Let there be light.......sabers.

Here is my collection of "belt hangers". From top to bottom is Luke ROTJ, Darth Vader ESB and Luke Star Wars.

B-WING FIGHTER

Here is a B-Wing fighter from the Return Of The Jedi line. It's in great shape with everything but the electronics working. Also you may notice it has no stickers. After I purchased it every sticker fell of with the slightest touch (which I saved). I have a nice set of repros I'm going to put on and fix the electronics to bring her to her former glory.

RADIO CONTROLLED R2D2

This is a great example of one of my all time favorite toys ever. I remember getting this for xmas when I was like 6 and freaking out! This little R2 unit is mint and in perfect working order with all the packaging.

SHUTTLE TYDIRIUM

This vehicle is just amazing. Huge in size and close to scale. It Has a cockpit where you can have two piliots flying, a removable hatch for figure storage and a "lazer" sound when you push a button on the button. This is complete and close to mint.

THE BAND...

Jabba's personal band is made up of Max Rebo, Droopy McCool and Sy Snoodles. This figure set is great and is very well sculpted, especially for the time.

TWIN POD CLOUD CAR

Although only having a few brief moments on film, this vehicle always stuck with me. Maybe because of it's unique design or the fact that it's in the end portion of The Empire Strikes Back.

TOPS EMPIRE STRIKES BACK TRADING CARDS SERIES 3 AND PUFFY STICKERS

As everyone knows, in the 80's these we're just as important to collect as the toys themselves. Here is a complete set of 32 waxpacks and box from series 3 and a N.O.S. pack of puffy stickers

YODA HAND PUPPET

I remember getting this for Christmas as well in 1980. As you can see from the picture, this was indeed played with as a child.

Y-WING FIGHTER

Originally appearing in Star Wars, the Y-Wing didn't appear until the ROTJ 1983 toy line. The detail is incredible with a slot for an atsromech, a battery powered lazer cannon, and a bomb that drops with the press of a button. This is complete and in perfect working order.

SLAVE I

This is one of the most unique ships for one of the most unique characters. This is complete with the Han in Carbonite.

Dagobah Action Playset

This was a lot of fun when it came out and quite a versatile playset. You had Yoda's little hut, the swamp that R2 gets eaten then spit out. Relive Luke's training scene by levitating cargo boxes or R2. Finally you could use the swing levers to make Darth Vader and Luke have a lightsaber fight.

Hoth turret and Probot playset

Out of the four Hoth playlets, this is the only one I've ever liked or owned. Flip the switch and the Probot "blows up'.

X-Wing Fighter With Battle Damage

Originally released as part of the Empire Strikes Back collection, this X-wing was accompanied by it's counterpart the battle damaged TIE Fighter (see earlier posts). The sticker set gave you the option of applying battle damage or not. This is complete and fully operational with half of the damage stickers applied.

Rebel Armored Snow Speeder

I'm truly sorry if you didn't have this little gem growing up. I loved everything about this! The lights, the sounds, the toe hook and cable, the landing gear...This one is fully complete, in perfect working order with box and instructions.

Impending doom.

All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT)

This was defiantly one of the best as a child! Huge, and menacing with TONS of playability! Moving head with firing chin guns, whats not to love?

Mail away premiums

I loved these things a child! Cutting out the proofs of purchases, sending out for a mail away promo, and anxiously awaiting it's arrival. Some toys were only available this way! Here is a small collection of three I've obtained over the years.
