Vintage Slave-1 Vehicle

The Slave 1, first issued in 1981,  is such a cool looking vehicle, and it belongs to Boba Fett! Although it has no electronic features, the Slave 1 has nifty features, like free-moving wings that lock in position, remote operated pilot's seat, side panel for access to cockpit and ship's interior, clicking movable tail cannon, and movable ramp to hold a frozen Han Solo. A cool feature is the black plastic carbonite-encased Han Solo. This Slave-1 has been in my collection since 1981, but I do not recall how I got it. 

INT-4 (Interceptor) Mini-Rig

I recently took a really good look at the INT-4 and noticed that it is reminiscent of the head of the larger AT-AT and Scout Walker vehicles. The INT-4 has been in my collection since 1982 and NOW I noticed the similarities! Of course one main difference is that it has wings on its sides. I used to play with this toy outside in my back yard and had a lot of fun. According to the box image it can be deployed from the AT-AT. Talk about not paying attention because I did not know about that cool aspect of the toy! The INT-4 can actually fit inside the AT-AT! I had to try it! 

So cool!!!

I actually have two of these vehicles. I got this second one when I was buying a lot of figures. It was in 2010 and it seemed sellers were more willing to add extras just because. It seems now that the new Star Wars movies are out selling are raising their prices and less willing to throw in the extras. Bummer! 

There are the two INT-4's together. It's a drag that my second one is missing the front gun. 

Return of the Jedi Badges

These collection of badges have been with me since the 80's. Unfortunately, I cannot remember where I got them. It is so strange that some of the collectibles I can totally remember where they were acquired but some just leave a complete blank in my memory. It can be very frustrating because it would be nice to know where I got some of the stuff. One thing I do remember it that these buttons were never used. I just kept them in my bedroom on display, and for a few years boxed away during transitional periods in my life. Still, I am very happy to have these in my collection.

Don Post Darth Vader Mask

The is the only Star War related mask I have ever owned. I decided the be Darth Vader for Halloween in 1984 and wore the costume to high school. I made the front electronic panel from cardboard and aluminum foil. The chest plate and belt accessories were also made from cardboard. I had gotten a really cool cape to go with the costume. I wore a simple black dress shirt and a black pant, and black boots.  It actually looked pretty good... from a distance.

And in a really bad photograph. LOL!!! Anyway, I had a lot of fun dressing up as Darth Vader. Now anyone can purchase an authentic version of the Darth Vader helmet. This Don Post helmet is made of plastic and is very uncomfortable to wear,  but it still holds a place in my heart with fond memories.

Destroy Death Star Game

I got the Destroy Death Star Game way back in 1977. I remember playing the game a few times and enjoying it every time. The game has a board with a rotating Death Star, and four game pieces that holds three X-Wing fighters each. The object of the game is to move around the game board to the Death Star and then make the shot to blow it up.  I lost the directions for the game so I am basically describing it on memory. It's a cool looking game and a lot of fun.

Tripod Laser Cannon

The Tripod Laser Cannon was first issued in 1982. It comes with "energizer" unit and hose, has moveable tripods, and a cannon that makes machine gun sounds when turned.  This is yet another item I got in the 80's and threw out the box. Argh! I have totally learned my lesson, but sheesh!

Vintage Ewok Assault Catapult

The Ewok Assault Catapult was made to look as though it was composed of tied-together logs, and it had a pretty neat action feature, which used the flexibility of the plastic to fling things (namely, the rocks) into the air. This is another item I got from my friend who was selling his collection. I actually did not purchase it myself because my friend wanted $30 and I just couldn't bring myself to pay that much. Instead, my husband got if for me and gave it to me for Krismas. I was very happy to have it in my collection.

Vintage Imperial Shuttle Pod Vehicle (ISP-6)

The ISP-6 was issued in 1983 as one of two new Return of the Jedi mini-rigs. This is another toy I got during my furver to collect all of the mini-rigs. 

I was able to find it on ebay pretty much complete. It looks good. I like that it looks like a miniature version of the Imperial Shuttle.
