[QUOTE="PulsarP, post: 444335, member: 8190"] Great topic! I had 'grown out' of buying toys by the time Jedi came out. I was now 15yrs of age and spent my money on clothes and trying to impress girls. I did go and see the film as soon as it came out of course and bloody loved it. Went to see it a week later. Then after about another month we went on a family holiday to Scotland and took one of my mates. We both wanted to go and see the new James Bond film which was showing in Edinburgh, I think it was 'For your eyes only' or maybe another one from that time. The reason I'm not sure is because when we got there there were Return of the Jedi posters and pictures around the building outside and in so guess what? Yep, I went to see that while he went to see the Bond movie. Back to the toys, The first time I noticed seeing them was a day trip to Skegness with my girlfriend around 1985 and the last time was in 92 when i was working in Doncaster. The bendems had just come out and I bought them as the Timothy Zahn trilogy had sparked my interest. A short time after I popped into a nearby model shop to buy a DV tie fighter model that had been reissued. As I walked in I noticed 3 AT-AT walkers all in nice original boxes on a top shelf. They were asking 30 quid each so I considered it. About 2 days later I went back to buy one and they had all gone. Was gutted. Very shortly after I started to collect again. [/QUOTE]
