What did you have as a kid?

[edd_jedi]

Another thread gave me an idea to list what we all had as kids. Some of you have very impressive collections now so it would be interesting to see what you had back then too (if any.) It's obviously difficult to remember everything, but here's what I remember. This was all shared with my 2 brothers too:

Vehicles/Playsets/Mini Rigs
Millennium Falcon
Y-Wing
X-Wing
AT-ST
Snow Speeder
Speeder Bike
AST-5
Ewok Glider
Jabba Playset

Figures/Creatures
I can't remember enough to list all of them, but I probably had about 30 or so. I was too young for Star Wars and Empire, so a lot of the earlier figures that I really wanted (such as Luke X-wing) were not available. I definitely did have:

Luke Bespin
Luke Jedi
R2-D2 (Pop up sabre)
Darth Vader
Rebel Soldier
B-Wing Pilot
Bib Fortuna
Boba Fett

There are a lot of figures/vehicles that I wasn't even aware existed until I started 'collecting' including most of the playsets and POTF figures.

As I only went to a department store once there's a lot I didn't know existed. This is what I had:

Millennium Falcon
DV Tie Fighter
AT-ST
Jabba throne
DV carry case
Speeder bike
And probably about 30 loose figures.

 

[aussiejames]

all first 77 figures ( I stopped 'collecting' before POTF - well moved countries)

 

[2stripes]

I remember what I didn't have.. Asked for an AT-AT but my folks couldn't afford it. What did it cost back in the day, probably about 1983 for me? Wonder what it would cost in today's money too. They were pretty broke back then bless them!

So I got a snow speeder and loved it and Luke x-wing has always been my favourite figure since. Love watching my youngest playing with the beaters I bought him but he likes the mini clone war figures too which in fairness are pretty cool.

I honestly cant remember what I had, my mates owned loads too so it's a bit of a blur as to who owned what. I remember Richard Owen keeping his ewoks all minty on his shelf because his mum wouldnt let him take them down to play with. That lads bedroom was freakishly tidy, the poor sod! :lol:

I hade all the figures from the Star Wars and the Empire Strikes Back. Most from Jedi apart from: Rancor Keeper, Nikto, Klaatu (Skiff outfit), Teebo. And from the last 17 I had Romba, Imperial Dignitary, Luke Poncho, Luke Stormtrooper and R2D2 pop up.

I had the Han Solo blaster toy too.

All sadly gone now except the Rebel Transport which I think is lurking around my parents attic.

You think? If there was even a slim chance some of my old toys were still in my parents attic, I#d be there digging it all out right now :lol:

[Bollux]

I must have had about 30 figures, nothing special other than Luke Stormy and Han Carbonite that I got for 50p from a discount store towards the end of the run.

Falcon
AtAt
ATST
Xwing BD
Few minirigs
Waaaaaaaaaampaaaaaaaa

No playsets, I cant remember seeing any as a kid other than the Star Destroyer and its gorgeous ESB packaging.

 

[Palifan]

Here's my list -

First 20 from Star wars including VCJ except for Hammerhead.

From the 30 backs (A&B) I was missing FX-7, White Bespin, Bespin Leia, Lobot, Han Bespin, Ugnaught, Leia Hoth. I didn't get any more from the Empire series although I did get the mail away Boba Fett and Dengar.

From Jedi I had very few, Luke Jedi, Gammy, ERG, Biker Scout and the mail away Emperor.

Playsets and vehicles -

Palitoy Death Star
Palitoy Cantina
Palitoy MLC-3

As you can see, not much to play with really except the figures but I used to make a lot of playsets myself and my AT-AT I made out of cardboard was more correct to scale with the figures than the ones you could buy (although a lot of imagination was needed :lol: ). I was a Star Wars nut but I guess my parents couldn't afford a whole lot back then.

The only other thing I had was a 12" C-3PO which was probably the worse 12" figure to have and didn't really mix well with my Bionic man.

 

[Snake_eyes_82]

Vehicles/Playsets/Mini Rigs
MTV-7 x 2
Speeder Bike x 2
Tie fighter
Jabbas Palace

Here's my haul -

All birthdays, xmas and pocket money for about 5 or 6 years! I count myself as a very lucky boy, and still do as I have this lot today. Marvellous.

My parents were pretty tight so all I had was what is listed below. I'd like to note tho that I was offered a brand new MISB Falcon instead of the X-Wing and some Mini Riggs and being the stupid Cu*t I am I took the X-Wing and Mini Riggs. I regreted that decision big time...

[x-pack]

Loved my At-At when i was a kid (as you can see). Got that for crimbo in 1982. The only figure i remember buying was the Vader.

Other than all this i had -

Millenium Falcon
Rebel Transporter
B-Wing
Snowspeeder
Die-cast snowspeeder
Darth Vader Tie
Slave 1
Forest Ranger
Speeder Bike
One man sail skiff
Jabba
Rancor Monster
Han Blaster

Those are the ones i can remember except figures. Had loads of them ..and lost loads of them. Never knew i had so much :shock: That was the great thing about parents splitting up i guess

Looking at the photo they really should have been buying me a new sweater, not Star Wars Toys :lol:

 

[Richard_H]

Wow, we had some really lucky kids here. Great photos guys.

 

[x-pack]

I know :shock: Must have been more spoiled than i remember. Can't believe that others seem to have had complete figure sets. I dreamed of that back in the day
