I only have three carded figures. The rest are loose. Some are literally loose in terms of limbs. Others are in pretty decent condition. I actually have a perfect condition vinyl cape on an ESB era Vader. I used to have the vinyl caped Jawa (a couple of them). However the capes all tore off and all that's left are capeless Jawas. They look rather pitiful, to be honest. I have one or two with the cloth capes.

I had an opportunity to buy all the POTF 1985 release figures at a Children's Palace toy store in 1988 when it was closing down. They had a bunch of them. Never got around to it.

The weird thing is, one of my repeated dreams is of visiting this toy store I've never been in at all in my life and seeing all these original carded SW figures on the pins right next to the new ones and just buying a ton of them. All regular price as well. I couldn't tell you how many times I've had this dream. Everything about it is the same each time, too. Exterior of the store, location of the toys in the store. Pretty sad, yes. Repressed feelings of guilt for not buying when I could have, I suppose.
