Vintage AT-AT Vehicle

The AT-AT is amazing! It is huge!!! I got it in 1981 upon it's first release. I loved it!  Unfortunately, my original AT-AT was stolen in 2010.  Years later, I was able to replace it. I actually found it on ebay, complete, and for way less than the current market price. Excellent! The AT-AT has movable legs and head.

Apparently the body of the AT-AT can hold up to ten action figures! Sweet! 

The head is moved by manipulating this handle and the chin guns fire by pressing that little button. 

Two figures can sit in this cockpit. 

Here are the really cool clear chin guns, which light up and pump back and forth when the trigger inside the toy is activated.

Rogue One: Interactech Stormtrooper


 This Stormtrooper is really cool!!! It's electronic and the sounds are based on what is connected to the Stormtrooper.
When the jet pack is connected then the sounds are the Stormtrooper flying. When the blaster is connected then the sounds are of the Stormtrooper shooting. It's really neat! 


The blaster fits nicely in the holster. 

There is a light up feature with a Tie Fighter on the Stormtrooper's chest when the button is pressed. Good stuff, and for about $8 at the 99 cents store, it was worth it!

The Force Awakens Rey and Speeder

I got this at the 99 cents store. It only cost me $7, and that is the main reason I got it. Paying full price of about $25 for this would have been crazy!

It's a nice looking toy. That's the thing, these are toys, but for some reason the stores are pricing them all like they are high quality collector's items. 

A press of the button on the side will make the top pop up, and another press will shoot the dart.

Vintage Ewok Combat Glider

The Ewok Combat Glider, which came out in 1984, consisted of a molded piece of tan plastic, a flexible rubber harness, and two hollow plastic "boulders." But it was pretty cool for what it was-- a low price-point reproduction of an implement that was actually seen in Return of the Jedi.


Complete, and in my collection since 1984.

Vintage Ewok Village Playset

The Ewok Village came out in 1083 and it's been in my collection ever since. It was on display on my dresser in my bedroom from 1983 until I had to move in 1986. The village stayed in a box from 1987 until 2010 because I was living in places that did not have any space. In 2009 I bought my own house and after everything was moved in and walls fixed and painted, the village was put on display in 2010. Finally, out of the box!!!  


This cool playset has a fire pit and drum. 

 A litter for carrying around C-3PO.

 A plastic boulder that hung from a dead branch,  a capture net, an elevator, and a secret escape hatch. The Ewok Village is huge and it's fabulous!

The Force Awakens: PZ-4CO Figure

I found this figure for $2! It's a droid. There's something about droids that make them really cool to have. 

On the back: 
PZ-4CO is a constant fixture in resistance base control rooms. offering tactical data and communications support during important operations. 
These accessories that Hasbro keep including with figures are a bit silly. They are not original to the character or the movie so why bother. It also seems to be a way to inflate the price. How about just lower the price and not include these lame accessories? Boom! Solved!

Figure looks great though! 

Solo: A Star Wars Story Cups From Denny's

Yeah, I got these! I'm a sucker for anything Star Wars related. These cups included a beverage so it was a good deal. There kind of cheaply made but still cool with the Falcon tops. 


Oh yeah, the movie rocks!!!

Porg Pez Dispencer

The Porg are just plain cute. They didn't affect the story in The Last Jedi, but they did add some levity and cuteness! 


Return of the Jedi Watch

This watch is in my collection but I have no recollection of how or when I got it. That's the problem with having a large collection, the ability to remember the origins of them all. Of course, if I had documented when and how I got them, then I wouldn't be in this predicament. Oh well!

The band flipped so one day you may be in a Jabba mood, or another day be in a Leia mood. It's cool!


The Phantom Menace Battle Droid Watch

I saw this watch back in 2000 at Toys R Us and I had to have it. The design is so cool looking and the way the watch opens up is great! 

I don't use watches now since I have a cell phone, but this stays in my collection because of its awesomeness!

Resistance A-Wing Fighter with Pilot

The A-Wing is a great looking vehicle. I have the original from the 80's. I got this new one at K-Mart only because it was FREE!!! You see, K-Mart has a point system that when you buy stuff you earn points toward purchases. Well, I earned enough points to get this cool A-Wing!!! Yeah!!!! 
Hasbro is being really cheap with the plastic because this vehicle is smaller than the original and the figure's arms have to be put under the control because the cockpit canopy will not close otherwise. So lame!!!

Her arms are under the controls! How is she flying that thing?????

Nice figure with good detail. Five points of articulation baby!!!! Just like the classics!!!! 

This is part of the Force Link system so the ship does not make sounds by itself. That's also kinda lame, because I don't wan't to constantly get the Force Link just to hear the ship make noises. Oh, well. Maybe Hasbro will go back to the original way of making vehicles after this Force Link stuff is done with.

Assorted Star Wars Badges

These badges came out in 2004. A family member gave them to me in 2017. 

For size comparison, I added a classic badge from the 80's. 

The Star Wars Trilogy Badge

I got this at a convention. I got it for FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! YES!!!

The Empire Strikes Back Pill Box

I wanted to get more of those tin boxes that are a bit larger than this. I thought this was one of those until I got it and saw the size. 

It's really small!!!

Force Link 3 Pack: Darth Vader, Luke, The Emperor

I have to stop doing this. I already have multiple Darth Vaders, and Emperor. I also have two other Jedi Lukes. Do I really need to get another variation of the same figure? These are different in that they are part of the Force Link.  Force Link allows the figures to "speak." 
Nice sculpt of Luke and a really good pose. 


 This Emperor is cool because of the added "lightning" effect. The figure also comes with hands that don't have lightning, and a cane. I seem to have misplaced those. Oops!

Darth Vader basically looks the same in each incarnation. Why do I keep getting him??

This is it though. I will not be buying any more variations on the same character. I have decided to only get figures that were never produced before. Also, I want to mostly focus on characters from the original trilogy. Just a preference. It will help me to save money as well. That's a bonus!
