Hi All,
I know it's very uncouth to appear on a forum and immediately be like "HEY LOOK AT MY EBAY SALES" so I'd like to introduce myself before I get into the nitty gritty.
I'm a long time lover of the original Star Wars trilogy. Just slightly too young to see them in the cinema, I was still lucky enough to have loads of the toys, until at some point in the mid-to-late '80s when my mother sold almost my entire collection for pennies.
This would prove to be a big deal for me. As we all know, the late '80s and early '90s were pretty much a dead zone for Star Wars fandom/collecting, but then suddenly Kenner started their new "Power of the Force" line. And, I guess even though I was leaving the age group where buying Star Wars toys (to play with) was acceptable, I threw myself into it like crazy, and collected pretty heavily up until about 1999. You may remember what happened in 1999; the Phantom Menace came out, and made Star Wars seem incredibly uncool. So I fell out of collecting Star Wars stuff completely. However, I had kept almost everything in mint condition, with original boxes, so I stored it all away in my parents house carefully when I went to University, and now, ten years later having lived in Canada for the past five years, I've realized that I should probably clear the stuff out of my folks' house. I genuinely have very fond memories of all of this stuff, but I will never get to really enjoy it; I certainly don't want to ship it to Canada! I hope some other people can pick up and enjoy this stuff.
This first post is my Power of the Force collection, which forms only part of my full collection. Let me know if this kind of thing isn't interesting to the forum, I won't waste your time with the rest if so.

There may be a few guys interested in modern stuff but as a whole this is generally a vintage place. Good luck with the ebay sales. If you uncover any vintage goodness post it up here.
