This is one of my favorite collection videos on all of KZread since you share some cool stories behind how you got the toys. I also think price stickers on vintage figs adds a lot of character and it's crazy to see they originally sold for $2.99!

Awesome collection! Identify with a lot of your nostalgic connections and owned and wore out my own collection as a kid. I still have my Vader case full of beat up figures, it’s the one thing I’ve taken with me every step of my life journey and it’s almost a fluke because I recall selling a lot of my toys at a family garage sale and I sold everything but my Star Wars toys. I had the whole lot priced at 20 bucks in a laundry bin and nobody wanted them. And now it’s so cool to still have them to preface my ridiculous collection of modern figures.

Great stories. This bring back memories of the pre-Ebay collecting era. Most online dealers in the late 90s didn't have pictures of their merchandise yet. Scanners, and digital cameras weren't the everyday household tech. So the figures were only described by text in a few words of their condition. I was buying sight unseen, and some of the horrors I received in the mailbox still haunts my collection! I also remember carded back in the late 90s was still pretty expensive; 200-400 for many, and even more for the 77s and 85s. Sound like the early 90s was the time to do it. Amazing room btw!

Such waves of nostalgia. Had many as a kid. For the figures i cut out the name tags and the cool pictures and threw the rest away. What i still don´t understand is why they did not make lots of stormtroopers because they were so hard to get while you want at least a squad. Later we had all the rebels disguised as stormtroopers which we mostly used as actual stormtroopers.
