My vintage collection

[disgruntledjawa]

My vintage collection. When I was a kid and my Dad would get figures for me and if they had a double on the peg he'd get one for himself. These were boxes up for years in the attic. These are some of the figures that he left me.

Plus he gets my collection

That’s a nice sentiment to have.

My dad did the same except, I never had the discipline to not open them. I chewed off both the ends of a vader and luke. Sorry dad!

Looks like a telescopic saber ... not a DT.

Beek-What are you collecting now days? You always had one of the greatest set ups. Any photos of your current set up?

Lovely bits and I'm sure we all wish our fathers had done the same.

Did people have an inkling in the 70s and 80s that these figures would be highly collectible today?

Kenner reissued the dewback and the landspeeder and others as "collectible reissues" or something like that, so they had an idea way back then that people were collecting these toys.
