Cape Jawas. I used to line them up and use my rocket firing Fett to knock them down. The DT figures were used to stop the rockets. Wonder what happened to those?

her nether regions as the Sarlacc

I'm curious - Original Sarlacc or Special edition?

Maybe the Family Guy episode one! :lol:

Ah yes, the memories come flooding back...

When I was 9 I somehow got hold of a cardboard hospital piss pot and made a space ship out of it. Even had a a slide for figures to go down (the tube where your cock would go). I drew on a control panel and some windows. The imagination of a child eh? :lol:

Somehow this needs recreating!!!

Why wait for an X-Wing with battle damage to be released when you can create your own with a box of matches on your Dad's garage floor? I did this at some point in the late 70's and remember getting a roasting as it was no way to treat my toys. How right he was . . .

Like the old old lady says at the end of Titanic - "I don't even have a picture of the piss-pot spaceship. It exists now only in my memory"

I remember a few things. Around the time of Jedi I'd go to the beach with a mate and we would dig down to wet sand and make a small tunnel that you could fit your hand through. We'd fill it up with dry sand and stand Star Wars figures in it. At the other end of the tunnel you could dig out the dry sand and the figures would be swallowed up - we though it was like the Sarlac Pit. We lost some of the little yellow pegs of the cardboard sandcrawler once...

The local garden centre sold little rockerys where you could put small plant pots - this was my Hoth playset. Looked pretty good with snowtroopers - wish I had some photos.

Another thing we did when I was a student was play "tie-bomber tennis". This involved a home made table tennis table with Star Wars figures standing on each corner. The aim was to knock off the other players figures. Pretty good fun. It became known as tie-bomber tennis after we discovered it was easier to hit them with a slow lob type shot. Eventually we had complete rows of figures along each edge.

We also made a speeder bike slot car racing thing after my flat mate found a load of Race'n Chase track at the bins. We used the micro machines from the mid nineties - worked quite well. I was on the dole at the time and spent far too much time on that
