Chewbacca Bandolier Strap:

I think the Chewbacca Bandolier Strap are pretty cool, I never saw it in denmark for sale when I was a kid and I never had it when I was a kid.

I will not be much on the forum this week. I am still cleaning and looking for bugs

This is another item I cannot help with, I'm afraid, as I've never owned one. Hopefully some other forum members can assist though and show theirs?

I have two of these... one sealed, one opened.
This is my sealed one

Can you imagine wearing this as a kid…it wouldn't have lasted long around my way before it was ripped off and chucked over the nearest hedgerow.

Very nice! A less common piece, so well done for having one in your collection, and thanks for sharing

Another piece I've never picked up, but kept meaning to!

Gawd I hated this thing, even when I first got it. My mum bought it for me and I'm sure that is how it went for anyone that ended up with it. I think all parents were sucked in by this image and imagined their own darlings the same way. There is no practical reason to be taking your figures to your mates place like that.

The bandolier never fit, the figures never stayed in the foam holders, and fast forward 40 years - that foam is a melting toxic disaster to anything it touches.

I never had this one when I was a kid, I am not even sure it was sold in denmark. I have never seen it in a danish childhood lot. I agree my foam have also seen better days just like on yoda playset, I try not to touch it. But we can replace it with some new foam but I guess it is not the same we all want vintage stuff
