This thing is huge!!! I am amazed at all of the different giant sized figures that have come out lately. We didn't come to anything close to this back in the 80's. It's very cool! This figure makes for a very nice display. I have a friend who works in a thrift store called Out of the Closet, and someone donated this. Yeah! Someone just gave it up! Crazy! My friend immediately snatched it up and gave it to me for my birthday. Happy birthday indeed!!!

Star Wars BendEms Luke Skywalker
Wow! For the past twenty years, Star Wars toys has been in stores. There was a time when that was not the case. The original Kenner line of Star Wars toys ended in 1985. After that, there wasn't much for collecting. There were only scraps. It was a dark time. Then in 1993, the BendEms toys were in stores! It was an exciting time because now Star Wars figures were back in stores. Yeah, they weren't' like the ones we were used to, but still...Star Wars!!! They were silly looking but I didn't care. It was something to collect that had the Star Wars name and I wanted it! I suppose, I was happy with my original collection because I ended up only getting one other BendEms.

The Power of the Force 2 Princess Leia in Ceremonial Dress
I got this figure at a thrift store in 2016 because my friend who works there held it for me and gave me a discount. The figure was originally in stores in 1998. It's definitely a better representation of Leia than the first POTF2 iteration. LOL!

I her day, Amidala also proved to be an adventurous spirit an d a great heroine to her people when her planet faced its greatest threat.

Princess Leia Art
I don't usually buy art. I only want official Star Wars merchandise, especially the vintage toys. This was given to me on my birthday in 2018. The art was from Disneyland. It is really nice and one of these days I'll frame it and put it up on a wall.

Star Wars "Talking" and Walking PORG
The Last Jedi is one of my favorite Star Wars movie. I really like the Porg. Yeah, the only thing they added to teh movie was cuteness and humor. That's okay, I really enjoyed it. I saw this Porg toy in stores and thought it was really adorable! I wanted to get it but did not want to pay $35. Yeah, 35$!! Crazy! It's only a toy. Anyway, the price finally came down on Amazon to $15 and I was okay with that price. Now it is in my collection. The sounds it make is so cute!!!

Vintage Wicket Lunch Box
This is the only Return of the Jedi lunch box I have. I got this with the Star Wars lunch box. It was a deal. Technically this is a Wicket lunch box since there was a separate collection for Wicket. I hope one day to get the actual ROTJ lunch box.
Vintage The Empire Strikes Back Lunch Box
I had a friend in 1988 who decided to get rid of his whole Star Wars collection. Yeah, crazy!!! Well, he decided to give it all to me. Of course, I was happy to take whatever he wanted to give me. The lunch box is one of the items. I actually used it at work. He he! Of course I had some looks but I didn't care. Star Wars forever!!!!
Vintage Star Wars Lunch Box
I never had the Star Wars lunch box when I was a kid. For sure, if I had this I would have totally used it at school. I would have totally been representing! Oh yeah!
Star Wars Metal Boxes
All of these boxes were given to me. Not something I would necessarily go out and buy, but if someone wants to give them to me, then of course I would totally take them!!! I'm not that crazy!!!!
