Some collection highlights that I am proud of. I have always prided myself on the best condition possible. Upgrading over tmany years has helped me to achieve the true nostalgia hit when owning something 40 years old and having it still looking like new. Inserts, original sticker sheets and paperwork always enhance each item and really bring back the memories

My lifetimes collection of vintage starwars toys from the Kenner and Palitoy line 1977- 1989. No reproduction parts and everything is in complete and in as good as possible condition. This is my collection, which began in around 1992 after my original toys got sold due to being played with and being incomplete.

Prior to eBay becoming established. There were only a handful of vintage starwars toy shops and the main two I used were the Corn exchange Manchester and the Norwich Space station. After eBay in around 2002 there were some shops in the USA and a Norwich Star Wars club and vintage starwars toy shops in Europe and UK such as Forbidden Planet, Space dreams, star toys.com and space toys.de.

UK forums such as vintagestarwarsfoprum.co.uk and Rebelscum have also been a source for me but the arrival of Facebook in around 2006 and the groups on there have also been a valuable resource. Echo base, Jabba’s palace , Jawas Outpost and some American groups. As well as this the popular auction houses such as vectis and hakes in the USA have been great and many of my items have been imported from overseas.
