Start of my collection

craig51 · Apr 2, 2016

So,

I have been looking at starting a SW collection. I really want some 12backs and will get them, but just need to find some cash.

ANyway, I am well known at work for my toy collecting. Rcently I have just finished my TNG Playmates collection and had most of my figures sent to me at work. This got me talking to a Mum at work who told me shes got a suitcase in the attic of star wars toys which she found and was just going to bin. I asked her to bring them in and I would have a look. Well, look what I got.

I got the tie fighter to work by cleaning the battery terminals after removing the orginal 1980s battery!!!!

All in all pretty happy.

My dilemma now is I never intended to collect loose figures, just carded stuff so I now need to decide what to do with them!

Look forward to seeing more editions.

Nothing wrong with that as a start! Fisher Price character hidden on the edge of the picture is a nice piece too...

Cheers all.

I had a look on gumtree and now my collection is somewhat more significant.

As for the fisher price figure, any more info on that?

I was planning to sell it.

Nothing specific I'm afraid, but to my mind a much overlooked line of toys really.
A handful of them were initially used to mock-up some of the first 12 by Kenner, so there is a SW link to them too.
