[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 529306, member: 2"] Got to be this one for me (sorry it's packed away so using an old photo.) Bought in around 1995 from a local toy dealer in Poole, Dorset. Luke X-Wing or "Orange Luke" was my favourite figure as a kid, so getting one on a Kenner SW card was one of my very first collecting goals. It cost £100 and aged only 14 at the time I had to save up for weeks to buy it, I paid in instalments and remember how chuffed I was when I finally took it home. My collection has been quite 'fluid' over the years, I regularly sell to fund other purchases, but this MOC was one I hung on to... Until it was stolen in a robbery in 2007. You all know the story by now (there's old threads about it if you don't) but in summary 5 years after the burlgary, forum hero Joe caught the perpetrator selling some of my other figures, and I eventually got it back. It was probably the MOC I was most gutted to lose in the theft because I'd had it such a long time. I was over the moon to be reuinted with it, and it's not going anywhere again :) [ATTACH type="full" alt="luke_xwing1.jpg"]66340._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="bbc-news-theft.png"]66339._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
