WOW, Holy smoke's.... Jason that is the best collection I have ever seen and I love the photo's,, I hope there are more to come...

So how did you afford all of this at the tender age of just 17..??

Damn I wish I had the memories you must have as I was to young to collect when the toy's originally came out it must have been great back then to have been a collector.

Fantastic! I remember going on our annual holiday to the Isle Of Man in 1986/7, some of the shops were full of stuff, nobody was buying it at all, sort of reminds me of those old toy shops. Great photos!

All of the Freddy mercury Posed Ackbars on sandpeople MOCs are in this position. Its the only way they would fit in the bubble.

Joe will know but I believe there are 5-6 known examples.

Correct on both points Grant.

Mine now lives with Gary but when I owned it I did confirm there were 4 others out there. So, adding Jason's to the list and we are now up to 6.

Even the rarest miscard combinations are rarely unique unless they are real factory errors, most of them exist in multiples.

Another out of the world collection :shock:

I thought you were standing in a shop at first, then realised it was your collection. Incredible photo's - bet your glad you took the pic's back then (except the fashion :lol: - let you off it was the eighties after all).

Your right about Star Wars fading in 86/87 and fading very, very rapidly, was very uncool in those following years. I always remeber seeing Trilogo's in the bargain bins of shops and half heartedly looking at them, including Tri Yak's thinking Yak Face - WTF is Yak Face - the manufacturer is getting desperate now and I ain't buying that crap. What an idiot I was :roll:

Thanks for posting Jason. Can't wait to see more

Can I just ask what made you want to start buying up Star Wars when you did? Did you just like the stuff that was out and wanted to collect it, or did you think that the toys might be worth a fortune in the future ...or both?

This might sound like a daft question because it's obvious that you love Star Wars. I'm just interested in why people started collecting in the 80's. I only got nostalgic enough to start collecting around 1990, probably around the time that a lot of the guys on here got into it. By that time I had played with the toys as a kid and then grown out of them when high school came along. But then, probably only after a couple of years, rediscovered my love of the toys.

My wish is that I had bought up boxes of unloved Star Wars stock and stashed it away :roll:
