Being a Star Wars obsessed (and spoilt) boy I had the vast majority of figures from Kenner (around 70) and a good amount of vehicles and ships. I spent many an hour playing with them and completly loved every minute of it. Then one day in 1987 I decided to sell all of my Star Wars stuff to the local kids. It all went for something like 30 quid, and I've had to live with this moment of madness for the rest of my life. Now I NEED to get it all back (early midlife crisis). So instead of a Porsche I can see me scouring ebay for the next few years righting that wrong and finding that elusive Jawa with the vinyl cape (2000 dollars) or Yak Face, the final Kenner figure in 1985 (1000 dollars) or the ultimate "Telescoping Lightsaber" Darth Vader, 1978 (6000 dollars). Nothing beats the smell of a 1983 Stormtrooper Kenner Star Wars figure fresh out of its packet.
