Who still has their Star Wars stuff from the 70s and 80s?

[BoidKeeper]

I've been eyeing ebay for the Empire Strikes Back edition of the Millenium Falcon in the box. I found a few too. That is the one I had when I was a kid. I just saw the picture of me opeing it Christmas morning not too long ago and that got me interested in getting one again. I'm afraid though if I start collecting this stuff I won't stop!lol
So if you have anything left I'd love to see some pics.
Cheers,
Trevor

I've got alot of odds an ends from the star wars collection, just some pieces from the ships etc. Tons of GI Joe stuff though. A whole box of figures alone.

Other thing I have lots of is the old AFX and Tyco slot cars. ;)

It really is cool going to the toy and collectable show. Kinda burns me to see how much things that I destroyed are worth now...:rolleyes:

[BoidKeeper]

I hear ya! I wish I had all my Transformers back!
Cheers,

Here's something that'll make ya cry.

About 10 years ago mom sold all my star wars stuff at a garage sale... for about $20.

Considering that star wars was a passion of mine since I was 3 it was quite the collection... All heavily used of course, so it's not like someone got an in the box quality well... anything. But I had it all man. Millenium Falcon, couple of X wings, Tie fighters. Hell I even had the Rancor monster. I THINK I still have a box of figures stashed away at my parent's place somewhere too but i'd have to go digging for it :)

I bought a ton of star wars lego a couple of years ago too. heh.

[Jeff_Favelle]

Crannie would for sure. My plan is to raid it, sell it, and buy a Mojave!!! ;)

I've got the three original movies at home and that's about it.

Vintage star wars toys aren't worth much unless you kept the original boxes. Wide spread collecting started to become pretty big in the late 80s so all the gen X and gen Y people who were alive for the original movies probably stashed their toys away just in case. I still have all of mine locked away in that stupid Darth Vader action figure holder lol. Everytime my mother took me downtown she had to buy me a figure.

The only thing I can imagine being worth anything is an unopened Darth Vader or maybe Luke Skywalker from the first movie.

I bet a lot of people here still have their Transformers, Hemans, GI Joes, My Little Ponys, Stawberry Shortcake ... I recall my little female friend across the street having some kind of mermaid toys and you could brush their hair. Any 30ish ladies know what these were?

When I was little I was obsessed with turtles. Hence I have a huge tupperware container with a huge variety of the original teenage mutant ninja turtles. My GI Joes didnt seem to hold up to the Play-doe wars unfortunately though.

Me and the gf just signed the papers today for our first home. I know the first thing on my Mom's mind is she can finally get rid of the closet full of Stars Wars stuff that she's been trying to get me to take since I moved out 11 years ago! :)

Spidergecko, you forgot to mention He-Man!

[CDN-Cresties]

I use to have the ewok village, a few ewoks and luke. I still have all my gi joes include gi joe headquarters. What about those rubber WWF figures, I have hundreds of those.

D'oh time to go see the eye doc:)

[Gary D.]

I'm not saying much on this thread, for the sake of rambling on for uncrotnollably, giggling to myself like a child. But yeah, I've got mountains of the stuff burried in my folks basement that I need to move some time. My collection was just a couple of pieces short of all the action figures and accessories, and of course tons of other stuff.

[JAdkins2451]

I used to have a whole wack of He-man toys. I probley had almost all of them.. Then one day my mom decided to take the box they were in to Goodwill.. Boy was I fuming. Im Kind of a pack rat I like to keep alot of stuff..

[darkscale]

its' funny a freind at work just gave me a huge rubermaid full of he-man stuff including castle gray skull and snake mountain

[BoidKeeper]

What no pics! Come one guys someone must have a pic of something to wet my appatite! Gary man go pick that stuff up!
I didn't know until I started looking on Ebay that there was more than one edition of the Falcon.
Cheers,

Actrually there are usually 3 to 5 editions, but these are simply packaging variations for the most part. The exception is the early 90's when they were just starting the second Power of the Force series of figures. Then they reissued a number of the vehicles in different colour plastic and pre-painted instead of stickers.

[clint545]

urgh! The 90's series of figures look so cheesy! Trevor, next time I'm at my parents place, I'll take a pic of my bro's room for ya. He's a collector, has some interesting stuff!!

I wish I did! :( Not many action figures survived my teenage years; pellet guns, fire crackers, matches and etc. But I had a TON of stuff from Star Wars, GI Joe, WWF Wrestlers, Thundercats, Video games (Intellivision, NTS, Genesis, TurboGraphics 16), Hockey Cards and etc. I didn't feel spoiled at the time but I guess I was! :D

Being a kid in the 80's was fun! :)

[Jeff_Favelle]

LOL, yeah, we all were.

What about M.U.S.C.L.E.?

Hahaha, I have a bunch of those guys kicking around too...

While we're dropping names remember garbage pail kids?

[clint545]

LOL Disect Ed was my fav!

[Paleosuchus]

Garbage pail kids are great. Did not realize they still make them, can pick them up at any gas station really. New ones are just as gross.

[Tim_Cranwill]

Yeah, I had a bucket full of M.U.S.C.L.E.s and Guts! :D

[Jeff_Favelle]

And the ghetto form of Transformers? AKA "Go-Bots"?

[BoidKeeper]

Ah yes Go-bots. Turbo, is the only one I can remember. What was the black race car and the helicopter the jet plane and the scotter called? I think the scotter was called Scotter wasn't it?
Cheers,
Trevor

none of the "cool kids" had go-bots!:D

[clint545]

Anyone ever heard of the band Shockwave? They're a hardcore and they sample Transformers in all their songs. Pretty cool!

[Manitoban Herps]

I'm bro has lots of actoin figures, and all of the movies, but that the newer junk. He's got 7'Elevn cups with each character on it, i guess 7-eleven was making the cups when the first episode came out.
