Hi guys (and girls?),
Amazing finds over the last couple of days for everyone- most of the items where proper high brow holly grails. Maybe this thread should be changed to 'holy grail' finds as there are so many of them daily.
I started collecting when i opened up Steve Sansweets- Concept, Screen, Collectable book in 1994. I was a crazy star wars child but as i turned each page i got more and more sucked into nostalgia and excitment. The action figure page was the straw that broke the camels back. I had all the star wars figures.....but i didnt. I had Anakin and Imperial Dignitary.......but didnt even know of the exsistence of the other last 17. I remember being in that forbidden planet in Cardiff. I only had £10 pocket money and had spent some of that on the 2 hour bus ride. The book was £13. I looked in my pocket and some how i had just over £13. I have no idea where this extra cash came from. Maybe the bus driver gave me to much change.
I had my Bible! I was hooked!
Everything in that book is a holy grail.
Today is my birthday and I got one of those holy grails.
Keep the pictures coming guys- you have inspired me this week to get a VC Jawa, an ESB 3 pack, Yak Face MOC, another 12 back and a Luke with Blue saber. I have no idea how im gonna find or pay for them.......but its nice to be inspired.
Laterz,
