[QUOTE="shawn_k, post: 82015, member: 531"] It is really hard to pick just 5 items. :) I've tried to pick some that I can remember specific things about acquiring them and are related to my childhood. 1. My childhood The Force Lightsaber. I had a lot of fun with this as a kid and it shows by all the dents in it. I need to get an updated picture. I have this kept at my parents house still for the time being. I remember going to TRU as a kid and seeing one of the boxed displays loaded with these. [img]http://powerofthetoys.com/gallery2pott/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1314&g2_serialNumber=3[/img] 2. Childhood Luke Jedi. This is where the focus started :) I've added the accessories as the originals were lost. Has some paint wear on nose and hands, but actually still in decent shape. I was surprised when I found out it was a no coo figure. I wish I could remember when I got it as I'm guessing it could have been a Trilogo from Kaybee or something. [img]http://powerofthetoys.com/gallery2pott/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1369&g2_serialNumber=3[/img] 3. Young Jedi Mailer. I have very vauge memories of actually receiving this as a child and my older brother helping me decide on which free figure I wanted. I was very lucky to get the letters from a mailed kit and then completed it with paperwork from a sample kit. [img]http://powerofthetoys.com/gallery2pott/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1673&g2_serialNumber=3[/img] 4. Luke Jedi Shipping Box. I didn't even know this existed until this one popped up on a $10 buy it now from a seller that sold all the carded POTF Lukes this once contained. Another one showed up recently on ebay and sold for $70 :shock: which made me appreciate that price even more. [img]http://powerofthetoys.com/gallery2pott/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1368&g2_serialNumber=3[/img] 5. Boba Fett Mailaway. I've always had fond memories of mailaways from being a kid. The filling out the form, sending off for it in the post, and then waiting what felt like ages for the premium to arrive. One of the few modern things I still collect are the mailaways each year. This was the first mailaway figure offered on a cardback and of course one of the coolest. [img]http://powerofthetoys.com/gallery2pott/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1097&g2_serialNumber=3[/img] I wish this would have been a top 10 list, so I could include more items :) Obviously I would have also added my coins, but I didn't think that would be considered one item.
