[QUOTE="sith-smith, post: 567201, member: 43"] I think I stopped around 1985. The last pieces I bought were 3 of the last 17 that were on sale. In my mind I think it was summer of that year, but I could be remembering that wrong. By then I was nearly 13, the Star Wars hype had pretty much died down - I had no idea that there was a new wave of figure, outside of the last 3 I bought - and I think by then I was more into models/train sets. Toy soldiers became quite a big interest - especially as by this time my dad had left his Job at Matchbox and so could buy model stuff from other companies such as Airfix (he would not let me prior to this) so I got into lots of other wars, particularly Napoleonic - matchbox only did some WW2 sets. That remained my interest - along with Warhammer 40k, until 1992, when my love of Star Wars toys returned and I started collecting. :cool: [/QUOTE]
