I had all the figures. doubles for characters like the sand people and the Imperial guard and dozens of imperial troops.
I had the X-Wing and all the die-casts, I had the large Luke figure. I used to set them up in scenes like Jabba's Palace or the Death Star docking bay.
You can probably tell by the past tense here that it didn't end well.
My mum gave them to my toy killer cousins.
Take your revenge and tell her how much some of these are worth nowadays.

Is one or both of them named Sid? ;)
Seriously though, I always thought toy destroying kids have issues I can't even fathom.
A huge part of the problem are probably parenting issues. I never destroyed my toys because I was made aware that a) these things cost money and that doesn't grow on trees; b) I'm not getting another one if I destroy a toy; c) if I got something cool (and basically a toy = something cool) it didn't even cross my mind to break it. A good parent will teach you to behave, be appreciative of what you have and to be responsible for your stuff (not to mention actions). A shitty (or just inexperienced and/or utterly clueless) parent will indulge a kid's every whim without even considering the consequences.
