Hi!
My name is Johan. I am a 47 years old man from Sweden.
In my childhood i played a lot with Star wars vintage figures. In the years around 1983 i was a little boy who loved to play with and collect figures and ships and more. I was a little bit different from my friends when it came to my toys. I used to put them on a shelf in a wardrobe with space between every figure just to keep them in mint condition. My ships were stored in their own boxes and i played carefully with them. Later they all got stolen in a burglary in my house.
I think it was around 2011 when i got interested in these things again and i started to collect loose figures. I got this nostalgic feeling every time i bought some new figures that i had been looking for a while.
Now i wanted to join you guys here to get to know the vintage world better. I am thankful to have this opportunity to do that.
Best regards/Johan

Sorry mate to read that the thief was never found. Was there any boxes, cardbacks or moc in your collection that was stolen ? and do you have pictures of the items that was stolen ?

Hi again!
There was a couple of boxes. Tie-fighter and Ewok-glider, also maybe some more. All figures were loose with weapons and in MEGA PERFECT MINT condition. The boxed items were perfect also.
Sorry, no photos. They were stolen somewhere around 1997.

Sorry mate to read that you do not have pictures of them and that it was so long ago. If you had pictures of them. Then I am sure members on the forum would look for them for you sometimes there is always something on a box, cardback or moc that can ID them. Price stickers or some damages. Forum members have found stolen star wars toy before
