We all can admit that we still have our little plastic pieces of memorabilia. We all still have the old Kenner toys, and plastic sticker decal falcons.


Who after all these years, still has there star wars toys boxed up, displayed, or sealed?

I still have my Millennium Falcon with the missing landing gear and windshield, with my Darth Vader who lost his saber back in the day. I have the old Gantry Luke playset. I even have Garindan the Kubaz sitting on my bookshelf.

What pieces of Star Wars history do you have? be it:

Toys

Games

Cereal Boxes

Costumes

Etc.

And to keep it in the off topic section, Other films from back in the day

I still have a Jurassic Park hand held game

A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

I still have all of my vintage Star Wars stuff (toys, board games, 2600 game, books), no matter the condition.  I have one Yoda on card, but I didn't grow up with it.  In fact, I don't know where it came from, because if I remember not having it, wouldn't I remember getting it?  Must have been a yard sale....

I wish I still had my Real Ghostbusters toys (which I sold online for a pretty penny) and my TMNT toys (which I sold to a consignment shop like a dummy).

EDIT: I forgot in my Star Wars boxes I also have an Indiana Jones, Toht, and Cario Swordsman figure.  I wish I still had my Well of Souls playset.  Not sure why I don't have that but have all the rest of the figures.

I had a Han Solo action figure that I absolutely loved as a kid. I accidentally left it at a friends house, and I never saw it again.

I also still have all of my Ocarina Of Time action figures and every issue of Nintendo power from 1996-2000.

I have lots of Kenner figures, vehicles and playsets.  Most of them I had as a kid, but I picked some up in the r.a.s.s.c. newsgroup back in the day.  It was ebay before ebay!  And I have an eye out at rummage sales and the lot.

I used to think I was saving them for my kids.  I have kids... they're not getting anywhere close to my toys!

It's mostly in boxes in my basement.  I have a few vintage Transformers, Mask, Voltron, toys down there as well... but it's mostly Star Wars.

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

I've got TONS of the Kenner figures from the 80s in a box in my mum's garage.

Currently I have the three Starkller figures from TFU and a Grand Admiral Thrawn on my bookshelf, as well as a broken AT-AT walker on my desk (I keep memo paper in it).

Nope i don't since they were stolen when i moved to where i currently live when i was around 10 years old.

Stolen along with all my masters of the universe, GI Joe, Transformers g1 stuff.

Not that i care they would be yellowing pieces of junk collecting dust and space.

I don't collect children's figures either, or go to conventions dressed up as a stormtrooper either.

If i did if would be suggested to go see a therapist because at 32 years of age it would be absolutely ridiculous.

It does help to point out i don't have any children.  A lot of adults have toys in their house for their kids to play with, and get enjoyment and nostalgia out of seeing them do so.

The only thing i really want at this point is restored theatrical oot star wars trilogy on dvd, you know the real thing, the films. But Lucas won't let me have that.  He took all the fun out of being a fan.  Once star wars was destroyed i stopped collecting stuff.  The real star wars died sometime in the late 90's.

Well, among other Star Wars collectibles, I've got about a decade's worth of Star Wars Insider (probably from 1994-2004 or 2005, I'd guess). That magazine really took a nosedive when they switched publishers. It actually used to be worth reading.

Mostly for Anthony Daniels's "Wonder Column". :P

Star Wars came out when I was 15 years old, so I was past toys.  I did, however, have every one-sheet from the first three films. I was an avid convention-goer and collector of one-sheets, two-sheets, three-sheets, lobby cards, inserts, etc.

That said, as I mentioned in this thread a while back;

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Your-vinyl-record-collections/post/389704/#TopicPost389704

I lost nearly everything I owned 15 years ago.  All those one-sheets, two-sheets, lobby cards, etc - all gone except one.  The teaser for Star Wars. It's the B style

 

It was sealed in a tube.  I also have a Star Wars lunch box that I bought after the flood.  Those two things are the extent of my Star Wars collectibles. The only other thing that would interest me these day is an original printing of the Star Wars novel by George Lucas Alan Dean Foster.

I have the Taco Bell Episode I 4-poster set, laminated together; some air bubbles were unfortunately made in the process. I also have a few toys scattered here and there from the Special Edition release promos (ie, the ESB one with the mirror and Yoda on one side Vader the other). So you could say my collection sucks, as it's all prequel-oriented / special edition stuff. Oh well. I blame my young age - and besides, I never was into toys; I was more into video games.

No offense, but that does suck.

I have a handful of toys in storage.  The only things I have out are a 12 inch scale R5-D4 and a smaller one next to it.  I've got them next to my SW DVD's.

The last Star Wars toy I bought and still have is this

They are twice as expensive now, and mine was a little mean to me. It would constantly shake it's head no. I had it on while listening to the soundtracks, and it started playing the imperial march. It was fun, but the novelty wore off, and it now sits and collects dust.

I did manage to pick up this limited edition version of the TPM novel for a steal several years ago:

Here's the inside page:

I've tried to sell it on eBay, but I can't find a price estimate.

Oh, that's right - I have one of those too, Eyeshotfirst. Haha, how could I forget R2?

Does it ignore you? Mine does.

I've always been very jealous of those.  Glad to hear that they're just annoying dust collectors.  ;)

Like those old flash light sabers, those R2s lose their fun when your the only one in the neighborhood who likes Star Wars.

That's fairly random, Sluggo.  Wait, are you a big fan of that R5-D4 story from Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina or something?

I know you've still got them!!!!

Of course I still have them. They're viral in nature, so the best I can do is suppress them. Duh!

Apparently I still have my Episode 1 ticket stub. I don't know how. Ah, the days when movie tickets weren't $12 a pop... $5 even at the fancy tehaters.

Yes. I do still have them, I am afraid. I wish I didn't, because it means I have boxes of stuff to dig through and figure out a way to get rid of. At this point in life, the only things I really care about keeping are my old 70's and 80's vintage figures, my ships are in too rough of shape to even matter, and the little bit of 90's stuff I do own I could care less about.

I may still have all 5 of mine.  I did keep them around for the longest time.

Five? you ask.  It was the first new Star Wars movie I ever saw in theaters.  I had to absorb it.

Better than Episode 2 that I watched twice in a row.

I never saw episode II in theaters. I am now very proud of this fact.

I have a few ticket stubs in my wallet. I used to try to collect them, but they would get lost.

It is the only one I didn't get to see in theaters. Not counting the original original trilogy.
