Top FIVE Vintage items that YOU own (TAKE PICTURES!) v2009

Joe, I'm not mad yet. At least not madder than I was before. :?
First up is my original Tusken Raider. I remember losing his Gaffi stick while playing in my late grandmother's garden. I searched for it all evening until it got dark, but I've never found it again. His cape was also damaged at one time. He's now fully refitted and as mean as ever. 8)
Second is the first ever figure my girlfriend gave me when I had just started collecting. We bought it at the Space Oddity store in Amsterdam and I remember I was giddy at getting such an expensive figure. Little did I know. :roll: (Tatsie stay away from me damnit :x )
Third is my magnificent MIB Palitoy AT-AT. A classmate of mine had one and I remember being very very jealous as there was no way in hell I would ever get one. The closest I ever got to it as a wee lad was the PDT-8. :lol:
Fourth is my lovely MISB closed belly Taun Taun. I adored this toy when I was little. It represented Star Wars for me.
And last but not least my Bi-Logo MIB Millennium Falcon. I inherited a collection from a friend of mine (thanks Chris!) and this was part of it. This friend was told to get rid of all of it because his house was too small and his girlfriend wanted room for her candle collection. :roll: His loss but my gain I guess as his figures and ships got me into collecting. The Falcon was incredibly dirty and I spent many many hours cleaning it up. I restored the electronics even though I'm hopeless with my hands, and bought the original instructions, the bilogo poster and even an original decal sheet as my friend had never applied the decals! So I'm now proud to call it MIB. 8)

Wow Emiel, those are some great choices! You included a mushy one as well :wink:
Great story on the Tusken, I bet his gaffi stick went up a hoover! LOL he must be glad you restored him to his former glory!
As always, those ships that you collect look cool as ever, nice choices, even better stories

5. This little guy makes it all worth while Picked this little dude up off a Danish collector thinking it might be something like unpainted factory overstock or unpainted production run. Have discussed with a few knowledgable guys from RS and at least 2 think it is a dated First Shot like Dan Flarida's which appears in this link:-
