 Re: Childhood Collection. Updated with Star Wars!!!
if i where i would get some of those AFA graded those look in some top notch condition and once there graded they can go for a lot of money especially since you have all weapons and sticker in check

 Re: Childhood Collection. Updated with Star Wars!!!
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!

 Re: Childhood Collection. Updated with Star Wars!!!
Yeah. My parents are great. 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?

 Re: Childhood Collection. Updated with Star Wars!!!
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? melek_taus wrote: Question: Can anyone tell me if the Greedo figure should have some kind of coat or armor?

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.

 Re: Childhood Collection. Updated with Star Wars!!!
Thanx Joe. I really hope the big bastard works. Might have to attempt a repair if he doesn't.

 Re: Childhood Collection. Updated with Star Wars!!!
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.

 Re: Childhood Collection. Updated with Star Wars!!!
This makes me sad. I never had all these awesome toys as a kid.
