Man you're really lucky that your folks held onto so much of that stuff. I'd love to be able to crack open an old box of toys - so many great memories!

Yeah. My parents are great. :D
I couldn't thank them enough for saving all of this stuff for me. My mom said she had a feeling it would be worth something some day. But I can't see sending anything to AFA for grading. Too many accessories and all the packaging is missing... Plus, I have a LARGE problem with parting with any of my toys. Can't sell anything.

Question: Can anyone tell me if the Greedo figure should have some kind of coat or armor? I seem to remember that he did, but it's missing if so. Same for the Hammerhead character. Thought he had a jacket similar to Yoda's?

Great collection melek, how you managed to keep the accessories etc from childhood is great. all my old SW figures are very beat up. I have since bought some of my favorites in great shape. really a nice trip down nostalgia road. Can we see the AT-AT from the pic of its feet?

no, those figures had no other accessories besides the weapons. I think the orange on greedo represents his vest from the movie. those are 2 of my favorites, espesially the hammerhead figure I never had as a kid, and always thought he was less of a humanoid. the scene in mos eisely cantina where he debuts leads me to believe he was a larger guy supported by a chair. Ill have to look that one up now in the creature catalog I have.

Thanx Tavaro.
I remember Hammerhead being quite large as well. Seems like the figure isn't to scale.

Here are the pics of the AT-AT that I finally got clean. What a pain getting old dust and dirt out of all those tiny crevices! I am gonna go to the store for some D batteries to see if he still works. :twisted:

Thanx Joe.

I really hope the big bastard works. Might have to attempt a repair if he doesn't. :?

The Star Wars toys are great! I kind of get bummed out when seeing them because i used to have a huge collection as a kid, then our house was robbed and they took all of it :( I stopped collecting after that. I used to really like the die cast vehicles. Cool collection, Melek.
