Star Wars and cigars

[Son of Cigarsmoke]

I was yes, when kenner went bust, the bagged up the last 17 figures in kenner "baggies". Just 5 figures in a plastic bag. We had a flood at the old shop one year, the boxes of baggies got soaked. I ended up with about 10 amanamans and a couple of dozen yak faces. I think the yaks go for 80 a piece now, used to be 120 a piece years ago at the fairs

Its crazy what I have and used to have stashed away. I even have a prototype transformer , a little train that literally folds in half and its arms pop out. Again can't put a price on it as only 50 are in existence

Can i have your address please so i can visit your house ...at midnight ...wearing a mask ...with a van parked outside

Revenge posters are very rare mate, damn shame you still don't have them. Originally the entire series was going to be called A tale of 2 droids, but it sounded shit and lucas came up with star wars. I'm looking forward to the live action tv series, hopefully based on the bounty hunters. I've read the majority of the books, lucas said he may go to the books for a final set of 3 films, but he confirmed the Skywalker story is over, any part they play in the films will be as background characters.

You don't know the half of it, though I suppose that might be a congenital condition.

The Revenge of the Nerds!

However, when I was a kid, some friends and I were able to steal some early Jedi movie posters that said Revenge of the Jedi--if only I still had those. Be worth a fortune.

I have to say, Episodes IV to VI are cool, but those digital monstrosities that covered one to three made me straight up sad. My favorite has to be Empire. The problem with Jedi is the Ewoks. What happened?

Doll Collector, Not!

Star wars is awsome no matter what age you are Mr CORO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hear that, senor dude.

Don TJ saw it the first week it was released in the Estados Unidos...long before it became a cult classic. We used to sit around the camp fire and listen to ol' TJ spin SW tales. Quite entertaining, actually. But I was never inclined to go for the collectibles. Not a dignified endeavor, IMHO.

But what the hell do I know, damn it! I'm just a stupid looking dawg smiley with no pot to piss in.





I wish I had me some SW memorabilia, el Perro!


(Hurumph!) I'm sure you do, virgin boy....I'm sure you do.

Lol great post Son of, I was very lucky as a kid, my Grandad and Dad originally owned a chain of Toy shops. We got every figure inc some that kenner gave out to store owners only. We had the unpainted rocket firing Boba fett , they made 95 i think as samples, but the rocket proved a choking hazard so never went into production (saw one go in an auction for over $5000). I still have the entire collection, including the rare creature cantina (canadian only version) the cardboard death star , plus multiples of the last 17 (the rarest of the series as kenner went bust 6 months after making them) I also have the vinyl caped jawa, blue snaggletooth etc etc. Pretty much every ship, all still boxed, and wrapped in cardboard in the attic.

Prototype Boba Fette and Vinyl caped Jawa?! Thouse are like the holy grails of Starwars action figures! You realy were one lucky kid! lol

Star Wars & cigars? I thought this thread would be all about Chewbacca.

[r0lan6]

Could have been worse! Remember the movie '40-year-old virgin'?

[TJCoro]

And he said...The Nerds Shall Inheriet Thy Forum!

How can a thread go so terribly wrong?

Right on, My Man, CornCob.

This is the funniest thread I've seen around these parts in quite some time.

Well done, NERDS!!!







Hey el Perro! Looks a bit like BJ, BJCoro ....... - See what I'm sayin'?
