Please post pictures of your collection

Has anybody seen this poster?

 

That’s one of my biggest wants: the mail away Original Anakin. This is last 17 (or 19 or whatever it was), I guess. I don’t remember them selling Anakin on the shelves in the US. Is that a Canadian, French, or European item? All the mail-in versions I saw for US versions didnt come with a full card.

Is the custom or just an early verion where they used a painting rather than the picture of the character on set?

Looks like a beloved piece. Glad you have still got it, and in such fine shape.
Thanks

What????? No laserdisc?????? Slacker!!! I kid

Very cool. I haven’t seen those betamax’s and early VHSs in years.

 

Thanks! I believe this one was on European shelves, and I too don't remember seeing Anakin on U.S. shelves in the 80's. I managed to pick this one up at a toy show in the early 90's before the Prequel Trilogy was announced. I never knew anyone who had an Anakin as a kid in the 1980's, so I'm curious how kids played with this toy back then. It must have been a lot of fun inventing ways to play with Anakin knowing so little of his backstory at that point.

 

We weren't rich enough to have Laserdisc

The old Betamax served us well throughout the 80's and I still have the machine, I always did prefer it to VHS.



I recently managed to pick up another copy of ROTJ as mine wore out decades ago.

 

I need to update it but this is my last droid inventory

 

That’s committing to the bit!!

My dad is a miser but always wants to have top of the line electronics. He got a Betamax like the week they were released. The picture quality on those is better than VHS from the same era.

We never had a Laserdisc, but they seemed clunky and ridiculous.

I am very impressed you’ve kept that thing working all this time.

I wonder what that is worth. Didn’t that figure come WEARING the cloak? And he came with a solid green saber that was in a separate slot in the blister section.

Plus, that is a shot of Han from ANH but that background is confusing the heck out of me.

I guess that was the 78 packaging for Han with a new logo and nothing else changed.

Have you ever gotten that appraised? That’s super rare.

 

I couldn't resist buying this the other day, a nice addition to my film collection.

 

Yes, it’s very puzzling to me. I don’t know much about the European versions of the figures, and I don’t know how rare this is. I’ve never gotten it appraised, as I don’t know where to go to get something like this appraised. If anyone has any suggestions about someone who could appraise it, I’d definitely welcome the input!

 

Cool. I didn't know that it was released a widescreen version of the SE from 1997, it looks cool in silver. I still have mine with the golden box.

 

Yes the Silver SE Widescreen came out at the same time as the Gold version and I'm sure it was around £10 more expensive. As a student at the time I opted for the cheaper Gold version.

 

I mentioned how I bought some Nike trainers (sneakers?) in a reply to a status post by @Grand Master Galen Marek about official Adidas ones the other day...
These were not intended to be official Star Wars gear as far as I know, but I saw these on sale (perhaps they were a return of a custom design?) and as a big R2-D2 fan I was like... Yes, I think I'll get those ...




(shoutout to @Maximus @Anubis78 if you're interested!)

 

Damn that is awesome!!!

 

I'm paying off my Darth Maul next week and I'm reserving Qui-Gonn. God I hate Hot Toys/Sideshow. LMAO

 

Woah! I want these xD ! Earlier this year I came across this site:

https://solecollector.com/news/2019/05/nike-id-star-wars-designs/

 

That Stormtrooper ones are my favorite, but they are all quite nice.

 

I had this... I must have threw it out with my VCR. If I owned a home I would have kept it. My neighborhood comic book shop has a TV and VCR hooked up. It was so cool watching the original version of TESB while shopping for my weekly books (weekly Star Wars comic books that is).

 

A few Black Series still in boxes and some die-cast metal figures.

May not be worth anything to someone else, but I had fun going after them and socializing with other Star Wars fans.

 

No. I don't believe those sold very well. I think they were originally around $39. I got those online from the Disney store during a clearance sale a while back. I returned later to get Baze and Chirrut from Rogue One, but they were gone. I need more Rogue One in my collection.

 

Episode I toothbrushes!
