Vintage.....Star Wars.
 My mom found these cleaning out her attic and sent them to me. Brings back some good memories. Merry Christmas! -Austin Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk |

That is so cool!
I remember buying something similar from an original owner about 15 years ago (catch and release).. I still have some red cards, etc... Junk now (the modern stuff).. Congrats! |

Cool! I've been a fan since the first movie! Never had any of the toys for some reason...
Nice collection! A friend of mine has a room full. He planned to put the kids through college... I don't think that panned out so well. |

Awesome! Memories of a time when things were simpler, less complicated (no pun intended) and the world was your oyster (again, no pun intended). With today being Christmas and a New Year upon us, let us remember the good times and let love be our life's work. When you love what you do and work for those you love, things just fall into place. May God bless everyone on this website. Enjoy the memories. When you feel down, summon the good feelings of your youth and use them for a greater good.

This is awesome!
I used to collected them back in the early 80s.... Yours seem to be in excellent condition. In the mid 90s, Kenner released a new wave of action figures on steroids. All of them including "Princess Leiya" had quite an excess of muscles. Tell your 'Greedo' to put some pants on, that green butt is something

A few months ago I went to my parents house and brought back some 80's Star Wars figures and ships for my son to play with. My son loves them, specially the Millenium Falcon. These vintage tools have some patina which is cool.

Congratulations! That's awesome. It looks like Greedo is camera shy. I wish my parents still had my old collection. Then again if they did I'd probably be fighting with my six year old over whose turn it is to fly the X-wing and why I never get to be Boba Fett. Probably worked out in the long run.
On second thought I wish they kept them. |

Very cool. I sold a bunch of my old GI Joe and Transformer toys a few years ago. It is amazing what people will pay for that stuff. Of course, I'm sure they look at us and say the same thing.

Very cool stuff. My daughter is now 7 and old enough to trust with some of mine, so about a month ago brought some of it down from the attic and cleaned them up:
      Last but not least...a split pic of Christmas Morning 1982 and December 2016:

A recent pic of some of my old haul. They survived my childhood very well, but did not do as well during my niece and nephews. These are amongst the refugees I rescued from their destructive clutches.
The X-Wine, Tie Fighter, snowspeeder, and Millenium Falcon I have were once fairly pristine but now are missing most of their parts. |

My mom dug out and gave my son my 80s Legos sets most still had the instructions. Including the same space set as above. Not ready to give him Star Wars figures yet....maybe I should go to my folks house and dig them out.

I just bought a lightly used Galaxy Explorer Lego set (circa 1976) on Ebay for $200.
It's a classic, one of my most treasured possessions as a kid. |

Vintage.....Star Wars.
About two yeArs ago I sold all my old original Kenner ships on eBay. I had an xwing, ATAT, Ewok village, and millenium falcon. They all got around $200 a piece. I still have an ATST and all my action figures.
If it's not obvious from my signon, I'm a big fan. |
