[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 444525, member: 7379"] One weekend during my days at university in 1991, I went for a day trip to London and went to Forbidden Planet. They had loads of Tri-logo carded figures, which were heavily biased in favour of the ewoks from the last 17, plus various pristine, brand spanking new Tri-logo boxed ships, including some AT-ATs. This was just a year before I discovered Sansweet's 'Star Wars: From Concept to Screen to Collectible' book and 2 years before I started collecting again, so at the time it was simply a nostalgic bit of window shopping for me. I might have been tempted to buy one or two bits anyway, but I remember being outraged at the thought of parting with (if memory serves), £7.99 for a figure and £50 for an AT-AT... Of course if anyone would like to sell me a MISB AT-AT for £50 today, please get in touch :D [/QUOTE]
