Hi
I'm Paul & I hope to complete my childhood collection of Vintage Star Wars figures.
My dad bought me my first Star Wars figure, Chewbacca, whilst on a work trip to the US of A in the late 70's. After that I was hooked and bought as many other figures as I could. My collection grew until I had pretty much all of the original 79 (ish) figures. All of my figures were played with so over the years I lost a few weapons and a few figures.
Eventually I stopped playing with the figures but I refused to let my parents get rid of my figures or toys.
I had stopped collecting by the time the Power of the Force figures came out.
My figures eventually got put in sealed individual bags, put in shoe boxes and stored in dark cupboards. The toys were safely stored in boxes, but unfortunately not the boxes they came in.
The figures & toys will shortly be coming out of storage and will be put on display in my house, as soon as i can get some suitable glass display cabinets.
Then I'll be posting on this forum & trying to complete my loose figure collection.
When I was still a child I managed to acquire a few spare figures. I swapped my play people pirate ship for my friends entire Star Wars Collection. He still regrets it to this day.
Anyway hopefully I'll be able to do some fairer swaps and deals with people on here. My priority will be to complete my childhood collection of loose figures & weapons. Then i may try and get the last 17 in loose played with condition. I'm hoping that when i dig out my collection I'll find a Jawa with a vinyl cape and I'll be able to swap it on here & complete my collection. I know i had a vinyl cape Jawa as a child, but i doubt very much that i still have it. But I'm sure ill have something that someone is after.
Anyway ramble over until some point in August when i shall reclaim my Star Wars collection from the safety of my mothers house.
Thanks to those who created & contribute to this Forum, it has made me determined to complete what I started along time ago.................
