Vintage 10 minute Memory Challenge - Read 1st Post first

Hi Guys,
I had a spare 10 minutes in my lunch break so I set myself a challenge of writing down the names of all of the Vintage Star Wars figures from memory.

Disappointingly I ran out of time before I could get them all. There were 2 which wouldn't come to me until after the ten minutes had passed. :roll:

I thought it may be interesting to see if we had similar thoughts on "The Characters I care least about"

I know what my 2 are, I won't publish them just yet as they'll obviously be your first 2.

Do you have a spare 10 minutes? If so have a go, no cheating though.

Congrats if you get all of them within 10 minutes.


Apologies if this has been done before

EDIT: I've just been stuck on a coach for a bit and thought i'd try to do this again with my son. I must be slipping, i only got 93 this time instead of 94, and the 3 i missed were different to the ones i missed last year.

Give it a go. You too Grant, you couldn't be any worse than last time!

No peeking now and looking at the others results until you have done it.

Great idea! Will have a go when I get home. I think (hope!) I'll get all of them.

are we talking 79 or 96?

Whats a star wars figure?

Care least about Anakin and Imp dig.
No point writing a list out to find that out.

Ouch, I think I need a new hobby, I forgot 17 figures :?

I mean, how the **** could I forget Yak Face, Dengar, Bossk, Ackbar and Biker Scout :roll: :lol:

I dont feel so bad about forgetting Bib Fortuna, Madine, Teebo and Ree Yees though :wink:

Go for all 96!

My Goodness you Ed forgot some basics there!!

I can't see the image you added with the "Whats a Star Wars Figure" comment, as i'm at work, i'll look later. I'm expecting something rude with fat ladies. ## Back from work; it was just your sig box Todd, sorry about that, well you have developed a reputation :lol:

Josh, I think we all dislike Anakin and Imp Dig, but i remembered both of them. It was 2 other randoms which stumped me!

Nice idea Jez. That's taken 10 minutes out of the work day! I managed 78 and I think I need to get out more.

*gasp!* How could you put the mighty Bib Fortuna in with that group?! Arguably one of the best designed figures in the vintage range. Easily! Not the most exciting MOC i grant you but as a figure, near perfect!

Well, I thought I had a strategy, First 12, next, First ESB 10 lsat 17 etc...which seemed to work well until I got to the Jedi where I missed out

Rancor Keeper
8D8
Ree Yees
Han Carbonite....really ashamed with that one!!

I started off with; all the Lukes, All the Hans and Leias, then the first 12 in exactly the same format as you mate.

8D8 was my 3rd from last (Thats 2 of us) Joe is gonna freak!
I couldn't get CCP & Ugnaught, i'm not going to lose sleep over those 2.

Before I reveal my results I would like to firstly state it is 4am in the morning, I should be working not trying to remember 96 ****ing names so subliminally my brain is punishing me for slacking off and depriving it of sleep at the same time.

I missed 8,

FX-7 - forgivable

Dengar - well it is Dengar

Squidhead - pretty disappointed with that one

Ackbar - this one too

Anakin - say no more

Warok - I new he was there I couldn't remember his bloody name

Pruneface - even his fellow troops would've forgotten about him

Yoda - yes Yoda, I ****ing forgot the little green bastard. No excuse!

Yoda?

Ryan How you could the forget the "Geeteast Jedi Master in the Galaxy??? :shock:

As I'm a decorator, I blame the paint fumes for forgetting - squid head, rancor keeper, nien numb and ree yees. Hmm not too bad! Good game, good game.

I don't know Liam.... but my brain must be fried as I'm working on a caricature for a customer which I so far have 12 hours invested in and photoshop has just crashed on me. Suffice to say for some unknown reason I failed to save my progress and I've just lost 12 hours worth of work.

I'm absolutely distraught at the moment, I can't believe I am so ****in stupid!! This job is due in 10 hours and I'm currently sitting here lie a stunned mullet!

****in Hell Ryan! What a shitter!

Good luck mate

Ah crap...that's made me realise I'd missed out CCP too!!!

I ran out of time and forgot:

A-wing pilot
Ev-9d9
8d8
Rancour keeper
Han trench
Nein numb
Squid head
Boushh
Tie pilot
Leia bespin
Luke bespin
R5-d4
Bespin guard white
Bespin guard black

Cripes! I should take up tennis instead. Great game though. Missed some obvious ones though. I had a brain freeze on r5-d4 on the first 21 that set off a panic attack that I never recovered from. Ev-9d9, Luke bespin, leia bespin, Han trench......I freakin disgusted with myself.

:lol: Thanks Grant seeing your list I all of a sudden don't feel so bad about my own, although it may take me a while to regain some cred for missing Yoda!

I know what you mean about the brain freeze and ensuing panic attack, it's funny once the panic sets in how hard it is to think clearly.

Wonder if anyone would admit missing their focus :lol:
