    When and why did you stop collecting SW

    I don't remember ever getting any Trilogo or last 17 figures or toys at all. All my Star Wars was on Empire and Jedi packaging. I was still getting them in 1984, possibly 1985 and still into them until about 1986/1987 then when I started senior school in 1987 I think I lost interest. Not really...

    Retro Gaming For Sale

    That's a good question mate?! I don't actually know. I have a fair few Megadrive games like this Shinobi and it plays them. Shows my ignorance, is Genesis the U.S version or something? It has a switch to change between NTSC and PAL so I guess it plays both. The SNES slot is U.S game shaped but a...

    Retro gaming new acquisitions

    Got myself a Super Nintendo the other day, been wanting one for a while. It’s in good clean condition and all original. I have a modern machine that plays Nes, Snes and Megadrive and we’ve got Nes and Snes on the Switch (which is great) but it’s not the same. There’s something about the feel of...

    First ever Star Wars Item

    I’ve pondered this question before and I can’t remember the first Star Wars toy I got. I have worked out roughly when though, it must have been about 1981/1982. I remember Empire Strikes Back packaging, I got a Snowspeeder and the Millenium Falcon. I definitely missed Star Wars packaging. I wish...

    Don’t give up mate. I looked out for this price sticker for over ten years then two came along within a couple of months. And it was also a small local shop.

    RIP Carl Weathers

    What a legend! Great actor, great screen presence. Loved him in Predator but he’ll always be Apollo Creed to me. He was good in the Mandalorian too. Saw him at Brighton Comicon some years ago. Sad day ☹️

    Vintage Kenner Star Wars Collecting research survey

    I did the survey also. It’s quite interesting, gets you thinking about your collecting habits. The questions towards the end made me realise how much you learn over time and how to not get stung. Amazing how it’s evolved over just the ## years I’ve been doing it. Those at it in the 90’s must...

    Childhood Toy shop

    So… I cannot actually believe it. After looking out for this price sticker for over ten years with no luck, two come along within a couple of months..! I’ve just got another one off eBay, again from a tip off from Dan Whiteley. It’s much nicer, in lovely condition without the name tag cut out. A...

    Snow pics

    Yes! Love it. I seem to remember flying my Snowspeeder over my snow covered garden in the mid 80’s. Had some good snow in those days. I think Action Man was out in the snow too 😊
