I'm trying to complete the Empire Strikes Back series, but not much else. <br />I have a few of the BK glasses if anyone is in the market. I sold two rounds of the action figures several years ago on eBay (mine and a friend's collections). Still have the Cloud Car somewhere....GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-82921386922237180102015-05-04T23:01:58.070-07:002015-05-04T23:01:58.070-07:00I love the Star Wars movies, being in the same age...I love the Star Wars movies, being in the same age group as you I had the cards, comic books and action figures on my list for every holiday. When Phantom Menace came around in 1999 I was working as a retail manager so I got to see all the re-releases and new figures come though the shelves but at that point I didn't want to dive back in and start collecting action figures again, now I stick with only collecting the card releases.Corkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344136023470368021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-44713197893660313432015-05-04T19:35:30.148-07:002015-05-04T19:35:30.148-07:00Yes i collect the 1977 topps Star Wars cards.

I just need to finish the Series 3 card set and i have some 1970s Star Wars (Marvel) comics.<br /><br />As a kid during the early 1980s we had many Star Wars action figures and ships/playsets. My older brother and the neighbors also had many Star Wars figures. Sadly we played to hard with the figures many with broken heads and the guns was so easy to lose. We had some figures in a cardboard box outside and they got chewed up by a dog and a lawnmower also ran over some. I remember i got a Ewok Village and X-wing Fighter for Christmas in the early 1980s and i bought a (Bespin) Han Solo at Rose's Department store. We had a bunch of the Star Wars <br />toys but we played with them and all the toys are long goneBarrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-48967253219122830752015-05-04T19:15:18.848-07:002015-05-04T19:15:18.848-07:00I think I'm about as young as someone can be w...I think I'm about as young as someone can be while viewing Star Wars solely as a really fun trilogy of Science Fiction movies. I enjoyed the heck out of the original trilogy, saw each one in theaters during the original release (so I know for a fact that Han shot first - Justice For Greedo!), but I was a shade too old for action figures and never got into Star Wars in terms of collectibles.<br /><br />That being said, the coolest Star Wars item I have is an original copy of "Splinter Of The Mind's Eye", the first Star Wars book that went beyond the movies.<br /><br />May da Schwartz be wit' you!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-2980854427715733952015-05-04T15:36:17.368-07:002015-05-04T15:36:17.368-07:00Those 1977 Star Wars cards are why I started colle...Those 1977 Star Wars cards are why I started collecting cards. I think the progression was Star Wars>Grease>Kiss>1978 baseball cards! ;-P I had the Star Wars comic books, puzzles, posters, several little figures, Han Solo, the Sand person, C-3PO I think, an X Fighter and hundreds of Star Wars cards. I saw the movie the first time at the Serramonte Theater, which is now a BevMo. Utterly life changing as an 8 year old :-D Never got into the other films much.Rob's Cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422667833369184815noreply@blogger.com
