A few years ago I was contemplating selling off parts of my collection but thankfully I held onto all but 1 figure (Yak Face, sold for £220) and gave it all to my 6yr old son (5 when I gave him the toys) and he is obsessed with them.
We're now rebuilding and expanding the collection, buying back some items I sold off (snow speeder, imperial hoth base, wampa) and some items I never previously owned (tie fighter, millenium falcon, ewok village, the few figures I never had, retro Govenor Tarkin, some Stan Solo stuff like the Bantha, slave Leia, and a few others), and also pimping some of the old stuff, buying missing vintage pieces for some of the space ships (x-wing canopy and guns), and new stickers for Slave 1 and the AT-AT. I haven't spent any time with my collection since I was about 11 so to get them out of the storage boxes in the loft and set up little bases for my son has really revived my interest in and enjoyment for collecting them.
Looking forward to add to the collection further!
