[QUOTE="kingshearer, post: 187874, member: 4301"] A Palitoy Death Star - I had a 20 back card back and used to droll over that picture of one for hours (it was probably only seconds but it felt ages). I didn't believe they existed since no one I knew had one and the nearest we got was my brothers mate who had the Action force HQ (I was dead jealous cos I collected those too) I used to try and build a DS out of cardboard boxes and it would always turned out naff - a felt tip pen in the hands of a 6-8 year old was never good for drawing control panels etc. I finally bought one about 12 years ago off Jim 'Star Wars' Stevenson and I then bought another one about 8 years ago on ebay since the box and playset were much better and £100 less. Back to the subject - The best Christmas I had was around 1981 when I got the Millinnium Falcon. When I first went into the sitting room there was just rubbishy presents and I was a bit disappointed - adding to the misery was the fact that my brother got a motorised bike which looked dead expensive. Fortunately my parents had played a dirty trick on me and said "There should be another present for you somewhere have a look for it" so I frantically started checking everywhere - finally I pulled the couch back and there was the biggest wrapped present I had ever seen - a Palitoy ESB Falcon = My best xmas ever. My mam subsequently gave away most of my star wars toys when I grew up(!) including the falcon - so I've replaced them recently with 2 Palitoy ESB Falcons and a mint SW Kenner falcon. [/QUOTE]
