For me it is the Star Wars sleeping bag I got for Christmas I got for Christmas in 1977. Came across it while cleaning out the closets today.

I'm old so I have alot of original SW stuff in a box under the stairs. Got an original Luke, Darth Vader (though I lost his lightsaber long ago), a Ben Kenobi, a Stormtrooper, and a bunch of others. I think I even have the Emperor somewhere. I have a vintage Hasbro Millineum Falcon, an X wing (its the battle damaged one), and the scout walker too.

I used to have a shit load of other stuff, but alot got handed down to my brother who promply broke the shit.

An old poster I still have hanging (much taped) on my wall. It's not original or first run or anything but it's the old merchandise I have.

Now the thing I'm most proud of is one of the Anakin & Amidala A Jedi knows not love banners. I got it from the local theater and it's is now hanging in a it's magnificent and 6' x 14' glory on my dorm wall.

Sokar · Post by **Sokar** » 2003-01-03 02:03pm

Lets see.....I have a sightly worn Hasbro AT-AT, I played with that thing so much, and about a dozen action figures from various runs (circa Jedi's original release) For Trek I have original printings of the Animated Series novelizations by Alan Dean Foster and an origianl run of the "Encounter at Farpoint" novelization by David Gerrold. I didn't get into Trek until TNGso not to much stuff.

I've got an old school Melennium Falcon, a metal-cast imperial star destroyer, Luke's sand speeder from Tatooine, a rebel snowspeeder, a bespin cloud car, a few taun tans, a capeless darth vader, the emperor, a few of his royal guards, an AT-AT AND the AT-ST, three speeder bikes from Jedi, and a couple of the lead miniature figure sets they came out with back in the day.

Some old action figures...some screwed up valuable ones for reasons I have yet to dechiepher, and a plushie R2.

The big box of Kenner ROTJ toys, given to me in a joblot by a relative's son who'd grown out of them (Zounds! The irony...) some time around 1986. The toyline was so popular in Britain (and presumably imported in such massive numbers) that they were still available and selling well as late as 1988.
Which was nice.

All I have are some books and videos. They date back to around the time of the special editions.

A Squad of FIRST RUN and I do mean FIRST RUN from TESB Snowtroopers

Brother-Captain Gaius · Post by **Brother-Captain Gaius** » 2003-01-03 03:33pm

Well, I used to have a bunch of those Star Wars Micro Machines they were making 6-7 years ago, but my brother has pretty much destroyed all of them. I've got most of the novels, and the '95 release of the THX remastered trilogy.

EDIT: Star Trek; I've got this old broken electronic Enterprise D, it has 4 buttons on the back that make impulse, phasor, warp, and photon torp noises

. I also have an electronic TNG phasor, which can be set for stun or kill.

Jadeite · Post by **Jadeite** » 2003-01-03 03:36pm

A star wars book for kiddies from 1978 that i found in an antique store, and a collectors edition Empire Strikes Back magazine issue from 1980, which came with a poster of Vader inside.

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-01-03 03:41pm

Anyone got like the screwy old Ben Kenobi of the first series...I think he had a cloth cape instead of Vinyl.

As I said most of my stuff is pretty much first run SW(ANH) figures...my dad fueled my obsession.

Lord Pounder · Post by **Lord Pounder** » 2003-01-03 03:48pm

An ANH Poster from the time it came out, my mum used to work in a cinema and she got things like that.

TrailerParkJawa · Post by **TrailerParkJawa** » 2003-01-03 04:32pm

I have some of the action figures from the first trilogy. I think my C3-P0 is from the late 70's. The others are all from ESB and Jedi. The biggest thing I have is a somewhat crushed Twin Pod Cloud Car. Im not even sure where my action figures are. My favorite is the scout stormtrooper.

Uraniun235 · Post by **Uraniun235** » 2003-01-03 06:22pm

I have the 1975 first edition of Franz Joseph's "Star Fleet Technical Manual".

I win.

All originals (~77): Luke, R2, and 3PO action figures; diecast ISD; lunchbox; paperback of "Star Wars: from the adventures of Luke Skywalker" (w/ 16 pages of pics, (c)'76, 13th pprbk printing); a some kind of behind-the-scenes book that I can't find. Wish I could find that, it had lots of Ralph McQuarrie sketchs and other cool stuff.

I also have the paperback version of RotJ Marvel graphic novel, or as it states "now in complete, full-color illustrated form!"

When I get my scanner working again, I plan on posting some pics from the books.

There's also the ISD playset (complete with Darth Vader R&R thingy. My first lesson in the corrosive nature of old batteries: it had a flashlight thingy built in so you could light up the interior), and the original 'droid factory playset, but they're both in pretty bad shape and missing parts from being used.

I think my Dad still has the SW OST on vinyl, but the cool poster that came with it is long gone. (Remember those twin painters that used to do all the fantasy/sf artwork? What were their names? It was their version of the SW poster.)

No trek stuff. I had a TNG tech manual, but a drunken argument over possesion of said tome destroyed it.

Bitch! I've always wanted one of those! Had to settle for the remake. It does make sound, though.

Let's see, my husband has probably 30 or so original figures (minus guns, since they easily get lost in the yard) and several playsets, a SW ESB blanket, a diecast Falcon figure, several records (yes, ALBUMS), a storybook, an original stuffed Ewok, a couple of models... and I think that's it. (all originals)

We have quite a few ST:TNG figures and toys.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. X-Wing, Luke, DV, BK (vinyl cape), Artoo, Threepio, Chewbacca, Stormtrooper....I think that's all I have from the first movie. I know I have Bobba Fett and Yoda both from around ESB. I don't think I have any figrues from RotJ time frame. I think all my figures still had their lightsabers but really pointy part might be missing on some.

I had a die-cast Milleneum Falcon (about the size of my hand) and a Tie-fighter (wings came off and you could take out the pilot) but whether those are being stored in the same box is hard to say.

Remind me to dig my Star Trek Meggo action figures out of my grandparent's attic.

Cal Wright · Post by **Cal Wright** » 2003-01-03 10:51pm

I have some action figures from Christmas of either '83 or '84. I know I still have my fucking Rancor with the busted ass tooth. And the vintage Jabba, only that bastard is missing a few parts to his seat thing.

TrailerParkJawa · Post by **TrailerParkJawa** » 2003-01-04 02:18am

Anyone remember Underoo's ? I think I had a pair of ESB Underoo's or pajama's.
