Picked this up a few weeks back. Only need prune face now to complete the 13 middle Tri Logo's.

Not your usual latest acquisition but it's definitely vintage! I've been toying over the idea of buying a VHS player for a few years since getting a CRT, and finally pulled the trigger last week.

These are the VHS tapes I bought from Tesco back in 1994 that were responsible (along with Sansweet's book) for getting me back into Star Wars. I would have been 12 or 13 when we bought these, I remember seeing them on the end of a checkout at Tesco and convincing my Mum to buy them for me. They still even have the Tesco stock stickers on the inside of the boxes! I literally watched these hundreds of times during the 90s and early 2000s until the DVDs came out.

They had been in my parents loft for probably 20 years so I wasn't sure if they would still work, there was a bit of mould on the Empire tape but I managed to clean it off. And they still work! That CBS Fox animation at the beginning takes me straight back to being a kid. The next time I watch the films, it will be these rather than streaming.

I took down our old video player down from the loft yesterday. It’s just sitting under the TV looking retro cool but now I’m thinking I should get it hooked up to an old tv and enjoy the few videos I have.
Thanks for the idea (y)
