Niiiiiiice!<br /><br />Yeah, it's cool to hang on to the old stuff, but sometimes ya just gotta let 'em go too. I wish I would have saved more toys - especially all of those MEGO superheroes and Planet of the Apes figs - miss those guys!

As a kid I had tons of SW-figs (well about fifty), but I never got any ships or walkers :( Later, when I got 18-years old or so... I gave all of them to my cousin who was just ten years old... And he shot them all with a BB-gun!!!!!!!!!! I have never recovered from that. I just think how cool it would have been if I saved them for my kids... I still have nightmares!!!Alexander Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02707547269653167835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564695407408502795.post-38501864849850073262010-12-27T14:00:35.150-05:002010-12-27T14:00:35.150-05:00Dang! biopunk, you and JB were some lucky little d...Dang! biopunk, you and JB were some lucky little dudes! Honestly, I never wanted for anything, really, as a kid... don't get me wrong... lived a charmed life, I will admit, thanks to my folks... but I sure never had an AT-AT.<br /><br />In fact I never had a TON of SW figs as a kid. Me and my buds would always combine our collections, so we often had a full cast, and I had some faves for sure: Hammerhead (LO, no really), Chewie, a Sand*person*, and a Stormtrooper were prob some of my faves back then.<br /><br />I still get the old ones (that I still have - not many left, sadly) out so my kiddos can play with them, too. It's kinda cool to mix in the old 4-pt articulation guys with these new ultra-detailed scuplts.<br /><br />My boy had his Darth Maul fig takinging on Hammerhead, Greedo, Walrus Man, and (short/red uniformed) Snaggletooth. Guess who won. ;^]<br /><br />Anyway, yeah, *we'll* have lots of fun with my boy's new additions. LOL Thanks, biopunk!yoyorobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375340160423546919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564695407408502795.post-91629467001848963512010-12-27T01:46:12.712-05:002010-12-27T01:46:12.712-05:00I'm like JB, never had the TIE fighter, had th...I'm like JB, never had the TIE fighter, had the AT-AT.<br /><br />But the Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder pilot version) was one of my favorite action figures.<br /><br />I'm sure you...

Always preferred B/X halflings... and I know you do too.<br /><br />Merry Christmas, bro!yoyorobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375340160423546919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564695407408502795.post-86831763893744410252010-12-26T16:09:23.398-05:002010-12-26T16:09:23.398-05:00I always wanted a tie fighter as a kid.
