Like most on here I had a large collection of the range back in the early 80s. I kept it all pretty meticulously as a child and had so much fun playing with those figures and ships. I kept it all in my parents loft for decades after.
Then around 2013, I gave a large part of it away to a family member as he had a small boy who loved Star Wars. I kept half of it but I figured he would get more use out of it. But I always had a nagging doubt that I should have kept those childhood things
Then the Force awakens rekindled my love for all things Star Wars. My own kids were just beginning to show a real interest in the films and the figures I still had and the fun we had playing with them along with nostalgia watching them play really made me regret it. I bought some stuff on eBay, but it's not *quite* the same...
I was resigned to the fact I wouldn't see it all again. Anyway the other week he contacted me to see whether I wanted it all back. He was having a clear out and it was gathering dust and he would rather repay the favour and let us have it back to get some use out of it!
I just took delivery of:
Ewok village
Snowspeeder
Rancor
Jabba
Y wing
Xwing
And about 20 figures. All look like they were barely played with.
To say I am happy is an understatement. Practically My whole childhood collection is back with me (except a white tie fighter I threw away at the same time - what was I thinking!!)
Looking forward to many more years of play and enjoyment.
